4. INSPECT DEFOGGER WIRE
NOTICE:
When cleaning the glass, use a soft, dry cloth, and wipe the
glass in the direction of the wire. Take care not to damage
the wires.
Do not use detergents or glass cleaners with abrasive in-
gredients.
When measuring voltage, wind a piece of tin foil around the
top of the negative probe and press the foil against the wire
with your finger, as shown.
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Turn the defogger switch ON.
(c) Inspect the voltage at the center of each heat wire, as
shown.
VoltageCriteria
Approx. 5VOkay (No break in wire)
Approx. 10V or 0VBroken wire
HINT:
If there is approximately 10 V, the wire is broken between the
center of the wire and the positive (+) end. If there is no voltage,
the wire is broken between the center of the wire and ground.
(d) Place the voltmeter positive (+) lead against the defogger
positive (+) terminal.
(e) Place the voltmeter negative (±) lead with the foil strip
against the heat wire at the positive (+) terminal end and
slide it toward the negative (±) terminal end.
(f) The point where the voltmeter deflects from zero to sever-
al V is the place where the heat wire is broken.
HINT:
If the heat wire is not broken, the voltmeter indicates 0 V at the
positive (+) end of the heat wire but gradually increases to about
12 V as the meter probe is moved to the other end.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ONE TOUCH POWER WINDOW SYSTEM/
CURRENT OF CIRCUIT (Using an ammeter)
(a) Disconnect the connector from the master switch.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the ammeter to termi-
nal 1 on the wire harness side connector and the negative
(±) lead to negative (±) terminal of the battery.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 on the wire harness side connector.
(d) As the window goes down, check that the current flow is
approximately 7 A.
(e) Check that the current increases up to approximately
14.5 A or more when the window stops going down.
HINT:
The PTC opens some 4 ± 90 seconds after the window stops
going down, so that check must be made before the PTC oper-
ates.
If the operation is as specified, replace the master switch.
2. INSPECT ONE TOUCH POWER WINDOW SYSTEM/
CURRENT OF CIRCUIT (Using an ammeter with a cur-
rent±measuring probe)
(a) Remove the driver door ECU with connectors connected.
(b) Attach a current±measuring probe to terminal 5 of the
wire harness.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON and set the power window
switch in the down position.
(d) As the window goes down, check that the current flow is
approximately 7 A.
(e) Check that the current increases up to approximately
14.5 A or more when the window stops going down.
HINT:
The PTC opens some 4 ± 90 seconds after the window stops
going down, so that check must be made before the PTC oper-
ates.
If operation is as specified, replace the driver door ECU.
3. INSPECT POWER WINDOW SWITCH CONTINUITY

6. Driver 's door:
INSPECT POWER WINDOW MOTOR OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (±) lead to terminal 2, check that the
motor turns clockwise.
(b) Reverse the polarity, check that the motor turns counter-
clockwise.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
NOTICE:
Since the jam protection may not work properly be sure to
conduct procedures described in ºHOW TO RESET POW-
ER MOTOR (RESET AND PULSE SWITCH)º after this in-
spection.
7. Passenger 's door and rear right door:
INSPECT POWER WINDOW MOTOR OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (±) lead to terminal 2, check that the
motor turns clockwise.
(b) Reverse the polarity, check that the motor turns counter-
clockwise.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.

nal 1 of the wire harness side connector and the negative
(±) lead to negative terminal of the battery.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 of the wire harness side connector, and raise the win-
dow to the fully closed position.
(d) Continue to apply voltage, check that the current changes
from approximately 14 A to less than 1 A within 4 to 90 se-
conds.
(e) Disconnect the leads from terminals.
(f) Approximately 90 seconds later, connect the positive (+)
lead from the battery to terminal 1 and negative (±) lead
to terminal 2, check that the window begins to descend.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
10. Except driver's door:
INSPECT PTC OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the power window switch.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the ammeter to termi-
nal 1 of the wire harness side connector and the negative
(±) lead to negative terminal of the battery.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 of the wire harness side connector, and raise the win-
dow to the fully closed position.
