Power Windows Inoperative - All (Sedan)
Diagnostic Fault Information
Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Circuit/System Description
When the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCY position, or Accessory Delay Module is enabled and the driver's window switch is activated to the DOWN position, battery positive voltage is applied to the window motor causing the window to open. When the driver's window switch is activated to the UP position, battery positive voltage is applied to the window motor in the opposite direction and the window closes.
The driver's window switch also controls the front passenger, LR, and RR windows.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCY position, or RAP is enabled and an individual window switch is activated to the DOWN position, battery positive voltage is applied to the window motor causing that window to open. When the individual window switch is activated to the UP position, battery positive voltage is applied to the window motor in the opposite direction causing that window to close.
The driver's window switch has an express-down feature that allows the window to be lowered completely without holding the switch. The switch is labeled AUTO. Press the bottom of the switch part way and release it and the driver's window will open a small amount. Press the switch all the way down and release it and the window will go completely down automatically.
To stop the window while it is lowering, press and release the top of the switch.
Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, command the appropriate window UP and Down by pressing the appropriate Window Switch. Observe the operation of the appropriate windows.
• If all power window are inoperative, refer to All Power Windows Inoperative.
• If the front driver door window is inoperative, refer to Driver Power Window Inoperative.
• If the right front or left rear or right rear door window is inoperative, refer to Passenger Power Window Inoperative.
• If both rear door windows are inoperative, refer to Lockout Switch Malfunction.
2. Ignition ON, command the express down function door window by pressing Auto on the Driver Window Switch past the first detent and releasing. The driver's window should roll completely down.
• If the driver's window fails to roll completely down, replace the Driver Window Switch.
Circuit/System Testing
Lockout Switch Malfunction
1. Ignition ON, activate the lockout parameter by pressing the Lockout Switch on the Driver Window Switch. Command each of the rear passenger windows UP and DOWN using the appropriate rear door passenger window switches. Both rear door passenger window switches should be inoperative.
• If both rear passenger windows continue to function, test or replace the Driver Window Switch.
2. Ignition ON, deactivate the lockout parameter my pressing the Lockout Switch on the Driver Window Switch. Command each of the rear passenger windows UP and DOWN using the appropriate rear door passenger window switches. Both rear door passenger windows should function UP and DOWN as commanded.
If both rear windows are inoperative, test or replace the Driver Window Switch.
