Circuit Description
The driver window switch signal circuits provide inputs to the intelligent switching unit (ISU) when the driver window switch is activated to the UP or DOWN position. These inputs allow the ISU to detect a window UP or DOWN request. The ISU provides power and ground to the driver window switch. When the driver window switch is activated to the manual UP or DOWN position, ground is supplied through the window switch to the signal circuit, which is pulled low. When the ISU detects low voltage on the signal circuit, it will command the window in the UP or DOWN direction. When the switch is released, the command ceases.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The ISU detects a short to voltage on a window switch signal circuit. |
| • | Condition must be present for greater than 20 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Stores a current and history DTC 025 or 026 in ISU memory.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The ISU no longer detects a short to voltage on a window switch circuit. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present. |
Diagnostic Aids
The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
| • | There is an intermittent short to voltage in a window switch signal circuit. |
| • | A window switch is shorted to voltage internally or is sticking. |
| • | A window switch was pressed for longer than 20 seconds. |
If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, then the problem may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step tests for the normal state of the window switch using a scan tool. The scan tool will display the normal state as Inactive, and Active when the switch is activated.
-
This step tests if the ISU is able to detect a change in window switch state. The scan tool will display the normal state as Inactive, and Active when the switch is activated.
-
This step tests for a stuck or shorted window switch. If the window switch is stuck or shorted, the state will change from Active to Inactive when the window switch is disconnected.
-
This step tests for a short to ground in the window switch signal circuit.

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | Go to Step 2 | |
Does the scan tool display Inactive? | Go to Step 3 | Go to Step 4 | |
Does the wiper washer switch parameter change state? | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections | Go to Step 4 | |
Does the scan tool display Inactive? | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 5 | |
Test the signal circuit of the window switch for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 6 | |
6 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the intelligent switching unit (ISU). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 9 |
7 | Test the signal circuit of the window switch for an open or short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 8 |
8 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the window switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 10 |
