The power window system will operate anytime the ignition is in the ACCY or ON position. Both the driver and passenger power window switches control the up and down functions of the passenger window. The driver power window switch also contains a lockout switch, the passenger window switch may be disabled by pressing the lockout switch, however the passenger window will operate normally from the driver window switch.
The power window system is supplied voltage through the WINDOW relay. The supply side of the relay is connected to circuit breaker 8 and controlled through the B+ voltage circuit. The relay coil is connected to a constant ground source and is connected to circuit breaker 6 and controlled through the ignition circuit. When the ignition is placed in the ON position the relay is energized and voltage is available for both power window switches.
The up and down switches in the driver window switch provides a command to the passenger window switch when activated through the passenger window up and down control circuits. The passenger power window up and down switches are connected in parallel to these signal circuits internally in the passenger window switch. When any of the switches are actuated, the passenger window switch will supply voltage to the passenger window motor through the control up or down circuit and ground the opposite side.
The passenger window motor contains an integrated circuit breaker which will open after 30 seconds of continuous voltage.
Power Windows Description and Operation
Ignition ON, command the passenger door window UP and DOWN by using the driver and passenger window switches. The passenger window should perform the UP and DOWN function from each switch.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the WINDOW relay. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands, test either control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the passenger window switch |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test either control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the passenger window switch. |
⇒ | If less than the specified value, replace the driver window switch. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the driver window switch. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the driver window switch. |
Important: When performing the following tests, make sure that the device is not all ready in the position the test is attempting to produce.
⇒ | If the function does not perform as specified, replace the passenger window motor. |
⇒ | If the function does not perform as specified, replace the passenger window motor. |
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the relay. |
• | 30 and 86 |
• | 30 and 87 |
• | 30 and 85 |
• | 85 and 87 |
⇒ | If not the specified value, replace the relay. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the relay. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
