- Trouble shooting of a power window system complaint begins with verification of the customer problem. If problem occurs, go to step 3. If problem does not occur, go to next step.
- If problem does not occur, review conditions under which problem occurred for customer and try to duplicate those conditions. For example, if the problem occurs on rainy days or during high humidity conditions, sprinkle water onto vehicle and see if malfunction occurs. DO NOT sprinkle water directly into engine compartment or onto electronic components. Visually inspect for signs of mechanical and electrical damage. Inspect for blown fuses and damaged relays. Inspect for loose or corroded connections, damaged wiring harnesses and/or switches. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. Ensure any aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. If fault is found, repair as necessary.
- Inspect the multiplex communication system and confirm that there is no trouble by the basic inspection and DTC check. See PRE-CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC under MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM article under COMMUNICATION DEVICES in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
- After repairs have been completed, confirm that problem has been eliminated. Operate the system under same conditions recorded for original complaint. If problem is no longer present, repair has corrected problem. If problem is still present, further diagnosis and repair is required.
