Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

  • Is the voltage B+?

    (Open: terminal 1H/ close: terminal 1J)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the power window main switch.

(See POWER WINDOW MAIN SWITCH REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

7

  • Measure the voltage at the power window motor. (battery power supply terminal) while operating the power window using the power window motor.

  • Is the voltage B+?

    (Open: terminal F/ close: terminal E)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Inspect for an open or short circuit in the wiring harness between the power window main switch and the power window motor.

Inspect the power window main switch and power window motor connector connections. (damage/pulled-out pins, corrosion)

Repair or replace if necessary.

8

  • Operate the driver's power window using the power window main switch.

  • Does the power window motor operate (rotate)?

CAUTION:

  • If the power window motor temperature is high, the motor may not rotate due to the motor internal bimetal function. Leave it untouched for about 3 min. to cool it down, then reinspect.

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the power window motor.

(See POWER WINDOW MOTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
