1. Driver Window Malfunction 2. Passenger Window Malfunction 3. Left Rear Window Malfunction 4. Right Rear Window Malfunction |
The front and rear power windows are controlled by the driver door module (DDM) and front passenger door module (PDM). The DDM and PDM each contain power window switches that are integrated into the module. The DDM contains the master power window switch that controls all power window operations. The DDM supplies the left rear power window switch with a 12 volt reference and signal circuit. The power window switch contained in the PDM controls the front passenger window operation only. The PDM supplies the right rear power window switch with a 12 volt reference and signal circuit.
When the driver power window switch is activated to a desired position, the DDM examines the request and checks for messages from other vehicle control modules prohibiting window movement. If no prohibitive messages have been received, the DDM will send a serial data message to the driver door window motor to move the window to the desired position.
When the DDM receives a request to operate one of the right side passenger windows from the master switch, a serial data message is sent to the PDM. The PDM examines the request and checks for messages from other vehicle control modules prohibiting the window movement. If no prohibitive messages have been received, the PDM will send a serial data message to the appropriate window motor to move the window as requested.
The DDM and PDM supply there respective rear power window switches with a 12 volt reference and signal circuit. The rear power window switches contain separate resistors for each switch position. When a rear power window switch is activated, the associated door control module interprets the signal and checks for messages from other vehicle control modules prohibiting the window movement. If no prohibitive messages have been received, the door control module sends a serial data message to the appropriate power window motor commanding the requested window position.
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
An internal malfunction or a momentary voltage spike has been detected by the DDM or PDM in the front power window motor while commanding the window UP/DOWN.
A not normalized/programmed driver or front passenger door power window motor.
The front window motor experiences a loss of voltage in the B+ circuit or an open/high resistance in the serial data circuit.
The appropriate power window malfunction
If the DTC is current, the appropriate window motor must be replaced before the DTC can be cleared.
The affected power window motor must be programmed before the DTC can be cleared.
The affected power window motor must be calibrated before the DTC can be cleared.
Power Windows Description and Operation
Control Module References for scan tool information
Ignition ON, command appropriate power window DOWN and UP with a scan tool. The power window should perform the DOWN and UP function as commanded.
Ignition ON, command the appropriate power window DOWN and UP with a scan tool. The power window should go DOWN and UP as commanded.
⇒ | If the DTC is current and the power window is inoperative, replace the power window motor. |
⇒ | If the DTC is history and the power window performs the UP and DOWN functions, clear the DTC. |
Ignition ON, reprogram the appropriate power window and operate the power window within the conditions for running the DTC, verify the DTC does not reset.
⇒ | If the DTC resets, replace the power window motor. |
Ignition ON, command the appropriate power window motor fully DOWN by pressing and holding the window switch for 5 seconds, then command the power window motor fully UP by lifting and holding the window switch for 5 seconds. Operate the power window within the conditions for running the DTC, verify the DTC does not reset
⇒ | If the DTC resets, replace the power window motor. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
