Circuit/System Testing

2014 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, 2D Convertible, Standard TransSECTION Circuit/System Testing

Driver Window Switch Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S79D Window Switch-Driver. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10 ohms 
  3. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the S79D Window Switch-Driver
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  4. Test or replace the S79D Window Switch-Driver.

Rear Power Window Inoperative

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate M74 Window Motor-Rear. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10 ohms 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the M74 Window Motor-Rear.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Replace the M74 Window Motor-Rear.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
