Diagnostic Test




1. MEASURE POWER WINDOWS FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT VOLTAGE

NOTE: Inspect Fuse 19 located in the Underhood Accessory Fuse Block. If the fuse is open, repair the cause of the open fuse before continuing.

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Body Control Module (BCM) harness connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

YES: Go to 2
NO: Repair the BCM Fused B(+) circuit for an open. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test




2. MEASURE LEFT FRONT POWER WINDOW SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT RESISTANCE

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Left Front Power Window Switch harness connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Measure the resistance of the Left Front Power Window Switch Ground circuit from the Left Front Power Window Switch harness connector to the BCM harness connector.

Q: Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

YES: Go to 3
