Driver Window Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the DDM.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal D and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, reconnect the harness connector at the DDM.
- Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Driver Window Switch parameters while using the driver power window switch. The reading should change between OFF/UP/DOWN/EXPRESS DOWN.
- If the parameter does not change, replace the DDM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver window motor.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
- Ignition ON, command the driver window UP and DOWN by using the driver window switch. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
- If the test lamp is always OFF during either of the commands, test for a short to ground or open/high resistance on either control circuit. If the circuits test normal, replace the DDM.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test for a short to voltage on either control circuit. If the circuits test normal, replace the DDM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the driver window motor.
Passenger Window Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the FPDM.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal D and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, reconnect the harness connector at the FPDM.
- Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Psgr RF Window Switch parameters while using the passenger power window switch. The reading should change between OFF/UP/DOWN/EXPRESS DOWN.
- If the parameter does not change, replace the FPDM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the passenger window motor.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
- Ignition ON, command the passenger window UP and DOWN by using the passenger window switch. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
- If the test lamp is always OFF during either of the commands, test for a short to ground or open/high resistance on either control circuit. If the circuits test normal, replace the FPDM.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test for a short to voltage on either control circuit. If the circuits test normal, replace the FPDM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the passenger window motor.
Rear Passenger Window Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate rear window switch.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal E and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal A and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Test for more than 10 volts between the power window lockout rear control circuit terminal D and ground with the rear windows enabled on the driver master control.
- If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM
- Connect a test lamp between the power window switch rear down signal circuit terminal B and B+.
- Command the appropriate rear window DOWN with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the DOWN state.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the power window switch rear up signal circuit terminal C and B+.
- Command the appropriate rear window UP with a scan tool, the test lamp should turn ON when commanding the UP state.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, reconnect the appropriate rear window switch and disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate rear window motor.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
- Ignition ON, command the appropriate rear window UP and DOWN by using the appropriate rear window switch. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
- If the test lamp is always OFF during either of the commands, test either control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate rear window switch.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test either control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate rear window switch.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate rear window motor.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
