Circuit/System Description
When the rear defogger button is pressed, voltage is supplied to the relay coil and the HVAC control module also illuminates the rear window defogger indicator. Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the relay switched input and the relay coil is always grounded. This allows battery positive voltage from the relay switched input through the switch contacts and out the relay switched output to the rear window defogger.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
B0283 06
The HVAC control module detects a short to ground in the relay coil control circuit for 1 second or greater.
B0283 05
The HVAC control module detects a short to battery or open/high resistance in the relay coil control circuit for 1 second or greater.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The rear window defogger will malfunction.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- The DTC clears when the fault is no longer detected.
- The current DTC will become history when the request for the output is removed.
- The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

The driver power window switch contains individual window switches for each of power windows. All windows may be controlled up and down from the driver power window switch. The individual passenger power window switches will only control the up and down operation of their respective power window.
Each power window contains a reversible power window motor. The direction the window travels is dependent upon the polarity of the supply voltage. By reversing polarity of the supply voltage the window motor will move up or down. Each power window motor is internally circuit breaker protected.
Battery voltage is supplied to the power window switch through the accessory voltage supply circuit. The power window switch also receives a constant ground source. The power window motor control circuits are connected to ground through the normally closed up and down contacts of the power window switch. When the power switch is placed in the down position, the power window motor down control circuit is switched to 12 volts and is applied to the down side of the power window motor. Since the other side of the power motor is connected to ground through the normally closed contacts of the up switch, the window travels down. By placing the power window switch in the up position, the polarity of the power window motor is reversed and the window travels up.

Full-Cut Method Description
| IMPORTANT | If corrosion of the pinch-weld flange is present, or if sheet metal repairs or replacements are required, refinish the pinch-weld flange in order to present a clean, primer-only surface. If paint repairs are required, mask the flange bonding area, prior to applying the color coat, in order to provide a clean, primer-only surface. Appropriate materials for these primer applications are typically 2 component catalyzed products. Use materials such as BASF DE15®, DuPont 2610®, Sherwin-Williams PSE 4600 and NP70® and Martin-Semour 5120,5130®, PPG DP90LF SPIES/HECKER 3688/8590 - 3688/5150 - 4070/5090 STANDOX 11158/13320 - 14653/14980 products are approved for this application. Follow the manufacturer's directions for the mix, the application, and the drying times. After repairing the opening as indicated, use adhesive systems which meet GM Specification GM 3651G. |
Use only the full cut method, also known in the field as full strip method, when installing windows.
This method includes the following
- The replacement of a majority of the adhesive bead. Remove all but approximately 2 mm (3/64 in) of the existing bead of adhesive from the pinch-weld flange.
- Apply pinch-weld primer to any exposed painted areas on the pinch-weld flange.
No mounds or loose pieces of adhesive should remain on the pinch-weld flange. Do not remove all traces of adhesive.
Power Window System Components
The power window system consists of the following components
- Driver window switch
- Front passenger window switch
- Left rear window switch
- Right rear window switch
- Window regulator motors in each of the doors
- PWR WDO Circuit Breaker 25 amp
Power Window System Controls
The power window system can be controlled by a power window up or down switch activation.
Window Operation and the Driver Window Switch
When the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCY position, or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is enabled, battery positive voltage is supplied to the driver window switch. Ground for the switch is provided by a ground circuit connected to a ground stake. When the driver window switch is pressed in the down position, the voltage is applied to the driver window motor down circuit and ground is applied to the driver window motor up circuit causing the window to open. When the driver window switch is pressed in the up position, the polarity is reversed, voltage and ground are applied to the opposite circuits and the window closes. In order to control the passenger windows from the driver door, the driver window switch assembly contains a separate window switch for each passenger door window. These window switches operate in the same way as the driver window switch, except that the applied voltage and ground must also pass through the remote passenger window switch to get to the respective window motor.
The driver window switch also provides power and ground for the remote rear window switches. Battery positive voltage is supplied, through the power window master switch lockout signal circuit, to each remote rear window switch. The remote front passenger door window switch has a separate battery positive voltage circuit, however, this circuit is spliced into the driver window switch voltage supply circuit within the IP Fuse Block. Ground for all three of the passenger door switches, is also supplied by the driver window switch.
Express Down Feature
The driver window will travel to the fully down position when the driver window switch is pressed past the first detent. Pressing the driver window switch to the up position will cancel the express down feature.
Lockout Switch Feature
The driver window switch contains a rear window lockout switch which disconnects the battery positive voltage supply to the remote rear passenger door window switches, disabling them. The remote front passenger door window switch cannot be locked out.
Window Operation and the Passenger Window Switches
When the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCY position, or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is enabled, battery positive voltage is supplied to each of the remote passenger door window switches. When a remote window switch is pressed in the down position, voltage is applied to the window motor down circuit and ground is applied to the window motor up circuit, causing the window to open. When the window switch is pressed in the up position, the polarity is reversed, voltage and ground are applied to the opposite circuits, and the window closes.
Rear Window Defogger System Components
The rear window defogger system consists of the following components
- HVAC control module
- Defog relay
- Rear window defogger grid
- BATT 3 Fuse
Rear Window Defogger Operation
When you depress the rear defogger switch, voltage is supplied to the REAR DEFOG relay coil and the HVAC control module also illuminates the rear window defogger indicator. Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the REAR DEFOG relay switched input and the REAR DEFOG relay coil is always grounded. This allows battery positive voltage from the relay switched input through the switch contacts and out the relay switched output to the rear window defogger.
When you start the engine and press the rear defogger switch for the first time, the defogger cycle lasts for 20 minutes. Further defogger cycles vary based on ambient temperature and vehicle speed. The rear window defogger will be extended when the ambient temperature is cooler or if the vehicle speed is above 72 km per hour (45 mph).
Stationary Window Description
Most stationary windows, specifically windshields, are retained to the body with adhesive which adheres the window to the body, increasing structural integrity. The reinstallation of the windows with adhesive requires complete replacement of the adhesive bead, and is known as the full cut method. All stationary windows must use a adhesive systems which meet GM Specification GM 3651G
Urethane Adhesive Description
For replacement of any adhesive-installed window, use the full cut method only.
Use adhesive systems which meet GM Specification GM 3651G.
Use these materials based on specific manufacturer. Do NOT intermix primers or adhesives from one manufacturer to another.
Always follow the system manufacturer's instructions for application, handling, and curing.
