POWER MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
Driver and passenger side power operated outside
rear view mirrors are standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. The power mirror system
allows the driver to adjust both outside mirrors elec-
trically from the driver seat position by operating a
switch on the driver side front door trim panel. The
power mirror system receives non-switched battery
current through a fuse in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) so that the power mirrors remain oper-
ational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The standard equipment power operated outside
rear view mirrors are also equipped with the heated
mirror system, which will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the On position and the rear
window defogger switch is turned on. When the rear
window defogger switch is in the On position, electric
heater grids on the rear window glass and behind
both outside rear view mirror glasses are energized.
These electric heater grids produce heat to help clear
the rear window glass and outside rear view mirrors
of ice, snow, or fog. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED MIRRORS - DESCRIPTION) for more
information on this feature.
A driver side automatic dimming outside mirror
that dims the mirror to reduce the glare of bright
lights approaching the vehicle from behind, and a
memory system that automatically positions the
power mirrors for two different drivers are optionalfactory-installed equipment on this model. (Refer to 8

DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIPTION) for more
information. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
SEATS - DESCRIPTION) for more information.
This group covers the following components of the
power mirror system:
²Power mirrors
²Power mirror switch.
Certain functions and features of the power mirror
system rely upon resources shared with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sen-
sor information. This helps to reduce wire harness
complexity, internal controller hardware, and compo-
nent sensor current loads. At the same time, this sys-
tem provides increased reliability, enhanced
diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new fea-
ture capabilities. For diagnosis of these electronic
modules or of the PCI data bus network, the use of a
DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures
manual are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect power
mirror system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)(Refer to 8 -

DESCRIPTION - OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
An automatic dimming outside rear view mirror is
an available factory-installed option for the driver
side of the vehicle, if the vehicle is also equipped
with the automatic day/night inside rear view mirror.
The automatic dimming outside mirror is completely
controlled by the circuitry of the automatic day/night
inside rear view mirror. The automatic dimming out-
side mirror will automatically change the reflectance
of the driver side outside rear view mirror to protect
the driver from the unwanted headlight glare of
trailing vehicles while driving at night. The auto-
matic dimming outside mirror will only operate when
the ignition switch is in the On position.
The automatic dimming outside mirror sensitivity
cannot be repaired or adjusted. If any component of
this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire automatic
dimming outside mirror unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW
MIRROR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
OPERATION - REAR VIEW MIRROR
The automatic day/night mirror switch allows the
driver a manual control of whether the automatic
dimming feature is operational. This switch is a
momentary rocker-type switch located on the lower
rear-facing surface of the mirror housing. When Auto
is selected, a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) on the mir-
ror housing just to the right of the switch illuminates
to indicate that automatic day/night mirror is turned
on. When Off is selected, the LED is turned off. The
mirror also senses the backup lamp circuit, and will
automatically disable its self-dimming feature when-
ever the transmission gear selector is in the Reverse
position.
A thin layer of electrochromatic material between
two pieces of conductive glass make up the face of
the mirror. Two photocell sensors are used to monitor
light levels and adjust the reflectance of the mirror.
The ambient photocell sensor faces forward, to detect
the outside light levels. The headlamp sensor is
located on the mirror housing just to the left of the
switch and facing rearward, to detect the light level
received at the rear window side of the mirror. When
the difference between the two light levels becomes
too great (the light level received at the rear of themirror is much higher than that at the front of the
mirror), the mirror begins to darken.
On models with an optional driver side automatic
dimming outside mirror, the signal to control the
dimming of that mirror is generated by the auto-
matic day/night inside rear view mirror circuitry.
That signal is then delivered to the driver side out-
side rear view mirror on a hard wired circuit.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the automatic day/night mirror system.
OPERATION - OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
The automatic dimming outside mirror is operated
by the same controls and circuitry as the automatic
day/night mirror. When the automatic day/night mir-
ror is turned on or off, the automatic dimming out-
side mirror is likewise turned on or off. Like in the
automatic day/night mirror, a thin layer of electro-
chromatic material between two pieces of conductive
glass make up the face of the automatic dimming
outside mirror. However, the signal to control the
dimming of the outside mirror is generated by the
automatic day/night inside rear view mirror circuitry.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the automatic dimming outside mirror.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC DAY /
NIGHT MIRROR
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.
(1) Check the fused ignition switch output (run/
start) fuse in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 2.
If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) fuse in the junction block. If OK,
go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (run/start) circuit to the ignition switch
as required.
(3) Disconnect the overhead wire harness connec-
tor from the automatic day/night mirror connector
receptacle. Check for battery voltage at the fused
ignition switch output (run/start) circuit cavity of the
overhead wire harness connector for the automatic
day/night mirror. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
repair the open fused ignition switch output (run/
start) circuit to the fuse in the junction block as
required.

