Right Rear Power Window Switch Input Test

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  2. Remove the right rear power window switch (see PASSENGER'S POWER WINDOW SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT  ).
  3. Disconnect the 14P connector (A) from the right rear power window switch (B).

  4. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 5.
  5. With the connector still disconnected, make these input tests at the connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6.
    TEST CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE REFERENCE CHART

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    2 GRY Driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector X (39P) and passenger's MPCS unit connector A (28P) disconnected Check for continuity between the No. 2 terminal and driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector X (39P) No. 15 terminal:
    There should be continuity.
    • Faulty passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
    Check for continuity to ground:
    There should be no continuity.
    • Faulty passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • A short to ground in the wire
    1 RED Connect the No. 8 and No. 1 terminals with a jumper wire, and connect the No. 7 terminal to body ground. Check the right rear power window motor operation:
    The motor should run (the window should go down).
    • Blown No. 5 (20A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • Faulty right rear power window motor
    • An open in the wire
    7 BLU Connect the No. 8 and No. 7 terminals with a jumper wire, and connect the No. 1 terminal to body ground. Check the right rear power window motor operation:
    The motor should run (the window should go up).
    • Blown No. 5 (20A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • Faulty right rear power window motor
    • An open in the wire
  6. Reconnect the connector to the right rear power window switch, and make these input tests at the connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the right rear power window switch must be faulty; replace it (see PASSENGER'S POWER WINDOW SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT  ) and go to step 7.
    TEST CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE REFERENCE CHART

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    6 BLK Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground:
    There should be less than 0.5 V.
    • Poor ground (G651)
    • An open in the wire
    14 BLK Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground:
    There should be less than 0.5 V.
    • Poor ground (G651)
    • An open in the wire
    8 PUR Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground:
    There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 22 (70A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
    • Blown No. 5 (20A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • Faulty passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
    3 PNK Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground:
    There should be battery voltage.
    • Faulty right rear power window switch
    • An open in the wire
    5 LTGRN Ignition switch ON (II) and right rear power window motor runs by connecting the No. 8 and No. 1 terminals with a jumper wire, and connect the No. 7 terminal to body ground. Measure the voltage between the No. 5 and No. 6 terminals:
    There should be 0-about 5 V - 0-about 5 V repeatedly (a digital voltmeter reads about 2.5 V while the window moves).
    • Blown No. 5 (20A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • Faulty right rear power window switch
    • Faulty right rear power window motor
    • An open in the wire
    4 ORN Ignition switch ON (II) and right rear power window motor runs by connecting the No. 8 and No. 1 terminals with a jumper wire, and connect the No. 7 terminal to body ground. Measure the voltage between the No. 4 and No. 6 terminals:
    There should be 0-about 5 V - 0-about 5 V repeatedly (a digital voltmeter reads about 2.5 V while the window moves).
    • Blown No. 5 (20A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • Faulty right rear power window switch
    • Faulty right rear power window motor
    • An open in the wire
  7. Reset the power window control unit (see RESETTING THE POWER WINDOW CONTROL UNIT  ).
