Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Inspection Procedure
HINT:
Check which power window cannot be operated, and then proceed with the troubleshooting for the applicable power window as shown in POWER WINDOW TROUBLESHOOTING .
| Position | Go To Step |
|---|---|
| Passenger side | 1 |
| Rear LH | 5 |
| Rear RH | 9 |
| All | 13 |

- • 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.