POWER MIRROR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Both the right and left power outside mirrors are
controlled by a single multi-function switch unit
located on the driver side front door trim panel. The
power mirror switch unit includes a three-position
rocker selector switch and four momentary direc-
tional push button switches.
The power mirror switch unit is integral to the
Driver Door Module (DDM). The power mirror switch
cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if faulty or dam-
aged, the entire DDM unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - REMOVAL)
for the DDM service procedures.
OPERATION
The power mirror selector switch is moved right
(right mirror control), left (left mirror control), or
center to turn the power outside mirror system off.
When the selector switch is in the right mirror con-
trol or left mirror control position, one of the four
directional control buttons is depressed to control
movement of the selected mirror up, down, right, or
left. When the selector switch is in the Off position,
depressing any of the directional switches will not
change either mirror position.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power mirror switches.
SIDEVIEW MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
Mechanically folding, power operated outside rear
view mirrors are standard equipment on this model.
Each power mirror housing contains two electric
motors, two drive mechanisms, an electric heating
grid, the mirror glass case and the mirror glass. One
motor and drive controls mirror up-and-down (verti-
cal) movement, and the other controls right-and-left
(horizontal) movement. If the vehicle is equipped
with the optional memory system, each mirror head
also contains two position potentiometers. One posi-
tion potentiometer monitors the vertical mirror
motor, and the other monitors the horizontal mirror
motor.
An optional driver side automatic dimming mirror
is able to automatically change its reflectance level.
This mirror is controlled by the circuitry of the auto-
matic day/night inside rear view mirror. A thin layer
of electrochromic material between two pieces of con-
ductive glass make up the face of the mirror. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/AUTO-MATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIPTION) for
more information on this feature.
The power mirror unit cannot be repaired. Only
the mirror glass and glass case are serviced sepa-
rately. The replacement mirror glass is supplied with
an instruction sheet that details the recommended
replacement procedure. If any other component of the
power mirror unit is faulty or damaged, the entire
power mirror unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
Each of the two outside power mirrors includes two
reversible electric motors that are secured within the
power mirror housing. Each motor moves the mirror
case and glass through an integral drive unit. When
a power mirror motor is supplied with battery cur-
rent and ground, it moves the mirror case and glass
through its drive unit in one direction. When the bat-
tery current and ground feeds to the motor are
reversed, it moves the mirror case and glass in the
opposite direction.
The power mirrors are equipped with a standard
equipment electric heating grid that is applied to the
back of each outside rear view mirror glass. When an
electrical current is passed through the resistor wire
of the heating grid, it warms the mirror glass. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED MIRRORS -
DESCRIPTION) for more information on the opera-
tion of the heated mirrors and the rear window
defogger system.
If the driver side mirror is equipped with the auto-
matic dimming outside mirror option, two photocell
sensors on the inside rear view mirror are used to
monitor light levels and adjust the reflectance of both
the inside and driver side outside mirrors. This
change in reflectance helps to reduce the glare of
headlamps approaching the vehicle from the rear.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/AU-
TOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - OPERATION)
for more information on this feature.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional mem-
ory system, the Driver Door Module (DDM) and the
Passenger Door Module (PDM) store the mirror posi-
tion information as monitored through the mirror
motor position potentiometers. When the memory
system requests a recall of the stored mirror position,
the DDM and the PDM are able to duplicate the
stored mirror positions by moving the mirror motors
until the potentiometer readings match the stored
values.

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
Power operated driver side and passenger side
front and rear door windows are standard factory-in-
stalled equipment on this model. The power window
system allows each of the door windows to be raised
or lowered electrically by operating a switch on the
trim panel for that door. Additionally, the master
switches on the driver side front door trim panel
allow all of the windows to be operated from the
driver seat position. A power window lockout switch
on the driver side front door trim panel will allow the
driver to disable all of the passenger door window
switches.
The power window system functionally operates
when the ignition switch is in the On position. How-
ever, a unique feature of this system will allow the
power windows to be operated for up to forty-five sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position, or until a front door is opened, whichever
occurs first.
An auto-down feature allows the driver side front
door window to be lowered all the way, even if the
window switch is released. The driver side front door
window switch must be depressed in the down direc-
tion to a second detent to begin an auto-down event.
Depressing the switch again in any direction cancel
the auto-down event and begin movement in the
direction specified.
This group covers the following components of the
power window system:
²Power window switches
²Power window motors.
Certain functions and features of the power win-
dow system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Program-mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. The PCI data bus network allows the sharing
of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire har-
ness complexity, internal controller hardware, and
component sensor current loads. At the same time,
this system provides increased reliability, enhanced
diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new fea-
ture capabilities. For diagnosis of these electronic
modules or of the PCI data bus network, the use of a
DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures
manual are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect power
window system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL
- DESCRIPTION) for more information.
²Driver Door Module (DDM)-(Refer to 8 -

