(2) Attach a current−measuring probe to terminal 6 of
the wire harness.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and set the power win-
dow switch in the down position.
(4) As the window goes down, check that the current 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 operation is not as specified, replace the master switch.
