Driver Window Malfunction (RPO AXG)

2006 Pontiac G6 GTP, 2D Coupe, StandardSECTION Driver Window Malfunction (RPO AXG)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the driver window switch.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal B 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 E 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 ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  6. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ fuse is open, replace the driver window motor.
  7. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  8. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  9. Ignition ON, command the driver door window DOWN by using the driver window switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the DOWN state.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
    • If the test lamp continuously illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
  10. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
  11. Command the driver door window UP by using the driver window switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UP state.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
    • If the test lamp continuously illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
  12. If all circuits tests normal, test or replace the driver window motor.

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.
