Power Window Master Switch Input Test

NOTE: Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control unit first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), then open and close the driver's door.
  2. Remove the power window master switch.
  3. Disconnect the 37P Connector (A) from the door power window master switch (B).
    NOTE: The illustration shows 4-door model.

  4. Inspect the Connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 4.
  5. Reconnect the Connector to the power window master switch, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and do the following input tests:
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6.

      There should be continuity.
      An open in the UART wire
      Check for continuity between terminal No. 27 and moonroof control unit/motor 14P Connector terminal No. 11:
      There should be continuity.
      An open in the UART wire
