2009 Chevrolet Chevy Express G2500, Van Cargo, 4.8 CSECTION Driver Window Malfunction
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver window switch.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal F and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the driver window switch and disconnect the harness connector at the driver window motor.
  5. Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
  6. Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
  7. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal B and control circuit terminal A.
  8. Ignition ON, command the driver door window UP and DOWN using the driver window switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate during either of the commands, test both control circuits for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
  9. If all circuits tests normal, test or replace the driver window motor.
