Inspection and Verification

1. 1.
   
   Verify the customer concern by operating the power window system.

1. 2.
   
   Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage. Refer to the following chart:

Visual Inspection Chart 

1. 3.
   
   If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.

1. 4.
   
   
   NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

   If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).

1. 5.
   
   
   NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove out confirms power and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM.

   If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM :

   • check the VCM connection to the vehicle.
   • check the scan tool connection to the VCM.
   • refer to Module Communications Network , No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.

1. 6.
   
   If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
   • verify the ignition is in the ON mode.
   • verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
   • refer to Module Communications Network to diagnose no response from the BCM or HVAC module.

1. 7.
   
   Carry out the network test.
   • If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Module Communications Network .
   • If the network test passes, retrieve and record Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs).

1. 8.
   
   Clear the CMDTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the BCM and HVAC module.

1. 9.
   
   If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to BCM DTC Chart or HVAC Module DTC Chart. For all other DTCs, refer to Multifunction Electronic Modules .

1. 10.
   
   If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart .
