DTC 17

Component Location:

General Description
Safety power window ECU detects the position of window through the edge of pulse (rise, fall) that is produced by hall sensor 1 and 2.

DTC Description
The safety power window ECU sets DTC DRV SAFETY P.WDW MOTOR HALL SNR2 ERROR if the ECU detects no signal change on hall sensor 2 for 10 pulses of hall sensor 1. (The state of operation : window stops after approx. 5 cm of movement)

DTC Detecting Condition:

Signal Waveform:

Terminal and Connector Inspection
1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Check the following conditions:
1. Check for damaged harness and terminals: contact resistance, oxidation, bent or broken terminals.
2. Check for poor connection between ECM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks and poor terminal to wire connection

NOTE: Using a suitable male pin to ensure that contact in sockets is good. The pin should remain in position when pulled gently.

3. Has a problem been found?

YES - Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure

NO - Go to "Signal Circuit Inspection" procedure

Signal Circuit Inspection

Check Hall Sensor Signal
1. Ignition "ON" and Engine "OFF"
2. Connect scantool and select VEHICLE SCOPEMETER function.
3. Measure waveform between "9" of the front safety power window ECU L/H connector and chassis ground while the power window is moved.

Specification : If hall sensor 2 signal waveform is displayed, it is OK.

4. Is hall sensor 2 signal waveform displayed within specification?

YES - Substitute with a known-good front safety power window ECU L/H and check proper condition. If the problem is corrected, replace front safety power window ECU L/H and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

NO - Go to "Check harness" as below

Check Harness
5. Ignition "OFF"
6. Disconnect front safety power window ECU L/H connector and front safety power window motor L/H connector.
7. Measure resistance between "9" of the front safety power window ECU L/H harness connector and "4" of the front safety power window motor L/H harness connector.

Specification : 0 ohm

8. Is measured resistance within specification?

YES - Substitute with a known-good front safety power window motor ass'y L/H and check proper condition. If the problem is corrected, replace front safety power window motor ass'y L/H and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

NO - Check for an open or a short to battery/ground in hall sensor 2 signal circuit. Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Inspection" procedure.

Verification of Vehicle Repair
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF"
2. Connect scantool and clear DTC.
3. Are any DTCs present?

YES - Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.

NO - System is performing to specification at this time.
