The driver and passenger door lock and side window switches are integrated control module switch assemblies. The driver door switch (DDS) controls the passenger window through a serial data message to the passenger door switch (PDS). When a power window switch is activated in the up or down positions the DDS or PDS 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 DDS through a serial data message to the BCM. The rear passenger window switches on the DDS have 2 positions, up and down, their position is a direct input into the DDS. When the BCM receives a command to operate a rear window up or down the appropriate signal circuit to the rear door window switch.

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 is inoperative, refer to Driver Window Malfunction.

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

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

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

⇒	If the parameter does not change, replace the DDS.

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

⇒	If the parameter does not change, replace the DDS.

Driver Window Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the DDS.
2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal D and ground.

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

4. Ignition OFF, connect the X1 harness connector and disconnect the X2 harness connector at the DDS.
5. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal B5 and ground.

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

6. Ignition OFF, connect the X2 harness connector at the DDS.
7. 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, Express Down.

⇒	If the parameter does not change, replace the DDS.

8. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver window motor.
9. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
10. 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 or open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the DDS.

⇒	If the test lamp is always ON, test either control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the DDS.

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

3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal D and ground.

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

4. Ignition OFF, connect the X1 harness connector and disconnect the X2 harness connector at the PDS.
5. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal B5 and ground.

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

6. Ignition OFF, connect the X2 harness connector at the PDS.
7. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Psgr RF Window Switch parameters while using the passenger power window switch. The parameter should change between Off, Up, Down, Express Down.
