Global Open - MKZ Only

NOTE: The global open feature may be enabled/disabled via scan tool or in some cases modified by the customer following a procedure listed in the vehicle Owner's Literature. For a complete list of available programmable parameters, refer to Information Bus.

The SJB sends a signal on the global open circuit, to both front door window motors and the roof opening panel motor, to open or close the windows based on a signal received from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. If the accessory delay relay is active, the global open feature will not operate.
