Power Mirrors (Power Window Master Switch) Input Test

NOTE: 

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2. Disconnect the power window master switch 37P connector.

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

Reconnect the connector to the control unit, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
25 LT GRN Vehicle ON mode Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. An open or high resistance in the wire
5* 1 LT BLU Vehicle ON mode Connect terminals No. 5 and No. 25, and power mirror switch 13P connector terminals No. 9 and No. 13 with jumper wires: The left power mirror should UP.
  • Faulty left power mirror actuator
  • Faulty power mirror switch
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
3 BLK In all power modes Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G401)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
31 BLK In all power modes Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G401)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire

*1: Without DPMS

*2: With retractable mirror

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
11* 2 BRN Vehicle ON mode, power mirror switch in EXTEND position Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Faulty power mirror switch
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Vehicle ON mode, power mirror switch in RETRACT position Measure the voltage to ground: There should be about 12 V.
  • Faulty power mirror switch
  • A short to ground in the wire

*1: Without DPMS

*2: With retractable mirror

5. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. Disconnect the connector from the power window master switch, and do the following input tests:

NOTE:  After replacing the power window master switch, do the resetting the power window control unit .

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
8* 1*9* 1 WHT*GRN Vehicle ON mode, connect terminals No. 25 to No. 8 (or No. 9) and terminal No. 9 (or No. 8) to body ground with a jumper wires

NOTE:  if the mirror stops moving, disconnect battery power immediately.

Check the retract actuator operation: The left mirror should retract (or extend).
  • Faulty left retract actuator
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
6* 2 BLU Power mirror switch in RIGHT mirror position Check for continuity to ground: There should be continuity.
  • Faulty power mirror switch
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
7* 2 TAN Power mirror switch in RIGHT mirror position Check for continuity to ground: There should be continuity.
  • Faulty power mirror switch
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
15* 3 TAN Vehicle ON mode, connect terminals No. 25 and No. 15 with a jumper wire Check the left power mirror defogger operation: The left power mirror defogger should work (the inside lower edge becomes warm).
  • Faulty left power mirror defogger
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire

*1: With retractable mirror

*2: Without DPMS

*3: With mirror defogger

*4: With moonroof

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
36 GRY Disconnect these connectors:
  • Front passenger's power window switch 24P connector
  • Moonroof motor-control unit 14P connector* 4
Check for continuity between terminal No. 36 and front passenger's power window switch 24P connector terminal No. 24: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
Check for continuity between terminal No. 36 and moonroof motor-control unit 14P connector terminal No. 12: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
Check for continuity to ground: There should be no continuity. A short to ground in the wire

*1: With retractable mirror

*2: Without DPMS

*3: With mirror defogger

*4: With moonroof
