POWER WINDOW MAIN SWITCH FUNCTION
The main switch is located on the driver’s door.
Raises the driver’s power window
When the driver’s power window switch on the power window
main switch is pulled up, the system energizes its respective
power window motor, and then the driver’s window glass rises.
Lowers the driver’s power window
When the driver’s power window switch on the power window
main switch is pushed down, the system energizes its respec-
tive power window motor, and then the driver’s window glass
lowers.
Lowers the driver’s power window by one-touch down
function
When the driver’s power window switch on the power window
main switch is pushed down fully, the system energizes its
respective power window motor, and then the driver’s window
glass moves to its lowest position.
Raises the passenger’s power window
When the passenger’s power window switch on the power win-
dow main switch is pulled up, the system energizes its respec-
tive power window motor, and then the passenger’s window
glass rises.

Lowers the passenger’s power window
When the passenger’s power window switch on the power win-
dow main switch is pushed down, the system energizes its
respective power window motor, and then the passenger’s win-
dow glass lowers.
POWER WINDOW SUB SWITCH FUNCTION
The sub switches are located on the passenger’s doors.
Raises the passenger’s power window
When the power window sub switch is pulled up, the system
energizes its respective power window motor, and then the
passenger’s window glass rises.
Lowers the passenger’s power window
When the power window sub switch is pushed down, the sys-
tem energizes its respective power window motor, and then the
passenger’s window glass lowers.
Power window timer function
Even after the ignition is switched off, the ETACS-ECU keeps
the power window relay activated for approximately 30 sec-
onds, enabling raising and lowering of the power windows by
using the power window switches. After approximately 30 sec-
onds, the power window relay is deactivated.
During this timed operation, if the driver or passenger doors are
opened, the power window relay is deactivated from that
moment.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE D-1: Power Windows: Power windows do not work at all.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires use
of diagnostic tool MB991958 and SWS monitor kit
MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS mon-
itor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU turns on the power window relay
(installed on the junction block) to activate the power
windows when the ignition switch (IG1) is turned to
the "ON" position.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The power window relay may be defective
The power window main switch may be defective
The ETACS-ECU may be defective

STEP 2. Check the input signal by using "DATA LIST"
menu of the SWS monitor.
Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position before checking
input signals from the ignition switch (IG1).
(1) Operate the diagnostic tool MB991958 according to the
procedure below to display "ETACS ECU."
a. Select "Interactive Diagnosis."
b. Select "System Select."
c. Select "SWS."
d. Select "SWS MONITOR."
e. Select "Data List."
f. Select "ETACS ECU."
(2) Check that normal conditions are displayed for the items
described in the table below.
Q: Does the diagnostic tool MB991958 display "IG SW
(IG1)" as normal condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Refer to Inspection Procedure M-2 "ETACS-ECU
does not receive any signal from the ignition switch
(IG1) P.54B-408."
STEP 3. Check power window relay connector C-203 for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is power window relay connector C-203 in good
condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer
to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection
P.00E-2. The power windows function should now
work normally. ITEM NO. ITEM NAME NORMAL CONDITION

STEP 4. Check the power window relay.
Q: Is the power window relay normal?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Replace the power window relay. Verify that the
power windows work normally.
STEP 5. Check the battery power supply circuit to the
power window relay. Measure the voltage at power window
relay connector C-203.
(1) Disconnect power window relay connector C-203 and
measure the voltage available at the junction block side of
the connector.
(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 5 and ground.
The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts
(battery positive voltage).
Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery
positive voltage)?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 6. BATTERY

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between power window
relay connector C-203 (terminal 5) and fusible link (5).
NOTE: Also check junction block connector C-212 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in
the connectors. If junction block connector C-212 is damaged,
repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2.
Q: Is the wiring harness between power window relay
connector C-203 (terminal 5) and fusible link (5) in good
condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the
connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. The power
windows function should now work normally.

STEP 7. Check the ground circuit to the power window
relay. Measure the resistance at power window relay
connector C-203.
(1) Disconnect power window relay connector C-203 and
measure the resistance available at the junction block side
of the connector.
(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 3 and
ground.
The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.
Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?
YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : Go to Step 8.
STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between power window
relay connector C-203 (terminal 3) and ground.
NOTE: Also check junction block connector C-211 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in
the connector. If junction block connector C-211 is damaged,
repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2.
Q: Is the wiring harness between power window relay
connector C-203 (terminal 3) and ground in good
condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the
connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
