DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCK
MOTOR
Remember, the Driver Door Module (DDM) cir-
cuitry controls the output to the driver side front
door power lock motor. The Passenger Door Module
(PDM) circuitry controls the output to the power lock
motors for the remaining doors and the liftgate.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing 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) Check each power lock motor for correct opera-
tion while moving the power lock switch to both the
Lock and Unlock positions. If all of the power lock
motors are inoperative, go to Step 2. If one power
lock motor is inoperative, go to Step 3.
(2) If all of the power lock motors except the driver
side front door are inoperative, the problem may be
caused by one shorted motor. Disconnecting a shorted
power lock motor from the power lock circuit will
allow the good power lock motors to operate. Discon-
nect the wire harness connector from each PDM-con-
trolled power lock motor, one at a time, and recheck
both the lock and unlock functions by operating the
power lock switch. If all of the PDM-controlled power
lock motors are still inoperative after the above test,
check for a short or open circuit between the power
lock motors and the PDM. If disconnecting one power
lock motor causes the other motors to become func-
tional, go to Step 3 to test the power lock motor that
was last disconnected.
(3) Once it is determined which power lock motor
is inoperative, that motor can be tested as follows.
Disconnect the door or liftgate wire harness connec-
tor from the inoperative power lock motor. Apply 12
volts to the lock and unlock driver circuit cavities of
the power lock motor connector to check its operation
in one direction. Reverse the polarity to check the
motor operation in the opposite direction. If OK,
repair the shorted or open circuits between the lock
motor and the DDM or PDM as required. If not OK,
replace the faulty power lock motor.
POWER LOCK SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power lock motors are controlled by a two-way
momentary switch mounted on the trim panel of each
front door. Each power lock switch is illuminated by
a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) that is integral to the
switch paddle.
The driver side front door power lock switch is
integral to the Driver Door Module (DDM), and the
passenger side front door power lock switch is inte-
gral to the Passenger Door Module (PDM). The
power lock switches and their lamps cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire DDM or PDM unit must be replaced. (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION).
OPERATION
The front door power lock switches provide a lock
and unlock signal to the door module circuitry. The
Driver Door Module (DDM) circuitry controls the out-
put to the driver side front door power lock motor,
while the Passenger Door Module (PDM) circuitry
controls the output to the passenger side front door,
both rear door and the liftgate power lock motors.
When the DDM-integrated power lock switch is
actuated, the DDM circuitry sends control outputs to
the driver side front door power lock motor and sends
a message to the PDM over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus to control the
output to the passenger side front door, both rear
door and the liftgate power lock motors. When the
PDM-integrated power lock switch is actuated, the
PDM circuitry sends control outputs to the passenger
side front door, both rear door and the liftgate power
lock motors and sends a message to the DDM over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus to control the output to the driver side front
door power lock motor.
Each power lock switch is illuminated by a Light-
Emitting Diode (LED) when the ignition switch is
turned to the On position. See the owner's manual in
the vehicle glove box for more information on the fea-
tures, use and operation of the power lock switches.

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
- ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/AUTOMATIC
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 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL
- DESCRIPTION) for more information.
²Driver Door Module (DDM)(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
WJPOWER MIRRORS 8N - 11

ULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
for more information.
²Passenger Door Module (PDM)(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
for more information.
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.
OPERATION
The Driver Door Module (DDM) and the Passenger
Door Module (PDM) each contain the power mirror
control logic for the mirror on its respective door. The
DDM also houses the power mirror switch. Each door
module controls the positioning of its respective out-
side mirror through hard wired outputs to that mir-
ror. When the power mirror switch on the DDM is
used to position the passenger side outside mirror,
the DDM sends mirror positioning messages to the
PDM over the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus. The PDM responds to these mes-
sages by sending control outputs to move the
passenger side mirror accordingly.
Both the PDM and DDM respond to the defogger
switch status messages sent by the Body Control
Module (BCM) over the PCI data bus to control the
electric heater grids of their respective mirrors.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED MIRRORS -
DESCRIPTION) for more information on this fea-
ture.
On models equipped with the optional memory sys-
tem, each door module also receives a hard wired
input from the two power mirror motor position
potentiometers that are integral to each power mir-
ror. Each door module then stores the Driver 1 and
Driver 2 mirror position information for its respective
mirror. When the DDM receives a Driver 1 or Driver
2 memory recall message from the memory switch on
the driver side front door trim panel or from the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiver in the PDM,
the DDM positions the driver side mirror and sends
a memory recall message back to the PDM over the
PCI data bus to position the passenger side mirror.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power mirror system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER MIRRORS
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power mir-
ror system. However, these tests may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of this system. In order toobtain conclusive testing of the power mirror system,
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network and all of the electronic modules
that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the
power mirror system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power mirror 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, that the
power mirror motors are being sent the proper hard
wired outputs, and that the mirror position potenti-
ometers are returning the proper outputs to the door
modules for them to perform their power mirror sys-
tem functions.
AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - REAR VIEW MIRROR
An automatic day/night mirror system is an avail-
able factory-installed option on this model. The auto-
matic dimming inside day/night rear view mirror
system is a completely self-contained unit that
replaces the standard equipment inside rear view
mirror. This system will automatically change the
reflectance of the inside rear view mirror to protect
the driver from the unwanted headlight glare of
trailing vehicles while driving at night. The auto-
matic day/night inside mirror receives ignition
switched battery current through a fuse in the junc-
tion block, and will only operate when the ignition
switch is in the On position.
Vehicles equipped with the automatic day/night
mirror system are also available with an optional fac-
tory-installed automatic dimming outside rear view
mirror for the driver side of the vehicle. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIR-
ROR - DESCRIPTION) for more information on this
option.
The automatic day/night mirror sensitivity cannot
be repaired or adjusted. If any component of this unit
is faulty or damaged, the entire automatic day/night
inside rear view mirror unit must be replaced. Refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, details of wire har-
ness routing and retention, connector pin-out infor-
mation and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

POWER MIRRORS (Continued)

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.

DESCRIPTION - MEMORY SYSTEM
An electronic memory system is standard equip-
ment on the Limited model. The memory system is
able to store and recall the driver side power seat
positions (including the power recliner position), and
both outside power mirror positions for two drivers.
For vehicles with a radio connected to the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work, the memory system is also able to store and
recall up to twenty - ten AM and ten FM - radio sta-
tion presets for two drivers. The memory system also
will store and recall the last station listened to for
each driver, even if it is not one of the twenty preset
stations.
The memory system will automatically return to
all of these settings when the corresponding num-
bered and color-coded button (Driver 1 - Black, or
Driver 2 - Gray) of the memory switch on the driver
side front door trim panel is depressed, or when the
doors are unlocked using the corresponding num-
bered and color-coded (Driver 1 - Black, or Driver 2 -
Gray) Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. A
customer programmable feature of the memory sys-
tem allows the RKE recall of memory features to be
disabled in cases where there are more than two
drivers of the vehicle.
The memory system also has a customer program-
mable easy exit feature that will move the driver
seat rearward 55 millimeters (two inches) or to the
end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key
is removed from the ignition switch lock cylinder.A Memory Seat Module (MSM) or Memory Heated
Seat Module (MHSM) are used on this model to con-
trol and integrate the many electronic functions and
features included in the memory system. On vehicles
equipped with the heated seat system option, the
MHSM also controls the functions and features of
that system.
The memory system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Memory seat module (or memory heated seat
module)
²Memory switch
²Position potentiometers on both outside power
mirrors
²Position potentiometers on the driver side power
seat track and power seat recliner motors.
²Radio receiver (if PCI data bus capable).
Certain functions and features of the memory sys-
tem rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, 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 feature capabil-
ities. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRBtscan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are recommended.

