  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate front window motor.
  2. Test for less than 1.0 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 circuits test normal, replace the door module.
  3. Test for less than 1.0 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 circuits test normal, replace the door module.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and the control circuit terminal B.
  5. Ignition ON, command the window UP and DOWN by using the window switch. The test lamp should illuminate 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. If the circuits test normal, replace the door module.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the front window motor.
