Master Switch Input Test

NOTE: Make sure the ignition switch is OFF before disconnecting the connectors.
  1. Before testing the power windows, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control system using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Remove the power window master switch (see MASTER SWITCH REPLACEMENT  ).
  4. Disconnect the 23P connector (A) from the power window master switch (B).

  5. 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 6.
  6. 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 7.
    PROBLEM SYMPTOM CHART

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained
    1
    2    		 BLK Under all conditions Check for voltage to ground
    There should be less than 0.5 V.
    • Poor ground (G401, G501)
    • An open in the wire
    10 GRN/WHT Under all conditions Check for voltage to ground
    There should be battery voltage
    • Blown No. 28 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
    • Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
    15 WHT/RED Under all conditions Check for voltage to ground:
    There should be battery voltage.

  7. Reconnect the connector to the power window master switch, turn the ignition switch ON (II) 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 control unit must be faulty; replace the power window master switch, and go to step 8.
