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:

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

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
2*1 YEL*GRN Connect terminals No. 2 and No. 4, and terminals No. 1 and No. 3 with jumper wires. Check driver's power window motor operation: The driver's power window should close.
  • Faulty driver's power window motor
  • Poor ground (G401)
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Connect terminals No. 1 and No. 4, and terminals No. 2 and No. 3 with jumper wires. Check driver's power window motor operation: The driver's power window should open.
13 TAN Disconnect driver's power window motor 6P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 13 and driver's power window motor 6P connector terminal No. 6: 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

*: 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 control unit/motor 14P connector*
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 control unit/motor 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

*: With moonroof

Reconnect the connector, 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
4 WHT Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. An open or high resistance in the wire
26 WHT Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. An open or high resistance in the wire
25 LT GRN Vehicle ON mode Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. 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, disconnect the driver's power window motor 6P connector 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
17 BRN Vehicle ON mode, and driver's power window moving up or down Measure the voltage between terminals No. 17 and No. 31: 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
19 RED Vehicle ON mode, and driver's power window moving up or down Measure the voltage between terminals No. 19 and No. 31: 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
