Circuit/System Testing

Driver Window Motor Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M74D Window Motor-Driver. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If 10 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

If less than 10 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the B+ circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.

If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance, replace the M74D Window Motor-Driver.

If the test lamp illuminates

5. Test for 5-10 V between the serial data circuit terminal 4 and ground

If less than 5 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the serial data circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance on the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

If greater than 10 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the serial data circuit and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

If between 5-10 V

6. Replace the M74D Window Motor-Driver.

Driver Window Switch Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S79D Window Switch-Driver. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 11 and ground.

If 10 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

If less than 10 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Verify the scan tool Driver Window Main Control Down Switch parameter is Inactive.

If not Inactive

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M74D Window Motor-Driver.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 8 and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance, replace the M74D Window Motor-Driver.

If Inactive

5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 8 and the ground circuit terminal 11.

6. Verify the scan tool Driver Window Main Control Down Switch parameter is Active

If not Active

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M74D Window Motor-Driver, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 8 and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the M74D Window Motor-Driver.

If Active

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

If not Inactive

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M74D Window Motor-Driver.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 9 and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance, replace the M74D Window Motor-Driver.

If Inactive

8. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 9 and the ground circuit terminal 11.

9. Verify the scan tool Driver Window Main Control Up Switch parameter is Active

If not Active

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M74D Window Motor-Driver, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 9 and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the M74D Window Motor-Driver.

If Active

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

If not Inactive
