Master Switch Input Test

NOTE: The power window control unit is built into the power window master switch, and it only controls the driver's window operations.
  1. Remove the driver's door panel (see FRONT DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  2. Remove the power window master switch (A).
  3. Disconnect the 14P connector (B) from the master switch.

  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 14P connector still disconnected from the switch connector, 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.
    CAVITY TEST CONDITION CHART DISCONNECTED

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained
    7 RED/YEL Connect the No. 11 and No. 7 terminals, and the No. 4 and No. 14 terminals. Check for driver's window motor operation: It should run (the driver's window moves down).
    • Faulty driver's window motor
    • An open in the wire
    4 RED/BLK
    3 BLU/RED Connect the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals, and the No. 3 and No. 10 terminals, then turn the ignition switch ON (II). Check for front passenger's window motor operation: It should run (the front passenger's window moves down).
    • Faulty front passenger's window motor
    • Faulty front passenger's window switch
    • An open in the wire
    1 BLU/WHT
  6. Reconnect the 14P connector to the switch, and perform the following input tests.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace the power window master switch.
    CAVITY TEST CONDITION CHART RECONNECTED

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained
    10 BLK Under all conditions Check for voltage to ground: There should be less than 1 V.
    • Poor ground (G501)
    • An open in the wire
    14
    2 GRN/BLK Ignition switch ON (II) Check for voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 6 (7.5 A), No. 22 (20 A), or No. 23 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
    • Faulty power window relay
    • Poor ground (G301)
    • An open in the wire
    11 GRN/WHT Under all conditions
    12 YEL/GRN ignition switch ON (II) Check for voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
    5 RED/WHT Ignition switch ON (II) Check for voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Faulty power window master switch
    • Short to ground in the wire
    6 LT GRN Under all conditions Check for voltage to ground: There should be less than 1 V. An open in the wire
    13 BLU Ignition switch ON (II), and the driver's window switch in AUTO DOWN Check for voltage between the No. 13 and No. 14 terminals: There should be 0 V---about 5 V---0 V---about 5 V repeatedly (a digital voltmeter reads about 2.5 V while the window moves).
    • Faulty power window master switch
    • Short to ground in the wire
    • Faulty driver's window motor
    8 ORN Ignition switch ON (II), and the driver's window switch in AUTO DOWN Check for voltage between the No. 8 and No. 14 terminals: There should be 0 V---about 5 V---0 V---about 5 V repeatedly (a digital voltmeter reads about 2.5 V while the window moves).
NOTE: Do the power window control unit reset procedure (see RESETTING THE POWER WINDOW CONTROL UNIT  ).
