Master Switch Input Test

Note. The power window control unit is built into the power window master switch, and it only controls the driver's window operations.

Scheme 75

1. Remove the switch panel from the door panel (see «DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/rsx/i-2001-2004/remont/windows/#doors__door-panel-removalinstallation) ).
2. Disconnect the 14P connector (B) from the master switch (A).
3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact. If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system. If the terminals look OK, go to step 4.
4. With the connector still disconnected, make these input tests at the connector. If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 5. INPUT TEST (CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED) Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained 10 BLK Under all conditions Check for continuity to ground: There should be continuity. Poor ground (G401) An open in the wire 14 12 YEL/GRN Ignition switch ON (II) Check for voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. Blown No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box An open in the wire 11 GRN/WHT Under all conditions Check for voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. Blown No. 23 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box An open in the wire 2 GRN/BLK Ignition switch ON (II) Check for voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. Blown No. 13 (40 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box Blown No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box Blown No. 22 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box Faulty power window relay Faulty power window relay ground or wire An open in the wire 4 RED/BLK Connect the No. 7 and No. 11 terminals, and the No. 4 and No. 14 terminals. Check for driver's window motor operation: It should run (the driver's window moves down). Poor ground (G401) Faulty driver's window motor An open in the wire 7 RED/YEL 1 BLU/WHT Connect the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals, and the No. 3 and No. 10 terminals, and turn the ignition switch ON (II). Check for passenger's window motor operation: It should run (the passenger's window moves down). Poor ground (G401) Fault passenger's window motor Fault passenger's window switch An open in the wire 3 BLU/RED
5. Reconnect the 14P connector to the switch, and perform the following input tests. If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace the power window master switch. INPUT TEST (CONNECTOR CONNECTED) Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained 5 RED/WHT Ignition switch ON (II) Check for voltage to ground: There should be 5 V or more. Faulty power window master switch Short to ground in the wire 6 LT GRN Under all conditions Check for voltage to ground: There should be less than 1 V. An open in the wire 13 BLU Ignition switch ON (II), and the driver's window switch AUTO DOWN Check for voltage between the No. 13 and No. 6 terminals: There should be 0 V - about 5 V-0 V - about 5 V repeatedly (a digital voltmeter reads about 2.5 V while the window moves). Blown No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box Blown No. 23 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box Faulty power window relay Faulty power window master switch Short to ground in the wire 8 ORN Ignition switch ON (II), and the driver's window switch AUTO DOWN Check for voltage between the No. 8 and No. 6 terminals: There should be 0 V - about 5 V - 0 V - about 5 V repeatedly (a digital voltmeter reads about 2.5 V while the window moves).

Scheme 76

Scheme 77

1. Remove the switch panel from the door panel (see «DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/rsx/i-2001-2004/remont/windows/#doors__door-panel-removalinstallation) ).
2. Disconnect the 14P connector from the power window master switch (A).
3. Remove the three screws and power window master switch.
4. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table. Driver's Switch The driver's switch is combined with the control unit so you cannot isolate the switch to test it. Instead, run the master switch input test procedures (see «MASTER SWITCH INPUT TEST»(/acura/rsx/i-2001-2004/remont/windows/#power-windows__master-switch-input-test) ). If the tests are normal, the driver's switch must be faulty; replace it. Passenger's Switch
5. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the passenger's switch.

1. Remove the switch panel from the door panel (see «DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/rsx/i-2001-2004/remont/windows/#doors__door-panel-removalinstallation) ).
2. Disconnect the 5P connector (A) from the passenger's power window switch (B).
3. Remove the two screws and passenger's power window switch.
4. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.
5. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.

Scheme 81

Scheme 82

1. Remove the driver's door panel (see «DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/rsx/i-2001-2004/remont/windows/#doors__door-panel-removalinstallation) ).
2. Disconnect the 6P connector (A) from the driver's window motor.
3. Test the motor in each direction by connecting battery power and ground according to the table. NOTE: To prevent damage to the motor, disconnect one test lead as soon as the motor stops running.
4. If the motor does not run or fails to run smoothly, replace it.

Pulser Test

1. Reconnect the 6P connector to the window motor, and reconnect the 14P connector to the power window master switch.
2. Check for voltage between the terminals. There should be battery voltage between the No. 6 (+) and No. 4 (-) terminals when the ignition switch is turned ON (II). Connect an analog voltmeter between the No. 5 (+) and No. 4 (-) terminals, and run the window motor down or up. The voltmeter needle should move back and forth alternately (a digital voltmeter should show the average voltage between 0-5 V). Connect an analog voltmeter between the No. 3 (+) and No. 4 (-) terminals, and run the window motor down or up. The voltmeter needle should move back and forth alternately (a digital voltmeter should show the average voltage between 0-5 V).
3. If the voltage is not as specified, replace the driver's window motor.

Resetting the Power Window Control Unit

Resetting the power window control unit is required after performing the following procedures

1. Disconnecting the battery
2. Removing the No. 6 (7.5 A) and/or the No. 23 (20 A) fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box
3. Disconnecting the driver's door wire harness
4. Disconnecting the power window control unit

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Move the driver's window all the way down holding the driver's switch in the AUTO DOWN position; when the window reaches the bottom, hold the driver's window switch in the AUTO DOWN position for 2 seconds.
3. Move the driver's window all the way up holding the driver's switch in the AUTO UP position; when the window reaches the top, hold the driver's window switch in the UP position for 2 seconds.
4. If the window does not work in AUTO, repeat steps 1 through 3.