OPERATION
OPERATION - POWER SEAT SYSTEM
The power seat system allows the driver and/or
front passenger seating positions to be adjusted elec-
trically and independently using the separate power
seat switches found on the outboard seat cushion
side shield of each front seat. See the owner's manual
in the vehicle glove box for more information on the
features, use and operation of the power seat system.
OPERATION - MEMORY SYSTEM
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation of
the memory system. For diagnosis of the MSM, the PCI
data bus, or the other electronic modules on the PCI
data bus that provide inputs and outputs for the mem-
ory system, the use of a DRBtscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR MODULES
The Driver Door Module (DDM) monitors the mem-
ory switch through a hard wired circuit. It also mon-
itors the unlock messages from the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) receiver in the Passenger Door Module
(PDM) sent over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus. The DDM is programmed to
send memory recall messages and memory system
status messages over the PCI data bus to the other
electronic modules when it detects a memory recall
request.
Refer toDoor Modulein Electronic Control Mod-
ules for more information on the DDM and PDM.
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
serves as the user interface for the memory system. It
displays memory system status messages and provides
the user with the means for enabling and disabling
the many customer programmable features available
on the vehicle, including those for the memory system.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the EVIC. Refer toElectronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Centerin Overhead Console Systems for more
information on the EVIC.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING - POWER SEAT
SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power seat
system. However, if the vehicle is also equipped with
the optional memory system, these tests may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the driver side
power seat. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the driver side power seat with the memory system
option, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic mod-
ules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the driver side power seat with the memory
system option requires the use of a DRBtscan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The
DRBtscan tool can provide confirmation that the
PCI data bus is functional, that all of the electronic
modules are sending and receiving the proper mes-
sages on the PCI data bus, and that the memory sys-
tem is receiving the proper hard wired inputs and
relaying the proper hard wired outputs to perform its
driver side power seat functions.
Before any testing of the power seat system is
attempted, the battery should be fully-charged and
all of the power seat system wire harness connections
and pins cleaned and tightened to ensure proper cir-
cuit continuity and ground paths. For complete cir-
cuit diagrams, refer toPower Seatin Wiring
Diagrams.
With the dome lamp on, apply the power seat
switch in the direction of the failure. If the dome
lamp dims, the seat may be jamming. Check under
and behind the seat for binding or obstructions. If
the dome lamp does not dim, proceed with testing of
the individual components and circuits.
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING - MEMORY SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
components and circuits that provide hard wired
inputs to the memory system. However, these tests
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of this sys-
tem. In order to obtain conclusive testing of the
memory system, the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network and all of the elec-
tronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive out-
puts from the memory system components must be
checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the memory system requires the use of a
DRBtscan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRBtscan tool can provide con-
firmation 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 memory system is receiving the proper hard
wired inputs and relaying the proper hard wired out-
puts to perform its functions.
DRIVER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Two different power seat switches are used on this
vehicle, depending upon the optional power seat sys-
tem installed in the vehicle. The six-way power seats
are each equipped with a switch featuring three
switch control knobs ganged together on the outboard
seat cushion side shield (Fig. 1). The ten-way power
seats are each equipped with a switch featuring two
knobs ganged together on the outboard seat cushion
side shield (Fig. 2).
The switch units for both power seat types are
secured to the back of the seat cushion side shield
with two screws. However, the control knobs for the
six-way power seat switch unit remain installed dur-
ing switch unit removal and installation, while both
knobs for the ten-way power seat switch unit must
be removed.
The individual switches in both power seat switch
units cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged or
faulty, the entire power seat switch unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat tracks of both the six-way and the
ten-way power seat systems can be adjusted in six
different ways using the power seat switches. The
ten-way system has the additional power seat
recliner switch integral to the power seat switch and
also has a separate, stand-alone switch to control the
power lumbar adjuster. See the owner's manual in
the vehicle glove box for more information on the
power seat switch functions and the seat adjusting
procedures.
When a power switch control knob or knobs are
actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.

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.

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.

and no voltage in the neutral position. If OK,(Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS/WINDOW
MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If not OK,
replace the faulty door module.
(9) Check the rear door power window switch con-
tinuity. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER WIN-
DOWS/POWER WINDOW SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If OK, go to Step 10. If not OK,
replace the faulty rear door power window switch.
(10) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Reconnect the door wire harness connector to
the rear door power window switch. Disconnect the
door wire harness connector from the inoperative
power window motor wire harness connector. Check
for continuity between the rear window driver up cir-
cuit cavity of the 15-way door wire harness connector
for the door module and a good ground. Repeat the
check for the rear window driver down circuit. In
each case there should be no continuity. If OK, go to
Step 11. If not OK, repair the shorted rear window
driver up or down circuit as required.
(11) Check for continuity between the rear window
driver up circuit cavities of the 15-way door wire har-
ness connector for the door module and the power
window motor wire harness connector. Repeat the
check for the rear window driver down circuit. In
each case there should be continuity. If OK, go to
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
