Signal Too Low or Signal Missing






Signal too low or signal missing

Checking for permanent or intermittent faults




- Ignition on.
Press the switch for the power window to check the function of the power window mechanism.

Is the power window control operating correctly?

Yes - Intermittent fault

No - Checking the connectors

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the connectors




- Ignition off.
Check that the fuses are intact.
Check the control module and power window lift motor connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.

- Driver's door module / passenger door module (DDM/PDM), replacing Driver's Door Module/Passenger Door Module (DDM/PDM), Replacing
- Window lift mechanism front side door, replacing Window Lift Mechanism Front Side Door, Replacing
- Checking the power supply and ground terminals Checking the Voltage/Ground Terminal, Driver Door Module (DDM)/ Passenger Door Module (PDM)
- Checking wiring and terminals Checking Wiring And Terminals


Continue - Checking the cable

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the cable
Check the cable between control module connector terminal #B4 and power window lift motor connector terminal #3. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Check the cable between control module connector terminal #B3 and power window lift motor connector terminal #6. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.

Was the cable OK?

Yes - Replacing the component

No - Verification

-------------------------------------------------

Replacing the component




Replace the window lift mechanism.
- Ignition on.
Move the window to its upper limit position using manual control.
Initialize the window.
During initialization, the window will automatically go down to its lowest position and then go back up again.

Hint: After the repair it is necessary to check that the fault has been rectified.








- Ignition off.
- Connect the connectors, install the components, etc.
- Ignition on.
Check that window operates by raising/lowering window to its end stops.

Does window operate?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILED

VERIFIED - Fault Found

VERIFICATION FAILED - Fault-tracing information

-------------------------------------------------

Intermittent fault
Check the connectors for the control module and power window lift motor. Check for contact resistance and oxidation. Check for loose connections.
Check the cable between control module connector terminal #B4 and power window lift motor connector terminal #3. Check for an intermittent open-circuit.
Check the cable between the control module connector terminal #3B and the power window lift motor connector terminal #6. Check for an intermittent open-circuit.

Continue - Fault-tracing information

-------------------------------------------------

Fault-tracing information




Information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - FAULT-TRACING FAILED

No - Attempt New Test

------------------------

FAULT-TRACING FAILED - No Fault Found

Attempt New Test - Checking for permanent or intermittent faults

-------------------------------------------------

Fault-tracing information




Information

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Do you want to view the information again?

Yes - Attempt New Test

No - Fault Found

------------------------

FAULT FOUND - Fault Found

Attempt New Test - Checking for permanent or intermittent faults
