B1853-11-DRIVER WINDOW CONTROL - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

If either one of the Window Driver circuits are open, the motor will be totally inoperative. To lower the window, voltage is applied to the (Q21) Window Driver (Down) circuit and the (Q11) Window Driver (UP) circuit remains grounded in the module. To drive the window up, the circuits are reversed.

- When Monitored:
Whenever the module is awake.

- Set Condition:
When both Driver Window Driver circuits (Up and Down) are grounded during a window movement command, this code will set.





1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, record and erase the DTCs.
3. Try to operate the Driver Window up and down several times.
4. Wait 30 seconds.
5. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.

Does the scan tool display; B1853-11-DRIVER WINDOW CONTROL - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and correct pin tension.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. WINDOW MOTOR SHORTED




1. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
2. Turn the ignition off.
