Rear Window Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Saturn Outlook, 2010 GMC Acadia, 2010 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2010 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate rear window switch.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal F and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal G and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
    4. IMPORTANT: Check the lockout switch on the driver door switch and verify the rear window switches are enabled.
  4. Test for greater than 9 volts between the control circuit terminal D and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. Test for greater than 9 volts between the signal circuit terminal C and ground while commanding the rear window DOWN with a scan tool.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  6. Test for greater than 9 volts between the signal circuit terminal A and ground while commanding the rear window UP with a scan tool.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  7. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the rear window switch and disconnect the harness connector at the rear window motor.
  8. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
  9. Ignition ON, command the rear window UP and DOWN by using the rear window switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF during either of the commands, test either control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the rear window switch
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test either control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the rear window switch.
  10. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear window motor.
