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
motor. Observe the voltmeter while actuating the
switch for that window in the up and down direc-
tions. There should be battery voltage for as long as
the switch is held in both the up and down positions,

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.

²Passenger Airbag- The passenger airbag is
located on the instrument panel, beneath the instru-
ment panel top pad and above the glove box on the
passenger side of the vehicle.
²Passenger Knee Blocker- The passenger knee
blocker is a structural reinforcement that is integral
to and concealed within the glove box door.
²Side Impact Sensor- Two side impact sensors
are used on vehicles with the optional side curtain
airbags, one left side and one right side. One sensor
is located behind the B-pillar trim near the base of
each B-pillar.
²Side Curtain Airbag- In vehicles equipped
with this option, a side curtain airbag is located on
each inside roof side rail above the headliner, and
extends from the A-pillar to just beyond the C-pillar.
The ACM and the EMIC each contain a central
processing unit and programming that allow them to
communicate with each other using the Programma-
ble Communication Interface (PCI) data bus network.
This method of communication is used by the ACM
for control of the airbag indicator on all models
equipped with dual front airbags. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
COMMUNICATION - DESCRIPTION).
Hard wired circuitry connects the supplemental
restraint system components to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired
circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system,
and to the supplemental restraint system compo-
nents through the use of a combination of soldered
splices, splice block connectors, and many different
types of wire harness terminal connectors and insu-
lators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, further
details on wire harness routing and retention, as well
as pin-out and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
ACTIVE RESTRAINTS
The primary passenger restraints in this or any
other vehicle are the standard equipment factory-in-
stalled seat belts. Seat belts are referred to as an
active restraint because the vehicle occupants are
required to physically fasten and properly adjust
these restraints in order to benefit from them. See
the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of all
of the factory-installed active restraints.PASSIVE RESTRAINTS
The passive restraints system is referred to as a
supplemental restraint system because they were
designed and are intended to enhance the protection
for the vehicle occupants of the vehicleonlywhen
used in conjunction with the seat belts. They are
referred to as passive systems because the vehicle
occupants are not required to do anything to make
them operate; however, the vehicle occupants must
be wearing their seat belts in order to obtain the
maximum safety benefit from the factory-installed
supplemental restraint systems.
The supplemental restraint system electrical cir-
cuits are continuously monitored and controlled by a
microprocessor and software contained within the
Airbag Control Module (ACM). An airbag indicator in
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
illuminates for about seven seconds as a bulb test
each time the ignition switch is turned to the On or
Start positions. Following the bulb test, the airbag
indicator is turned on or off by the ACM to indicate
the status of the supplemental restraint system. If
the airbag indicator comes on at any time other than
during the bulb test, it indicates that there is a prob-
lem in the supplemental restraint system electrical
circuits. Such a problem may cause airbags not to
deploy when required, or to deploy when not
required.
Deployment of the supplemental restraints
depends upon the angle and severity of an impact.
Deployment is not based upon vehicle speed; rather,
deployment is based upon the rate of deceleration as
measured by the forces of gravity (G force) upon the
impact sensors. When an impact is severe enough,
the microprocessor in the ACM signals the inflator
unit of the airbag module to deploy the airbag. Dur-
ing a frontal vehicle impact, the knee blockers work
in concert with properly fastened and adjusted seat
belts to restrain both the driver and the front seat
passenger in the proper position for an airbag deploy-
ment. The knee blockers also absorb and distribute
the crash energy from the driver and the front seat
passenger to the structure of the instrument panel.
Typically, the vehicle occupants recall more about
the events preceding and following a collision than
they have of an airbag deployment itself. This is
because the airbag deployment and deflation occur so
rapidly. In a typical 48 kilometer-per-hour (30 mile-
per-hour) barrier impact, from the moment of impact
until the airbags are fully inflated takes about 40
milliseconds. Within one to two seconds from the
moment of impact, the airbags are almost entirely
deflated. The times cited for these events are approx-
imations, which apply only to a barrier impact at the
given speed. Actual times will vary somewhat,

Hard wired circuitry connects the front wiper and
washer system components to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the front wiper and
washer system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
OPERATING MODES
The components of the front wiper and washer sys-
tem are designed to work in concert to provide the
following operating modes:
²Automatic Wiper- In models equipped with
the optional automatic wiper feature, the internal
circuitry of both the right (wiper) multi-function
switch, the rain sensor module, and the BCM work
in concert to provide an automatic wiper mode with
five sensitivity selections. The BCM tells the Rain
Sensor Module (RSM) when the automatic wiper
mode is selected and the manually selected sensitiv-
ity level, then the rain sensor module tells the BCM
each time enough water droplets have accumulated
within the wipe pattern on the windshield to require
front wiper operation. The BCM then automatically

FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS (Continued)

teen seconds. Below about sixteen kilometers-per-
hour (ten miles-per-hour) the delay times are
doubled, from about one second to about thirty-six
seconds.
AUTOMATIC WIPE MODE
On models equipped with the optional automatic
wiper system, when the control knob on the control
stalk of the right (wiper) multi-function switch is
moved to one of the five Auto sensitivity positions,
the BCM sends an electronic message to the Rain
Sensor Module (RSM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network indi-
cating the selected position. The RSM monitors an
area within the wipe pattern of the windshield glass
for the accumulation of moisture. Based upon inter-
nal programming and the selected sensitivity level,
when sufficient moisture has accumulated the RSM
sends the appropriate electronic wipe command mes-
sages to the BCM over the PCI data bus and the
BCM operates the front wiper system accordingly. As
the sensitivity level is set higher, the RSM is more
sensitive to moisture accumulation and will send
wipe commands more frequently. The BCM logic is
also programmed to provide an immediate wipe cycle
each time the control knob on the control stalk of the
right multi-function switch is moved from a non-au-
tomatic wipe position to one of the five Auto sensitiv-
ity positions, and another immediate wipe cycle each
time the control knob is moved from a lower Auto
sensitivity position to a higher Auto sensitivity posi-
tion.
MIST WIPE MODE
When the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch is moved to the momentary Mist
position, the BCM energizes the wiper on/off relay for
as long as the Mist switch is held closed, then de-en-
ergizes the relay when the state of the Mist switch
input changes to open. The BCM can operate the
front wiper motor in this mode for only one low speed
cycle at a time, or for an indefinite number of
sequential low speed cycles, depending upon how
long the Mist switch is held closed.
WASH MODE
When the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch is moved to the momentary front
Wash position while the control knob is in the Low or
High positions, the circuitry within the switch directs
battery current to the front washer pump/motor unit.
This will cause the front washer pump/motor unit to
be energized for as long as the front Wash switch is
held closed, and to de-energize when the front Wash
switch is released. When the control stalk of the
right (wiper) multi-function switch is moved to the
momentary front Wash position while the controlknob is in one of the Delay interval or Auto sensitiv-
ity positions, the front washer pump/motor operation
is the same. However, the BCM energizes the wiper
on/off relay to override the selected delay interval or
auto sensitivity level and operate the front wiper
motor in a continuous low speed mode for as long as
the front Wash switch is held closed, then de-ener-
gizes the relay and reverts to the selected delay mode
interval or auto sensitivity level several wipe cycles
after the front Wash switch is released. The BCM
detects the front Wash switch state through a hard
wired washer pump motor switch output circuit input
from the right multi-function switch.
WIPE-AFTER-WASH MODE
When the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch is moved to the momentary front
Wash position while the control knob is in the Off
position, the BCM detects that switch state through
a hard wired washer pump motor switch output cir-
cuit input from the right multi-function switch. The
BCM responds to this input by energizing the wiper
on/off relay for as long as the Wash switch is held
closed, then de-energizes the relay several wipe
cycles after the front Wash switch is released. The
BCM monitors the changing state of the wiper motor
park switch through a hard wired front wiper park
switch sense circuit input. This input allows the
BCM to count the number of wipe cycles that occur
after the front Wash switch state changes to open,
and to determine the proper interval at which to de-
energize the wiper on/off relay to complete the wipe-
after-wash mode cycle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
FRONT WIPER SYSTEM
If the front wiper motor operates, but the wipers
do not move on the windshield, replace the faulty
front wiper module. If the wipers operate, but chat-
ter, lift, or do not clear the glass, clean and inspect
the wiper system components as required. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS -
INSPECTION) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING). 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.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
front wiper and washer system may be diagnosed
and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and
procedures. However, conventional diagnostic meth-

ods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
Body Control Module (BCM), the Rain Sensor Mod-
ule (RSM), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or
the inputs to or outputs from these modules that con-
trol the various front wiper and washer system oper-
ating modes. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the BCM, the RSM, the
PCM or the BCM inputs and outputs related to the
various front wiper and washer system operating
modes requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a
windshield wiper switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing the wiper on/off relay in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front
wiper motor momentarily at low speed to provide the
front wiper mist mode.
²Intermittent Front Wipe Mode- On models
not equipped with the optional automatic wiper sys-
tem, the control knob on the end of the right (wiper)
multi-function switch control stalk is rotated to one
of five minor intermediate detents to select the
desired intermittent front wipe delay interval. The
control knob is rotated rearward (counterclockwise)
to increase the delay, or forward (clockwise) to
decrease the delay. The right (wiper) multi-function
switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the
Body Control Module (BCM) on a windshield wiper
switch mux circuit. The BCM responds by monitoring
electronic vehicle speed messages received from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus,
then energizing the wiper on/off relay in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front wiper
motor at the proper delay intervals.
²Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the right (wiper) multi-function switch con-
trol stalk is rotated to the center detent to select the
intermittent rear wiper mode. The right (wiper)
multi-function switch provides a battery current out-
put to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper motor
delay control circuit to signal the rear wiper module
to operate the rear wiper in the intermittent wipe
mode.
²Rear Washer Mode- The right (wiper) multi-
function switch control stalk is pushed forward
toward the instrument panel to a momentary posi-
tions to activate the rear washer pump/motor in the
rear washer mode. The rear washer pump will con-
tinue to operate in the rear washer mode until the
control stalk is released. The right (wiper) multi-
function switch provides battery current on a rear
washer pump motor control circuit to energize the
rear washer pump in the rear washer mode.DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RIGHT MULTI-

²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the high speed brush of
the front wiper motor through a front wiper high/low
relay high speed output circuit, and is connected to
the high speed brush whenever the relay is ener-
gized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is connected to the low speed
brush of the front wiper motor through a front wiper
high/low relay low speed output circuit, and is con-
nected to the low speed brush whenever the relay is
de-energized.
The wiper high/low relay can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIPER HIGH/LOW
RELAY
The wiper high/low relay (Fig. 26) is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine com-
partment near the battery. 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) Remove the wiper high/low relay from the
PDC. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASH-
ERS/WIPER HIGH/LOW RELAY - REMOVAL).
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, andno continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75   8 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, reinstall the relay and use a DRBIIIt
scan tool to perform further testing. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
