INSPECT ONE TOUCH POWER WINDOW SYSTEM/CURRENT OF CIRCUIT
Using An Ammeter:
a. Disconnect the connector from the master switch.
b. Connect the positive (+) lead from the ammeter to terminal 6 on the wire harness side connector and the negative (-) lead to negative terminal of the battery.
c. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 13 on the wire harness side connector.
d. As the window goes down, check that the current flow is up to approximately 7 A.
e. Check that the current increases approximately 14.5 A or more when the window stops going down.

HINT: The circuit breaker opens some 4 - 40 seconds after the window stops going down, so that check must be made before the circuit breaker operates.

If the operation is as specified, replace the master switch.
