Power Window Master Switch Input Test (2012 - 2013)

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
 
NOTE:  Before testing, make sure the No. B5 (7.5 A), No. B42 (20 A), No. B43 (20 A), No. B44 (20 A), and No. B45 (20 A) fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box are OK.

1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

2. Disconnect the power window master switch 26P connector .

3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.

  • If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
  • If the terminals are OK, go to step 4.

4. With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:

  • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
  • If all the input tests prove OK; go to step 5.

5. Reconnect the connector to the power window master switch, do the following input tests:

Cavity  Wire  Test condition  Test: Desired result  Possible cause if desired result is not obtained 
15 WHT Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.  
  • Blown No. B42 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
26 GRN N Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.  
  • Blown No. B44 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Faulty power window relay
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
21 PUR Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. B45 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Faulty power window relay
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
20 RED Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. B43 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Faulty power window relay
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
13 BLK In all ignition switch positions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G502)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
16 BLK Window lock switch ON Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G502)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
12 PUR Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Faulty power window master switch
  • A short to ground in the wire
9 BRN Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G502)
  • Faulty power window master switch
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
11 PNK Ignition switch ON (II), and power window master switch moving up or down. Measure the voltage between terminals No. 11 and No. 13: An analog meter should alternate between 0 V and 5 V (a digital voltmeter should read about 2.5 V while the window moves)
  • Faulty driver's power window motor
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
  • A short to ground in the wire
10 RED Ignition switch ON (II), and power window master switch moving up or down. Measure the voltage between terminals No. 10 and No. 13: An analog meter should alternate between 0 V and 5 V (a digital voltmeter should read about
  • Faulty driver's power window motor
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
  • A short to ground in the wire