This group covers diagnosis and service of only the
electrical components in the power window system.
For service of mechanical components, such as the
regulator, lift plate, window tracks, or glass refer to
Body. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, details
of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-
out information and location views for the various
wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. Follow-
ing are general descriptions of the major components
in the power window system.
WJPOWER WINDOWS 8N - 33

OPERATION
The power window system includes the Driver
Door Module (DDM) and Passenger Door Module
(PDM), which are mounted in their respective front
door, the rear door power window switches mounted
on the rear doors, and the power window motors
mounted to the window regulator in each door. The
DDM houses four master power window switches, the
power window lockout switch and the control logic for
the driver side front and rear door power windows.
The PDM houses the passenger side front door power
window switch and the control logic for the passenger
side front and rear door power windows.
When a master power window switch on the DDM
is used to operate a passenger side power window,
the DDM sends the window switch actuation mes-
sage to the PDM over the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus. The PDM responds
to these messages by sending control outputs to move
the passenger side power window motors. In addi-
tion, when the power window lockout switch in the
DDM is actuated to disable power window operation,
a lockout message is sent to the PDM over the PCI
data bus.
The Body Control Module (BCM) also supports and
controls certain features of the power window sys-
tem. The BCM receives a hard wired input from the
ignition switch. The programming in the BCM allows
it to process the information from this input and
send ignition switch status messages to the DDM
and the PDM over the PCI data bus. The DDM and
PDM use this information and hard wired inputs
from the front door ajar switches to control the light-
ing of the power window switch lamps, and to control
the operation of the power window after ignition-off
feature.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power window system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER
WINDOWS
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power
window system. However, these tests may not prove
conclusive in the diagnosis of this system. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the power window sys-
tem, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the power window system components must be
checked.The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power window system requires the use
of a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRB scan tool can provide confir-
mation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all
of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the PCI data bus, and that
the power window motors are being sent the proper
hard wired outputs by the door modules for them to
perform their power window system functions.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.
ALL WINDOWS INOPERATIVE
(1) Check the operation of the power lock switch
on the driver side front door. If all of the doors lock
and unlock, but none of the power windows operate,
use a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Pro-
cedures manual to check the Body Control Module
(BCM), the Driver Door Module (DDM) and the PCI
data bus for proper operation. If not OK, go to Step
2.
(2) Check the operation of the power lock switch
on the passenger side front door. If the passenger
doors lock and unlock, but the driver side front door
does not, go to Step 5. If all of the power locks and
power windows are inoperative from both front doors,
go to Step 3.
(3) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC). If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
repair the shorted circuit or component as required
and replace the faulty fuse.
(4) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the PDC. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit to the battery as required.
(5) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the trim panel from the driver side
front door. Disconnect the 15-way door wire harness
connector from the DDM connector receptacle. Check
for continuity between the ground circuit cavity of
the 15-way door wire harness connector for the DDM
and a good ground. There should be continuity. If
OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open ground
circuit to ground as required.
(6) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
15-way door wire harness connector for the DDM. If
OK, replace the faulty DDM. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit to the fuse in the PDC as
required.

POWER WINDOWS (Continued)

