The driver and passenger door lock and side window switches are integrated control module switch assemblies. The driver door module (DDM) controls the passenger window through a serial data message to the passenger door module (PDM). When a power window switch is activated in the up or down positions the DDM or FPDM supplies power and ground to their respective window motor control circuits to drive the window motor in the required direction. The rear passenger power windows can also be operated from the DDM through a serial data message to the BCM. The rear passenger window switches on the DDM have 2 positions, up and down, their position is a direct input into the DDM. When the BCM receives a command to operate a rear window up or down, the appropriate signal is sent to the rear door window switch which will command the window motor to perform the up or down function.

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Ignition ON, observe the operation of the power windows while commanding each window UP and DOWN by using their respective window switches, each window should perform the UP and DOWN function.

⇒	If the driver window malfunctions, refer to Driver Window Malfunction.

⇒	If the front passenger window malfunctions, refer to Passenger Window Malfunction.

⇒	If either rear passenger power window malfunctions, refer to Rear Passenger Window Malfunction.

2. Observe the scan tool Driver RF Window Switch, Driver LR Window Switch and Driver RR Window Switch parameters while using the driver master control switches. The parameter should change between Off, Up, Down, and Express Down.

⇒	If the value does not change, replace the DDM.

3. Observe the scan tool Window Lockout Switch parameter while pressing and depressing the window lockout switch on the driver master control. The parameter should change between ON and OFF.

⇒	If the value does not change, replace the DDM.

Driver Power Window Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the DDM.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition OFF, connect the X1 harness connector at the DDM.
4. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Driver Window Switch parameters while using the driver power window switch. The parameter should change between Off, Up, Down, and Express Down.

⇒	If the value does not change, replace the DDM.

5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver window motor.
6. Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal A and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DDM.

7. Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal B and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DDM.

8. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
9. Ignition ON, command the driver window UP and DOWN by using the driver window switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UP and DOWN states.

⇒	If the test lamp is always OFF during either of the commands, test either control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the DDM.

10. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the driver window motor.

Passenger Power Window Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the PDM.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.

3. Ignition OFF, connect the X1 harness connector at the PDM.
4. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Passenger Window Switch parameters while using the passenger power window switch. The parameter should change between Off, Up, Down, and Express Down.

⇒	If the value does not change, replace the PDM.

5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the passenger window motor.
6. Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal A and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PDM.

7. Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal B and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PDM.

8. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
9. Ignition ON, command the passenger window UP and DOWN by using the passenger window switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
