Battery positive voltage is supplied to the left rear power window switch and the up and down relays through the window lockout signal circuit. If the window lockout function is disabled, the body control module (BCM) supplies battery positive voltage to the switch and relays and the left rear window operates normally. If the window lockout function is enabled, the BCM will not supply battery positive voltage to the switch and relays and the left rear window will be inoperative unless it is operated from the driver power window switch.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B3821 Left Rear Window Relay Power Circuit
• | Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts. |
• | The window lockout function is disabled. |
• | The window lockout function is disabled and the window lockout signal circuit is shorted to ground. |
• | The above condition must be met for 250 milliseconds. |
The left rear power window will be inoperative from both the driver and passenger power window switches.
When the fault is no longer present, the BCM changes the current DTC to a history DTC. The BCM will clear the history DTC after 50 fault-free ignition cycles.

Does the left rear power window operate UP and DOWN with each command? | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections | Go to Step 3 |
3 |
Does the test lamp illuminate? | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Test the window lockout signal circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the body control module (BCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 6 |
6 | Replace the BCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 7 | -- |
