INSPECT SWITCH ILLUMINATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 7 and
the negative (−) lead to terminal 1 check that all the illuminations
light up.
If operation is not as specified, replace the master switch.
5. 3 Door models:
INSPECT ONE TOUCH POWER WINDOW SYSTEM
(a) Using an ammeter, inspect the system.
(1) Disconnect the connector from the master switch.
(2) Connect the positive (+) lead from the ammeter to
terminal 3 on the wire harness side connector and
the negative (−) lead to the negative (−) terminal of
the battery.
(3) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to ter-
minal 4 on the wire harness side connector.
(4) As the window goes down, check that the current
flow is approximately 7 amperes.
(5) Check that the current increases up to approxi-
mately 14.5 amperes or more when the window
stops going down.
HINT:
The circuit breaker opens some 4 − 40 seconds after the win-
dow stops going down, so that check must be made before the
circuit breaker operates.
If the operation is not as specified, replace the master switch.
(b) Using an ammeter with a current measurement probe, in-
spect the system.
(1) Remove the master switch with connector con-
nected.
(2) Attach a current−measuring probe to terminal 3 of
the wire harness.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and set the power win-
dow switch in the down position.

terminal 6 on the wire harness side connector and
the negative (−) lead to negative (−) terminal of the
battery.
(3) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to ter-
minal 13 on the wire harness side connector.
(4) As the window goes down, check that the current
flow is approximately 7 amperes.
(5) Check that the current increases up to approxi-
mately 14.5 A or more when the window stops going
down.
HINT:
The circuit breaker opens some 4 − 40 seconds after the win-
dow stops going down, so that check must be made before the
circuit breaker operates.
If the operation is not as specified, replace the master switch.
(b) Using an ammeter with a current measurement probe, in-
spect the system.
