Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors the window UP/DOWN command from the driver door switch (DDS). When the rear window UP or DOWN command is received, the BCM sends a signal to the appropriate rear window switch. The rear window switches continuously monitor the up and down signal circuits, if no function is being commanded, the signal voltage is at approximately B+ voltage. If the UP or DOWN function is commanded, the BCM signal voltage drops approximately 5 volts and the appropriate rear window switch will then command the window in the UP or DOWN direction.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3819 00

The BCM detects a fault in the left rear window up circuit.

B3820 00

The BCM detects a fault in the left rear window down circuit.

B3822 00

The BCM detects a fault in the right rear window up circuit.

B3823 00

The BCM detects a fault in the right rear window down circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The left or right rear power window will be inoperative from the driver master control.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.
* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Command the appropriate rear door window UP and DOWN with a scan tool. The rear door window should perform the UP and DOWN function.

If the LR or RR window sets B3819 00 or B3822 00 during the UP command, refer to B3819 00 or B3822 00
If the LR or RR window sets B3820 00 or B3823 00 during the DOWN command, refer to B3820 00 or B3823 00

Circuit/System Testing

B3819 00 or B3822 00
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate rear window switch.
2. Test for more than 10 volts between the power window switch rear up signal circuit terminal B and ground while commanding the rear window UP with a scan tool.

• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

3. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear window switch.

B3820 00 or B3823 00
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate rear window switch.
2. Test for more than 10 volts between the power window switch rear down signal circuit terminal C and ground while commanding the rear window DOWN with a scan tool.

• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

3. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear window switch.
