WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The system is composed of the power window master switch and the driver's power window motor.

The driver's power window motor incorporates a Hall IC unit which generates pulses during the motor's operation and sends the pulses to the driver's power window control unit. As soon as the power window control unit detects a change in the pulses frequency from the Hall IC unit, the driver's power window control unit makes the power window motor stop and reverse. This is prevent pinching your hand of fingers during auto-up operation.