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS
INOPERATIVE
If the driver side front and rear power windows
operate, but the passenger side front and rear do not,
use a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Pro-
cedures manual to check the PCI data bus for proper
operation.
ONE WINDOW INOPERATIVE
The window glass and regulator mechanism must
be free to slide up and down for the power window
motor to function properly. If the window glass and
regulator is not free to move up and down, the motor
will overload and trip the integral circuit breaker. To
determine if the window glass and regulator are free,
disconnect the regulator plate from the glass. Then
slide the window up and down by hand.
There is an alternate method to check if the win-
dow glass and regulator mechanism is free. Position
the glass between the up and down stops. Then,
shake the glass in the door. Check that the glass can
be moved slightly from side to side, front to rear, and
up and down. Then check that the glass is not bound
tight in the tracks.
If the window glass and regulator mechanism is
free, refer toDoor Modulein Electrical, Power Win-
dows. If the glass is not free, inspect the window
glass mounting and operating hardware for damage
or improperly installed components. Refer toBodyto
check for proper installation or damage of the win-
dow glass mounting and operating hardware.
DOOR MODULE
NOTE: The following tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this component. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
this component requires the use of a DRB scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual.
If the problem being diagnosed is a rear door win-
dow that does not operate from the rear door switch,
but does operate from the master switch on the
driver side front door, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER WINDOWS/POWER WINDOW SWITCH -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the problem is a
passenger side front or rear window that operates
from the switch on that door, but does not operate
from the master switch on the driver side front door,
use a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Pro-
cedures manual to diagnose the circuitry of both door
modules and the PCI data bus. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the trim panel from the front door, but
do not disconnect the door wire harness connectors
from the door module. Go to Step 2.
(2) Check the 15-way door wire harness connector
for the door module to see that it is fully seated in
the door module connector receptacle. If OK, go to
Step 3. If not OK, properly connect the 15-way door
wire harness connector for the door module to the
door module connector receptacle.
(3) Disconnect the 15-way door wire harness con-
nector from the door module connector receptacle.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the 15-way door wire harness connector for the
door module and a good ground. There should be con-
tinuity. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit to ground as required.
(4) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
15-way door wire harness connector for the door
module. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit to the fuse in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) as required.
(5) If the inoperative window is on a front door, go
to Step 6. If the inoperative window is on a rear door
go to Step 9.
(6) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the door wire harness connector
from the inoperative power window motor wire har-
ness connector. Check for continuity between the
front window driver up circuit cavity of the 15-way
door wire harness connector for the door module and
a good ground. Repeat the check for the front window
driver down circuit. In each case there should be no
continuity. If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, repair the
shorted front window driver up or down circuit as
required.
(7) Check for continuity between the front window
driver up circuit cavities of the 15-way door wire har-
ness connector for the door module and the door wire
harness connector for the power window motor.
Repeat the check for the front window driver down
circuit. In each case there should be continuity. If
OK, go to Step 8. If not OK, repair the open front
window driver up or down circuit as required.
(8) Reconnect the 15-way door wire harness con-
nector back into the door module connector recepta-
cle. Connect the battery negative cable. Connect the
probes of a reversible DC digital voltmeter to the
door wire harness connector for the power window

Step 12. If not OK, repair the open rear window
driver up or down circuit as required.
NOTE: The door module feeds battery current to
both terminals of the rear door power window
motors when the power window lockout switch is in
the Unlock position, until the master window switch
on the driver side front door is actuated. The door
module feeds ground to both terminals of the rear
door power window motor when the power window
lockout switch is in the Lock position, until the
master window switch on the driver side front door
is actuated.
(12) Reconnect the 15-way door wire harness con-
nector for the door module to the door module con-
nector receptacle. Connect the battery negative cable.
Check for battery voltage at each cavity in the door
wire harness connector for the power window motor.
Each cavity should have battery voltage when the
power window switch is in the neutral position. Each
cavity should also have battery voltage in one other
switch position, either up or down, and zero volts
with the switch in the opposite position. If OK, (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS/WINDOW
MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If not OK,
replace the faulty door module.POWER WINDOW SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power window motors are controlled by a two-
way momentary switch mounted on the trim panel of
each passenger door, and four two-way momentary
switches on the driver side front door trim panel. The
driver side front door trim panel also has a two-posi-
tion power window lockout switch. Each power win-
dow switch, except the lockout switch, is illuminated
by a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) that is integral to
the switch paddle.
The front door power window switches and the
power window lockout switch are integral to the
Driver Door Module (DDM) and Passenger Door
Module (PDM). The front door power window
switches and their lamps cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire DDM
or PDM unit must be replaced. The rear door power
window switches and their lamps cannot be adjusted
or repaired but, if faulty or damaged, only the
affected rear door power window switch must be
replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL MODULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE -
REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The front door power window switches provide an
up or down (or lock and unlock signal in the case of
the lockout switch) to the door module circuitry. The
Driver Door Module (DDM) circuitry controls the out-
put to the driver side front and rear door power win-
dow motors, and supplies electrical current as
required for the stand-alone operation of the driver
side rear door power window switch. The Passenger
Door Module (PDM) circuitry controls the output to
the passenger side front and rear door power window
motors, and supplies electrical current as required
for the stand-alone operation of the passenger side
rear door power window switch.
When a DDM-integrated master power window
switch for a passenger side window is actuated, or
when the power window lockout switch is actuated to
disable the passenger door power windows, the DDM
circuitry sends a message to the PDM over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
to control the output to that power window motor(s).
The power window switch for the driver side front
door power window has two detent positions in the
Down direction. The first detent provides normal
power window down operation. If this switch is
depressed to the second detent, the Auto Down cir-
cuitry of the DDM is activated. The Auto-Down cir-
cuitry will automatically move the driver side front
door window to its fully lowered position, even if the
power window switch is released. The Auto-Down
8N - 36 POWER WINDOWSWJ
POWER WINDOWS (Continued)

event will be automatically cancelled and the window
movement will be stopped if the DDM circuitry
detects a second input from the driver side front door
power window switch, in either direction.
Each power window switch, except the lockout
switch, is illuminated by a Light-Emitting Diode
(LED) when the ignition switch is turned to the On
position. However, when the lockout switch is placed
in the Lock position, the LED for the locked-out front
and rear passenger door power window switches is

