If the motor does not run or fails to run smoothly, replace it.
Pulser Test
Reconnect the 6P connector to the power window motor.
Check for voltage between the terminals.
- There should be battery voltage between the No. 6 (+) and No. 5 (--) terminals when the ignition switch is ON (II).
- Connect an analog voltmeter between the No. 3 (+) and No. 5 (--) terminals, and run the window motor down or up. The voltmeter needle should move back and forth alternately (a digital voltmeter should show the average voltage between 0-5 V).
- Connect an analog voltmeter between the No. 2 (+) and No. 5 (--) terminals, and run the window motor at down or up. The voltmeter needle should move back and forth alternately (a digital voltmeter should show the average voltage between 0-5 V).
If the voltage is not as specified, do the power window master switch input test (terminals No. 4, No. 6 and No. 17) (see MASTER SWITCH INPUT TEST ).
If the switch test is OK, replace the power window motor.
Reset the power window control unit (see RESETTING THE POWER WINDOW CONTROL UNIT ).
