1. Front Power Window Malfunction |
The power window system will operate any time the ignition is the ACC or RUN position. The power window system will also operate whenever the body control module (BCM) is in RAP mode. The door lock window switch contains individual window switches for each power window. Both windows are controlled up and down from the door lock window switch.
Each power window contains a reversible power window motor. The direction the window travels is dependent upon the polarity of the supply voltage. By reversing polarity of the supply voltage the window motor will move up or down. Each power window motor is internally circuit breaker protected.
Power Windows Description and Operation
⇒ | If the function does not perform as specified, replace the window control module. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | 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. |
• | Terminal 12 |
• | Terminal 9 |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the door lock window switch. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the door lock window switch. |
• | Terminal 6 |
• | Terminal 3 |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the door lock window switch. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the door lock window switch. |
⇒ | 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 window control module. |
⇒ | 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 window control module. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF during either for the commands, test either control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the window control module. |
Important: When performing the following tests, make sure that the window motor is not all ready in the position the test is attempting to produce.
⇒ | If the function does not perform as specified, replace the window motor. |
⇒ | If the function does not perform as specified, replace the window motor. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