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER WINDOW
SWITCH
The diagnosis found here applies only to the rear
door power window switches. If the problem being
diagnosed is an inoperative power window switch
illumination lamp, but the power window switch
operates as designed, replace the faulty rear door
power window switch(verify the power lockout
switch is not actuated). For complete circuit dia-
grams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, details
of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-
out information and location views for the various
wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the power window switch from the
rear door trim panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER WINDOWS/POWER WINDOW SWITCH -
REMOVAL).
(3) Check the rear door power window switch con-
tinuity as shown in the Rear Door Power Window
Switch Continuity chart (Fig. 1). If OK, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS/WINDOW
MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If not OK,
replace the faulty rear door power window switch.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the trim panel from the rear door.
(Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - REAR/TRIM PANEL -
REMOVAL) for the procedures.
(3) Using a trim stick or another suitable wide
flat-bladed tool, gently pry the sides of the switch
receptacle on the back of the rear door trim panel
away from the perimeter of the power window switch
to release the switch from the receptacle (Fig. 2).

WINDOW MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
Power operated front and rear door windows are
standard equipment on this model. Each door has a
permanent magnet reversible electric motor with an
integral right angle gearbox mechanism that oper-
ates the window regulator. In addition, each power
window motor is equipped with an integral self-reset-
ting circuit breaker to protect the motor from over-
loads.
The power window motor gearbox housing is
secured to the window regulator drum housing with
screws. The window regulators used in all four doors
are single vertical post cable-and-drum type. A
molded plastic slider guided by the post is driven by
the regulator cables. The slider raises and lowers the
window glass through a steel lift plate attachment.
Front and rear glass channels within each door guide
and stabilize each end of the glass.
The power window motor and gearbox assembly
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire power window motor and gearbox unit must be
replaced. The window regulators are available for
service. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WIN-
DOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 -
BODY/DOORS - REAR/WINDOW REGULATOR -
REMOVAL) for the regulator service procedures.
OPERATION
A positive and negative battery connection to the
two motor terminals will cause the power window
motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing the cur-
rent through these same two connections will cause
the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
When the power window motor operates, it rotates
the regulator cable drum through its gearbox. The
window regulator cable drum is connected through
two cables to the plastic slider on the vertical post.
As the cable drum rotates, it lets cable out on one
side of the drum, and takes cable in on the other side
of the drum. The changes in cable length move the
slider up or down the vertical post, raising or lower-
ing the window glass.If the window regulator or window glass bind,
encounter obstructions, or reach their travel limits it
overloads the power window motor. The overloading
condition causes the power window motor self-reset-
ting circuit breaker to open, which stops the motor
from running.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WINDOW MOTOR
Before you proceed with this diagnosis, confirm
proper switch operation. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/DRIVER
DOOR MODULE - OPERATION) or (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS/POWER WIN-
DOW SWITCH - OPERATION). For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Remove the trim panel from the door with the
inoperative power window. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
DOOR - FRONT/TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL) or
(Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - REAR/TRIM PANEL -
REMOVAL) for the procedures.
(2) Disconnect the door wire harness connector
from the power window motor wire harness connec-
tor. Apply battery current to one cavity of the power
window motor wire harness connector, and apply
ground to the other cavity of the connector. The
power window motor should operate in one direction.
Remember, if the window is in the full up or full
down position, the motor will not operate in that
direction by design. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
replace the faulty power window motor.
(3) Reverse the battery and ground connections to
the two cavities of the power window motor wire har-
ness connector. The power window motor should now
operate in the other direction. Remember, if the win-
dow is in the full up or full down position, the motor
will not operate in that direction by design. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, replace the faulty power window
motor.
(4) If the power window motor operates in both
directions, check the operation of the window glass
and regulator mechanism through its complete up
and down travel. There should be no binding or stick-
ing of the window glass or regulator mechanism
through the entire travel range. If not OK, (Refer to
23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WINDOW REGULATOR
- REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS -
REAR/WINDOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL) to
check for proper installation or damage of the win-
dow glass mounting and operating hardware.
