Component Testing

Door Lock Window Switch

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X2 harness connectors at the door lock window switch.
  2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal 11 and the ignition terminal 10 with the lockout switch in the ENABLE position.
    • If greater than the specified value, replace the door lock window switch
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the control terminal 11 and the ignition circuit terminal 10 with the lockout switch in the DISABLE position.
    • If less than the specified value, replace the door lock window switch.
  4. With the switch in the INACTIVE position, test for infinite resistance between the control terminals listed below and the ignition terminal 10:
    • Control terminal 8
    • Control terminal 7
    • Control terminal 12
    • Control terminal 13
    • If less than the specified value, replace the door lock window switch.
  5. With the switch in the UP position, test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminals listed below and the ignition terminal 10:
    • LR window switch control terminal 8
    • RR window switch control terminal 13
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the door lock window switch.
  6. With the switch in the DOWN position, test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminals listed below and the ignition terminal 10:
    • LR window switch control terminal 7
    • RR window switch control terminal 12
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the door lock window switch.

Passenger Rear Window Switch

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate rear window switch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the control terminals 1 and 5 and the control terminal 4 with the switch in the INACTIVE position.
    • If less than the specified value, replace the rear window switch.
  3. Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal 1 and the control terminal 4 with the switch in the UP position.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the rear window switch.
  4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal 5 and the control terminal 4 with the switch in the DOWN position.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the rear window switch

Window Motor

    IMPORTANT: When performing the following tests, make sure that the window motor is not all ready in the position the test is attempting to produce.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate window motor
  2. Install a 20A fused jumper wire between the control terminal A and 12V. Momentarily install a jumper wire between the control terminal B and ground. The window motor should perform the UP/DOWN function.
    • If the function does not perform as specified, replace the window motor.
  3. Reverse the jumper wires; the window motor should perform the DOWN/UP function.
    • If the function does not perform as specified, replace the window motor.
