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
