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 is sent to the rear door window switch which will command the window motor to perform the up or down function.

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

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

2. Globally command the windows UP and DOWN by using the global window switch, all windows should globally express UP and express DOWN.

⇒	If all windows fail to perform the global command, refer to Global Command Malfunction.

3. 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.

4. Observe the scan tool Window Lockout Switch 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.
