Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Rear Passenger Window Switch Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate rear window switch.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 ohm between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate door module.
- Test for B+ voltage between the reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than the specified value, test the reference circuit for a short to ground or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the door module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear window switch.
Window Motor Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate window motor.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the window motor.
- Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Window Motor Fault Status parameter while using the power window switch, the status should read No Fault.
- If the status reads Not Normalized, perform the Window Regulator Motor Programming and Setup . If the window motor cannot be reprogrammed, replace the window motor.
- If the Status reads Motor Fault, Hall Fault, Memory Fault, LIN Fault, Anti-Trap Fault or Thermo Active, replace the power window motor.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the window motor.
