Pinpoint Test D: A Single Power Window is Inoperative - LH or RH Rear

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 100, Power Windows for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The LH rear window control switch receives delayed accessory power from the LH front window control switch through circuit CPW14 (VT/WH) when the window lock switch is set to the UNLOCK position, and the delayed accessory feature is active. When the LH rear window is operated in the up direction from the LH rear window control switch, power is sent to the LH rear window motor through circuit CPW22 (GN/VT) and ground through circuit CPW21 (BN). When the LH rear window is operated in the down direction from the LH rear window control switch, power is sent to the LH rear window motor through circuit CPW21 (BN) and ground through circuit CPW22 (GN/VT).

The RH rear window control switch receives delayed accessory power from the LH front window control switch through circuit CPW14 (VT/WH) when the window lock switch is set to the UNLOCK position, and the delayed accessory feature is active. When the RH rear window is operated in the up direction from the RH rear window control switch, power is sent to the RH rear window motor through circuit CPW24 (WH/VT) and ground through circuit CPW23 (GY). When the RH rear window is operated in the down direction from the RH rear window control switch, power is sent to the RH rear window motor through circuit CPW23 (GY) and ground through circuit CPW24 (WH/VT).

Rear Window Operation From LH Front Switch

When the LH rear power window is operated in the up direction from the LH front window control switch, power is sent to the LH rear window control switch through circuit CPW16 (BU/OG), which transfers power to the LH rear window motor through circuit CPW22 (GN/VT). Ground is provided to the LH rear window switch through circuit CPW15 (YE), which transfers ground to the LH rear window motor through circuit CPW21 (BN).

During LH rear power window down operation from the LH front window control switch, power is sent to the LH rear window control switch through circuit CPW15 (YE), which transfers power to the LH rear window motor through circuit CPW21 (BN). Ground is provided to the LH rear window switch through circuit CPW16 (BU/OG), which transfers ground to the LH rear window motor through circuit CPW22 (GN/VT).

When the RH rear power window is operated in the up direction from the LH front window control switch, power is sent to the RH rear window control switch through circuit CPW18 (GY/VT), which transfers power to the RH rear window motor through circuit CPW24 (WH/VT). Ground is sent to the RH rear window switch through circuit CPW17 (BN/GN), which transfers ground to the RH rear window motor through circuit CPW23 (GY).

During RH rear power window down operation from the LH front window control switch, power is sent to the RH rear window control switch through circuit CPW17 (BN/GN), which transfers power to the RH rear window motor through circuit CPW23 (GY). Ground is sent to the RH rear window switch through circuit CPW18 (GY/VT), which transfers ground to the RH rear window motor through circuit CPW24 (WH/VT).

This pinpoint is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- LH front window switch
- Rear window motor
- Rear window switch



PINPOINT TEST D: A SINGLE POWER WINDOW IS INOPERATIVE - LH OR RH REAR

-------------------------------------------------
D1 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE LH REAR OR RH REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH


- Disconnect: Inoperative Rear Window Control Switch C701 or C801.
- Ignition ON.
- NOTE: Set the window lock switch to the UNLOCK position.
- Measure the voltage between the inoperative rear window connector and ground:
- for the RH rear window control switch, measure the voltage between RH rear window control switch C801-5, circuit CPW14 (VT/WH), harness side and ground.
- for the LH rear window control switch, measure the voltage between C701-5, circuit CPW14 (VT/WH), harness side and ground.




- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes
GO to D2.

No
REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
D2 CHECK THE GROUNDS TO THE INOPERATIVE REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH


- Ignition OFF.
- Measure the resistance between the inoperative window control switch and ground:
- for the RH rear window control switch, measure the resistance between RH rear window control switch C801-1, circuit CPW18 (GY/VT), harness side and ground; and between RH rear window control switch C801-6, circuit CPW17 (BN/GN), harness side and ground.
- for the LH rear window control switch, measure the resistance between LH rear window control switch C701-1, circuit CPW16 (BU//OG), harness side and ground; and between LH rear window control switch C701-6, circuit CPW15 (YE), harness side and ground.




- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to D4.

No
GO to D3.

-------------------------------------------------
D3 CHECK THE CIRCUITS TO THE INOPERATIVE REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH FOR AN OPEN


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: LH Front Window Control Switch C504a.
- For an inoperative LH rear power window, measure the resistance between LH front window control switch C504a harness side and LH rear window control switch C701 harness side using the following chart:









- For an inoperative RH rear power window, measure the resistance between LH front window control switch C504a harness side and RH window control switch C801 harness side using the following chart:









- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?

Yes
INSTALL a new LH front window control switch. REFER to Window Control Switch Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
REPAIR the circuit(s) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
