INSPECTION

SymptomsInspection order
All power windows do not operate.Check the fuse. Check the power window relay. Check the wiring harness.
Particular window does not operate.Check the fuse. Check the power window main switch. Check the power window sub-switch. Check the power window motor. Check the wiring harness.
"Window Lock" does not operate.Check the power window main switch.
Driver's side window moves slightly (approx. 20 mm (0.79 in)). (model with driver's side AUTO UP function)Check the power window motor. Check the power window main switch. Check the wiring harness.
Driver's side window moves slightly (approx. 50 mm (1.97 in)). (model with driver's side AUTO UP function) (This is not malfunction.)Perform reset operation A. < Refer to RESET OPERATION A , OPERATION, Power Window System. >
Driver's side window does not close completely. (model with driver's side AUTO UP function) (After fully closed with AUTO UP, the window reverses and slightly opens.)Perform reset operation B. < Refer to RESET OPERATION B , OPERATION, Power Window System. >

SYMPTOM CHART

SymptomsInspection order
All function does not operate.Check the fuse. Check the remote control mirror switch. Check the wiring harness.
One side of the mirror motor does not operate.Check the remote control mirror switch. Check the mirror motor. Check the wiring harness.
Mirror heater does not operate.Check the defogger switch. Check the mirror heater relay. Check the mirror heater. Check the wiring harness.

Note. The mirror heater operates with the rear window defogger at the same time. Refer to the inspection procedure of rear window defogger system for details. < Refer to INSPECTION , Rear Window Defogger System. >

  1. Disconnect the motor connector.
  2. Apply battery voltage between the motor connector terminals and check the motor operation. Check to ensure that the motor rotates in reverse direction when the terminal to which battery voltage is applied is changed. RH side Terminal No. Inspection conditions Specification 1 (+) - 4 (-) Apply battery voltage between terminals Increase 4 (+) - 1 (-) Apply battery voltage between terminals Decrease LH side Terminal No. Inspection conditions Specification 3 (+) - 6 (-) Apply battery voltage between terminals Increase 6 (+) - 3 (-) Apply battery voltage between terminals Decrease
  3. If the inspection results in improper operation, replace the rear regulator and motor assembly.

HEAT WIRE INSPECTION

CAUTIONUse a dry soft cloth to wipe off dirt on the glass along the heat wires with care not to damage the heat wires.

  1. Prepare the following checking items. Liquid crystal thermograph sheet (Approximate Size: 300 x 300 mm (11.8 x 11.8 in) and thermal temperature: 35 - 40°C (95 - 104°F)) Aluminum foil
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Turn the defogger switch to ON.
  4. Push the liquid crystal thermograph sheet from the outside of the rear glass. NOTE: Use the liquid crystal thermograph sheet every range it is separated with the separate line.
  5. Determine the faulty heat wire by checking the color of the liquid crystal thermograph sheet. Liquid crystal thermograph sheet Criteria Change occurred (red --> blue) Normal No change (black) Open NOTE: Check from the inside of the glass if the liquid crystal thermograph sheet does not change. The time for the color change may differ depends on the surface temperature of the glass.
  6. Wrap a piece of aluminum foil around the tip of tester probe and press it against the heat wire with your finger.
  7. To both ends of the section that has been found to include an open in the step 5 ), apply the tester positive (+) probe and the negative (-) probe.
  8. Move the tester probe on the negative (-) side slowly along the heat wire. If voltage changes from zero while moving the tester probe, heat wire is open at the voltage change point.
  9. Repair the heat wire that determines the place of the open circuit. < Refer to «REPAIR»(ref-565150-S41399340822013071000000) , Rear Window Defogger System. >

Scheme 15: REPAIR
  1. Clean the broken portion with alcohol or white gasoline.
  2. Mask both side of wire with masking tape.
  3. Apply the conductive silver composition to the broken portion. Conductive silver composition: by Permatex QUICK GRID
  4. Dry using a dryer after applying the composition.
  5. After repair, check the wire.

Check the mirror and mirror mount for damage.

< Refer to HEAT WIRE INSPECTION , INSPECTION, Rear Window Defogger System. >

Note. Heat wire inspection needs removing/installing procedure of instrument panel assembly.
