April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Preliminary Procedure

  1. Verify customers complaint by operating power window system. Check for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. Check for blown fuse(s), loose or corroded connectors, or damaged wiring harness. Check window glass and regulator drive mechanism. Repair or replace components as necessary. Also see TROUBLE SHOOTING .
  2. If all components are okay, connect NGS tester to DLC located below instrument panel. Using NGS tester, perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If NGS tester displays CKT 914, CKT 915 or CKT 70=ALL MODULES NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, see MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article to diagnose network concern. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Generic Electronic Module (GEM), perform TEST A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH GEM MODULE  under SYMPTOM TESTS.
  3. If NGS tester displays SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record continuous DTCs. Erase continuous DTCs. Perform self-test diagnostics for GEM using NGS tester. If GEM DTCs are retrieved, see GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE (GEM) DTC DEFINITIONS table to continue diagnosis. If no DTCs are retrieved, perform appropriate test under SYMPTOM TESTS .
