Retained Power Operation Does Not Operate Properly

RETAINED POWER OPERATION DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY

System Description
Power windows can be raised or lowered with each sub-switch or the power window main switch located on the driver's door trim when ignition switch is in ON position.
When power window lock switch is locked, no windows can be raised or lowered except for driver's door window.
When ignition switch is in ON position, to fully open/close the driver's door window, press down/pull up completely on automatic switch (main switch) and release it; it needs not be held. The window will automatically open/close all the way. To stop the window, pull up/press down then release the switch.
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position from ON or START position, power window can be raised or lowered for 45 seconds. This operation (retained power operation) is canceled when front door is opened.

Possible Cause
- Front door switch
- Circuit open or short
- Smart entrance control unit
