INSPECT ONE TOUCH POWER WINDOW SYSTEM CURRENT OF CIRCUIT
Using an ammeter:





a. Disconnect the connector from the driver door ECU.
b. Connect the positive (+) lead from the ammeter to terminal 9 on the wire harness side connector and the negative (-) lead to negative terminal of the battery.
c. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 18 on the wire harness side connector.
d. As the window goes down, check that the current flow is approximately 7 A.
e. Check that the current increases up to approximately 14.5 A or more when the window stops going down.

HINT: The PTC opens some 4 - 90 seconds after the window stops going down, so check must be made before the PTC operates. If the operation is as specified, replace the driver door ECU.
