1. Driver Window Malfunction 2. Passenger Window Malfunction |
The driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) check for proper system voltage of 9-16 volts at least once every 20 milliseconds.
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
While attempting a power window OPEN or CLOSE command, the DDM and/or PDM detects the voltage is below 9 volts or above 15.9 volts for greater than 5 seconds.
The power windows will be inoperative
• | The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present. |
• | When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles. |
Power Windows Description and Operation
Control Module References for scan tool information
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Battery Voltage Signal parameter while commanding the power windows to OPEN and CLOSE by using the driver window switch. The parameter should be between 9.6-13.6 volts.
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the B+ circuit for a an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the door module. |
⇒ | If the circuit tests normal and the system voltage is less than or greater than the specified range, refer to Charging System Test . |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
