Driver's Power Window Motor Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Motor Test

Remove the door panel (see FRONT DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
Disconnect the 6P connector (A) from the power window motor.

If the motor does not run or fails to run smoothly, replace the driver's door regulator (see FRONT DOOR GLASS AND REGULATOR REPLACEMENT ).
Hall IC Unit (Pulser) Test
Reconnect the 6P connector to the power window motor.
Measure the voltage between the terminals.
- There should be battery voltage between terminals No. 6 (+) and No. 5 (-) when the ignition switch is ON (II).
- Connect an analog voltmeter between terminals No. 3 (+) and No. 5 (-), 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 terminals No. 2 (+) and No. 5 (-), 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 POWER WINDOW 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 ).
