Pinpoint Test K: The One-Touch Up/Down Feature is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 100, Power Windows for schematic and connector information [1][2]Diagrams By Number.

Normal Operation

During normal operation, when the window control switch is pressed to the second detent position to request an auto up or auto down operation, the window control switch provides a 12-volt signal on both the up and down line simultaneously. During an auto up or auto down request, the window motor determines intended window direction by the signal first received (first detent position). If the window control switch is pressed too quickly to the second detent position (less than 5 milliseconds of time between first detent signal and second detent signal), the window motor will not be able to determine the intended direction request and will not operate until the window control switch is released and pressed again.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Window motor not initialized

- Window control switch

- Window motor
