Pinpoint Test F: The Short Drop Windows Do Not Operate Correctly

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 100, Power Windows for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The short drop window feature is activated when one (or both) of the doors are opened, which opens a door ajar switch. When the driver door is opened (opening the driver door ajar switch), a signal on circuit 1312 (LG/BK) is interpreted by the driver window motor that the driver door is open. The driver window motor then carries out the short drop function on the driver window. When the passenger door is opened (opening the passenger door ajar switch), a signal on circuit 1314 (YE/LG) is interpreted by the passenger window motor that the passenger door is open. The passenger window motor then carries out the short drop function on the passenger window. This feature is on both the coupe and the convertible.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Driver window motor
- Passenger window motor
- Door ajar switch
- Window motor not initialized


PINPOINT TEST F: THE SHORT DROP WINDOWS DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

-------------------------------------------------
F1 VERIFY THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH OPERATION


- Open and close the driver door and view the interior lamps operation.
- Open and close the passenger door and view the interior lamps operation.
- Do the interior lamps operate correctly?

GO to F2.

No
REFER to Courtesy Lamp to continue the diagnosis of the interior lamps. Testing and Inspection

-------------------------------------------------
F2 CARRY OUT THE SHORT DROP CALIBRATION


- Ignition ON.

-------------------------------------------------
F3 CHECK CIRCUIT 1312 (LG/BK) FOR AN OPEN


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Driver Door Ajar Switch C526.
- Disconnect: Driver Window Motor C518.
- Measure the resistance between driver window motor C518-5, circuit 1312 (LG/BK), harness side and driver door ajar switch C526-2, circuit 1312 (LG/BK), harness side.




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
INSTALL a new driver window motor. REFER to Window Regulator and Motor - Front Door Window Regulator and Motor - Front Door. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
F4 CHECK CIRCUIT 1314 (YE/LG) FOR AN OPEN


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Passenger Door Ajar Switch C602.
- Disconnect: Passenger Window Motor C623.
- Measure the resistance between passenger window motor C623-5, circuit 1314 (YE/LG), harness side and passenger door ajar switch C602-2, circuit 1314 (YE/LG), harness side.




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
INSTALL a new passenger window motor. REFER to Window Regulator and Motor - Front Door Window Regulator and Motor - Front Door. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
