(c) Set the window lock switch to the lock position, check

that all the passenger ’s power window switch
illuminations go out.

If operation is not as specified, replace the master switch.

(One Touch Power Window System/Current of Circuit)
Inspection using an ammeter.
(a) Disconnect the connector from the master switch.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the ammeter to

terminal 9 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

10 on the wire harness side connector.

(d) As the window goes down, check that the current flow

is approximately 7 amperes.

(e) Check that the current increases approximately 14.5

amperes or more when the window stops going down.

HINT: The circuit breaker opens some 4–40 seconds after the
window stops going down, so that check must be made be-
fore the circuit breaker operates.
If the operation is as specified, replace the master switch.

Inspection using an ammeter with a current–measuring
probe.
(a) Remove the master switch with connector connected.
(b) Attach a current–measuring probe to terminal 4 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 amperes.

(e) Check that the current increases approximately 14.5

amperes or more when the window stops going down.

HINT: The circuit breaker opens some 4–40 seconds after the
window stops going down, so that check must be made be-
fore the circuit breaker operates.
If operation is as specified, replace the master switch.
