Rear Passenger Power Window Operation

The passenger power window switches incorporate window up and down relays. The supply side of all the window up and down relays receive voltage through the battery voltage supply circuit and the LT DOOR or RT DOOR circuit breakers respectively. The normally closed contacts of each relay is connected to ground. The load side of each of the relays are connected to either side of the power window motor through the power window up and down circuits.

The relay coil feed circuits are connected to the BCM through the power window lockout control circuit and the relay control circuits are connected to the power window switches and to the BCM.

If a rear power window switch is placed in the down position, the down relay would energize and allow battery voltage to the power window motor through the power window motor down circuit. Since the opposite side of the motor is connected to the normally closed contacts of the up relay to ground through the power window motor up circuit, the window moves down. If a rear power window switch is placed in the up position, the up relay would energize and allow battery voltage to the power window motor through the power window motor up circuit. Since the opposite side of the motor is connected to the normally closed contacts of the down relay to ground through the power window motor down circuit, the window moves up.

The rear passenger power windows can also be controlled from the power window master switch. The power window master switches for the rear passenger power windows have two positions UP and Down and its position is a direct input into the DDM. Upon receiving a request for rear passenger power window operation (switch activation), the DDM transmits a Class 2 message indicating the changed switch position. When the BCM receives this message, the BCM can control the rear window up and down relays.
