If voltage is 10 volts or less, go to step 3).
  2. Check Left Rear Window Switch Ground Circuits  - Turn ignition off. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between ground and left rear window switch connector C702 Gray/Orange wire terminal. Check resistance between ground and left rear window switch connector C702 Yellow/Light Blue wire terminal. If resistances are less than 5 ohms, go to step 6). If resistances are 5 ohms or more, go to step 4).
  3. Check Driver Door Master Window/Door Lock Control Switch  - Remove and disconnect driver door master window/door lock control switch connector C515. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between driver door master window/door lock control switch terminals No. 19 and 20. See Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair open in Red/Light Blue wire. Clear DTCs and retest system operation. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, replace driver door master window/door lock control switch. Clear DTCs and retest system operation.
  4. Check Yellow/Light Blue Wire For Open  - Remove and disconnect driver door master window/door lock control switch connector C515. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance in Yellow/Light Blue wire between driver door master window/door lock control switch connector C515 and left rear window switch connector C702. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Yellow/Light Blue wire. Clear DTCs and retest system operation.
  5. Check Gray/Orange Wire For Open  - Using an ohmmeter, check resistance in Gray/Orange wire between driver door master window/door lock control switch connector C515 and left rear window switch connector C702. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace driver door master window/door lock control switch. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Gray/Orange wire. Clear DTCs and retest system operation.
  6. Check Left Rear Window Switch Down Operation  - Connect jumper wire between left rear window switch connector C702 Gray/Orange and Yellow/Black wire terminals. Connect another jumper wire between left rear window switch connector C702 Yellow/Light Blue and Red/Light Blue wire terminals. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. If left rear window operates in DOWN direction, replace inoperative window switch. Clear DTCs and retest system operation. If left rear window does not operate in DOWN direction, remove jumper wires and go to next step.
  7. Check Left Rear Window Switch Up Operation  - Turn ignition off. Connect jumper wire between left rear window switch connector C702 Yellow/Light Blue wire terminals. Connect another jumper wire between left rear window switch connector C702 Red/Light Blue and Yellow/Black wire terminals. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. If left rear window operates in UP direction, replace inoperative window switch. Clear DTCs and retest system operation. If left rear window does not operate in UP direction, remove jumper wires and go to next step.
  8. Check Yellow/Black Wire For Open  - Turn ignition off. Disconnect left rear power window motor connector C701. See POWER WINDOW MOTOR R & I  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance in Yellow/Black wire between left rear window switch connector C702 and left rear power window motor connector C701. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Yellow/Black wire. Clear DTCs and retest system operation.
  9. Check Yellow/Light Blue Wire For Open  - Using an ohmmeter, check resistance in Yellow/Light Blue wire between left rear window switch connector C702 and left rear power window motor connector C701. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace left rear power window motor. Clear DTCs and retest system operation. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Yellow/Light Blue wire. Clear DTCs and retest system operation.
