Power Window Test 5A - Inoperative Right Rear Window Motor

NOTE: Perform POWER WINDOW TEST 1A  before proceeding. For connector terminal ID, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  and WIRING DIAGRAM. See POWER WINDOWS article. Perform TEST VER-1A  after each repair.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting any module connector. Ensure all connectors are clean and tight.
  1. If rear window operates from driver's door module, go to step 14). If rear window operates from rear door switch, replace driver's door module. If rear window does not operate from rear door switch, go to next step.
  2. Disconnect right rear window motor connector. Connect test light between window motor connector terminals. Using scan tool, actuate right rear window up relay. If test light does not flash when relay is actuated, go to step 4). If test light flashes when relay is actuated, go to next step.
  3. Using scan tool, actuate right rear window down relay. If test light flashes when relay is actuated, replace power window motor. If test light does not flash when relay is actuated, replace passenger's door module.
  4. Disconnect right rear window switch connector. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, probe right rear window switch connector terminal No. 1 (Dark Blue/White wire) and No. 4 (Red/Black wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to step 9). If voltage is 10 volts or more, go to next step.
  5. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, probe right rear door window connector terminal No. 2 (Brown wire). If resistance is less than 20 ohms, repair short in Brown wire. If resistance is 20 ohms or more, go to next step.
  6. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, probe right rear door window connector terminal No. 5 (Violet wire). If resistance is less than 20 ohms, repair short in Violet wire. If resistance is 20 ohms or more, go to next step.
  7. Connect a jumper between right rear door window switch connector terminals No. 1 (Dark Blue/White wire) and No. 2 (Brown wire). Connect a second jumper wire between terminal No. 4 (Red/Black wire) and No. 5 (Violet wire). Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, probe window motor connector terminal No. 1 (Brown wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in Brown wire. If voltage is 10 volts or more, go to next step.
  8. With jumper wires still connected, probe window motor connector terminal No. 2 (Violet wire). If resistance is less than 10 volts, repair open in Violet wire. If resistance is 10 volts or more, replace rear door window switch.
  9. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, backprobe passenger's door module 12-pin connector terminal No. 3 (Dark Blue/White wire). See Figure under POWER DOOR LOCK TEST 2B. If voltage is less than 10 volts, replace passenger's door module. If voltage is 10 volts or more, go to next step.
  10. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, backprobe passenger's door module 12-pin connector terminal No. 4 (Red/Black wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, replace passenger's door module. If voltage is 10 volts or more, go to next step.
  11. Disconnect passenger's door module 12-pin connector. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, probe passenger's door module 12-pin connector terminal No. 3 (Dark Blue/White wire). If resistance is less than 100 ohms, repair short in Dark Blue/White wire. If resistance is 100 ohms or more, go to next step.
  12. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, probe passenger's door module 12-pin connector terminal No. 4 (Red/Black wire). If resistance is less than 100 ohms, repair short in Red/Black wire. If resistance is 100 ohms or more, go to next step.
  13. Connect passenger's door module 12-pin connector. Ensure ignition is on. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, probe right rear door window switch connector terminal No. 1 (Dark Blue/White wire). If resistance is less than 10 volts, repair open in Dark Blue/White wire. If resistance is 10 volts or more, repair open in Red/Black wire.
  14. Turn ignition off. Disconnect right rear door window switch connector. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, probe right rear door window switch connector terminal No. 6 (Black wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Black wire. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace rear door window switch.
