1. Driver Window Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The driver side window consists of a driver window switch and a window motor capable of express up and express down functions. When the driver window switch is pressed or pulled, the voltage within the appropriate signal circuit drops and the window motor will then perform the commanded function.

Diagnostic Aids

Failure of a window not completely closing or a window auto reversing when completely closed may have been caused by the following conditions:

•	When the window glass has been replaced

•	When the door has been replaced

•	When the window regulator has been replaced

A relearn procedure may be necessary to correct for the above malfunctions. Refer to Window Regulator Motor Programming and Setup .

Circuit/System Verification

1.	Ignition ON, command the M74D window motor-driver UP, DOWN, express UP and express DOWN with a scan tool. The M74D window motor-driver should perform the UP, DOWN, express UP and express DOWN commands.

2.	If the M74D window motor-driver does perform as specified, refer to Driver Window Motor Malfunction.

3.	Command the M74D window motor-driver UP, DOWN, express UP and express DOWN by using the S79D window switch-driver. The M74D window motor-driver should perform the UP, DOWN, express UP and express DOWN commands.

4.	If the M74d window motor-driver does perform as specified, refer to Driver Window Switch Malfunction.

Circuit/System Testing

Driver Window Motor Malfunction

1.	Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M74D window motor-driver.

2.	Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.

3.	If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

4.	Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.

5.	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

6.	If all circuits test normal, test or replace the M74D window motor-driver.

Driver Power Window Switch Malfunction

1.	Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S79D window switch-driver.

2.	Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.

3.	If the value is greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for and open circuit/high resistance.

4.	Ignition ON, verify that the scan tool Driver Window Main Control Down Switch parameter is Inactive.

5.	If not the specifed value, test the control circuit terminal 3 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the M74D window motor-driver.

6.	Connect a 5A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground, verify that the scan tool Driver Window Main Control Down Switch parameter is Active.

7.	If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the M74D window motor-driver.

8.	Verify that the scan tool Driver Window Main Control Up Switch parameter is Inactive.

9.	If not the specifed value, test the control circuit terminal 6 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the M74D window motor-driver.

10.	Connect a 5A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 6 and ground, verify that the scan tool Driver Window Main Control Up Switch parameter is Active.

11.	If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the M74D window motor-driver.

12.	Verify that the scan tool Driver Window Main Control Express Switch parameter is Inactive.

13.	If not the specifed value, test the control circuit terminal 2 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the M74D window motor-driver.

14.	Connect a 5A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground, verify that the scan tool Driver Window Main Control Express Switch parameter is Active.

15.	If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the M74D window motor-driver.

16.	If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S79D window switch-driver.
