3. INSPECT POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH ILLU-
MINATION
(a) Set the window lock switch to the unlock position.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
15 and the negative (±) lead to terminal 16, and check that
all the illuminations light up.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the voltmeter to termi-
nal 15 and negative (±) lead to terminal 2, and check that
the voltage meter needle indicates battery positive volt-
age.
(d) Set the window lock switch to the lock position, check that
all the passenger's power window switch illuminations go
out.
(e) Then, check that the voltage meter needle indicates no
voltage.
If operation is not as specified, replace the master switch.

4. INSPECT ONE TOUCH POWER WINDOW SYSTEM/
CURRENT OF CIRCUIT (Using an ammeter)
(a) Disconnect the connector from the driver door ECU.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the ammeter to termi-
nal 8 on the wire harness side connector and the negative
(±) lead to negative (±) terminal of the battery.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
17 on the wire harness side connector.
(d) As the window goes down, check that the current flow is
approximately 7 A.
(e) Check that the current increases up to approximately
14.5 A or more when the window stops going down.
HINT:
The PTC opens some 4 ± 90 seconds after the window stops
going down, so that check must be made before the PTC oper-
ates.
If the operation is as specified, replace the driver door ECU.
5. INSPECT ONE TOUCH POWER WINDOW SYSTEM/
CURRENT OF CIRCUIT (Using an ammeter with a cur-
rent±measuring probe)
(a) Remove the driver door ECU with connectors connected.
(b) Attach a current±measuring probe to terminal 7 of the
wire harness.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON and set the power window
switch in the down position.
(d) As the window goes down, check that the current flow is
approximately 7 A.
(e) Check that the current increases up to approximately
14.5 A or more when the window stops going down.
HINT:
The PTC opens some 4 ± 90 seconds after the window stops
going down, so that check must be made before the PTC oper-
ates.
If operation is as specified, replace the driver door ECU.
