Front Passenger's Power Window Switch Input Test

  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Open and close the driver's door, then remove the front passenger's power window switch panel (see FRONT PASSENGER'S POWER WINDOW SWITCH REPLACEMENT ).
  3. Disconnect the 37P connector (A) from the front passenger's 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. Reconnect the connector to the front passenger's power window switch, and do 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, go to step  8.
      FRONT PASSENGER'S POWER WINDOW SWITCH INPUT TEST RESULT

      Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
      4 GRN Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
      • Blown No. D18 (20 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
      • Faulty passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      3 BLK In all ignition switch positions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be about 5 V.
      • Poor ground (G405)
      • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
      27 BLK In all ignition switch positions disconnect the front passenger's power window motor 6P connector. Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
      • Poor ground (G405)
      • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
      37 PUR Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
      • Faulty front passenger's power window switch
      • A short to ground in the wire
      36 PNK Ignition switch ON (II), and front passenger's power window switch moving up or down Measure the voltage between terminals No. 36 and No. 3: An analog voltmeter should alternate to between 0 V and about 5 V (a digital voltmeter should read about 2.5 V while the window moves).
      • Faulty front passenger's power window switch
      • Faulty front passenger's power window motor
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      • A short to ground in the wire
      35 ORN Ignition switch ON (II), and front passenger's power window switch moving up or down Measure the voltage between terminals No. 35 and No. 3: An analog voltmeter should alternate to between 0 V and about 5 V (a digital voltmeter should read about 2.5 V while the window moves).
      • Faulty front passenger's power window switch
      • Faulty front passenger's power window motor
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      • A short to ground in the wire
  6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  7. Open and close the driver's door, then disconnect the 37P connector from the power window master switch.
  8. With the connector still disconnected, do 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, replace the front passenger's power window switch (see FRONT PASSENGER'S POWER WINDOW SWITCH REPLACEMENT  ).
      NOTE: After replacing the front passenger's power window switch, reset the power window control unit (see RESETTING THE POWER WINDOW CONTROL UNIT  ).
      FRONT PASSENGER's POWER WINDOW MASTER INPUT TEST RESULT

      Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
      2 RED Connect terminals No. 4 and No. 1 (or No. 2), and terminals No. 2 (or No. 1) and No. 3 with jumper wires. Check front passenger's power window motor operation: The front passenger's power window should open (or close).
      • Faulty front passenger's power window motor
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      1 BLU
      34 GRY Disconnect the power window master switch 37P and moonroof control unit/motor 14P connectors. Check for continuity between terminal No. 34 and power window master switch 37P connector terminal No. 36: There should be continuity. An open in the UART wire
      Check for continuity between terminal No. 34 and moonroof control unit/motor 14P connector terminal No. 12: There should be continuity. An open in the UART wire
      Check for continuity to ground: There should be no continuity. A short to ground in the UART wire
