Power Windows - Service Information - Grand Caravan, Town & Country

DESCRIPTION

The Power Window System is activated through switches mounted on the driver door panel, the passenger door
panel and the sliding door inside handle.

OPERATION

Front door window lift motors use permanent type magnets. The B+ and ground applied at the motor terminal
pins will cause the motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing current through the motor terminals will cause the
motor to rotate in the opposite direction.

The power window motors ground through the master switch in the driver door by a black wire attached to the
left cowl panel. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Town & Country and/or SYSTEM WIRING
DIAGRAMS for Grand Caravan .

The power rear vent windows, if equipped, are operated by switches mounted in the driver door switch bezel. A
separate switch is used for each window. Permanent magnet type motors connected to a crank system are used
to open and close the rear vent windows. A battery positive and negative connection to either of the two motor
terminals will cause the motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing current through these same two connections
will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.

EXPRESS DOWN WINDOW FEATURE

This feature allows you to remotely lower both front door windows at the same time. To use this feature, press
and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter and then immediately press and hold the UNLOCK
button until the windows lower to the desired level or until they lower completely.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

POWER WINDOWS

NOTE:

If a power window operates, but the glass moves slowly or stalls at any point
during its travel, the problem could be the result of an improperly installed door
glass or the glass binding against the glass run weatherstrips. Be certain to
confirm that the glass moves freely and smoothly up and down by
disconnecting the glass from the regulator and moving it through its complete
travel manually before attempting to diagnose or repair the power window
system switches or motors. Refer to Body/Door - Front/GLASS, Door -

POWER WINDOW SWITCH WIRING VOLTAGE TEST

The Power Window Switch Wiring Voltage Test that follows determines whether or not voltage is continuous
through the vehicle wire harnesses to the power window switch.

1. Check for battery voltage at the power windows fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).

Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Town & Country and/or SYSTEM WIRING
DIAGRAMS for Grand Caravan for correct fuse identification. If OK, proceed to the next step. If not
OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as required and replace the damaged fuse.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Check for battery voltage at the power windows circuit

breaker in the TIPM. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Town & Country and/or SYSTEM
WIRING DIAGRAMS for Grand Caravan for correct circuit breaker identification. If OK, proceed to
the next step. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as required and replace the damaged
circuit breaker.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Remove the power window switch and bezel assembly from

the door trim panel. See Electrical/Power Windows/SWITCH, Power Window - Removal.

4. Disconnect the door wire harness connector from the back of the power window switch.

5. Check for continuity between each of the ground terminals in the door wire harness connector for the

power window switch and a good ground. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Town &
Country and/or SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Grand Caravan for correct terminal identification.
There should be continuity at each ground terminal. If OK, proceed to the next step. If not OK, repair the
open circuit to ground as required.

6. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Check for battery voltage at each of the fused B (+) terminals

in the door wire harness connector for the power window switch. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING
DIAGRAMS for Town & Country and/or SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Grand Caravan for
correct terminal identification. If OK, the wiring circuits between the fuse or circuit breaker in the TIPM
are OK. If not OK, repair the open circuits between the fuse or circuit breaker in the TIPM and the power
window switch as required.

POWER WINDOW MOTOR TEST

If the power window switch is receiving proper current and ground, but the power window motor does not
operate, proceed with the Power Window Motor Test. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Town &
Country and/or SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Grand Caravan for correct terminal identification.

1. Remove the front door trim panel and sound pad as necessary to gain access to power window motor wire

harness connector. Refer to Body/Door - Front/PANEL, Door Trim - Removal .

2. Disconnect the power window motor wire harness connector from the door wire harness.

3. Using two jumper wires, connect one wire to a battery (+) source and the other to a good ground (-).

4. Connect the negative (-) jumper wire to one of the window motor connector terminals.

5. Momentarily touch the positive (+) jumper wire to the other window motor connector terminal. When

positive jumper wire is connected, the motor should rotate in one direction to move the window up or
down. If the window is already all the way up or down, the motor will grunt and the inner door panel will

flex when the window is actuated in that direction.

6. Reverse the jumper wires at the window motor connector terminals and the window should now move all

the way through its travel in the opposite direction.

7. If the window motor does not move the glass up or down through its complete travel, replace the window

motor.

STANDARD PROCEDURE

CLEAR/RELEARN

CLEAR/DENORMALIZE USING A SCAN TOOL

To clear/denormalize the door module memory, using a scan tool under the Miscellaneous menu look for
Denormalization Window Command/ECU reset, and follow the directions.

RELEARN/NORMALIZE USING A SCAN TOOL

To relearn/normalize the door module memory, using a scan tool under the Miscellaneous menu look for
Normalization Window command and follow the directions.

CLEAR/DENORMALIZE, RELEARN/NORMIALIZE WITHOUT A SCAN TOOL

Hold up/down the window switch for at least 30 seconds until the DTC is set for stuck switch. This will clear
the memory of the calibration information (CLEAR/DENORMAILIZE). Proceed to relearn/normalize.

1. Put a battery charger on vehicle.

2. If equipped with express-up/express-down, reset the express-up/down module for the door window glass.

The window switch on the corresponding door must be used to control the window. Do not use the master
switch for the passenger window.

3. To calibrate, start by moving the window to the middle position.

4. Drive the glass to the full-up position by pulling up on the window switch to its second detent and hold

the switch until the glass is fully closed. Do not release the window switch. Continue to hold the window
switch up for 2 seconds after the window glass is full closed.

5. Drive the glass to the full - down position by pushing down (depress) the window switch, (second detent

if equipped with express-down) until the window glass is down for 2 seconds after the window glass is
fully open. Do not release the window switch. Continue to hold the window switch down for 2 seconds
after the window glass is fully open.

6. Check the operation of the express-up/express-down feature.

7. If the express up/down doesn't work, repeat step 3, waiting for 3 seconds.

NOTE:

Make sure battery is fully charged before proceeding.

NOTE:

This needs to be completed every time the window glass is adjusted/removed,
motor replaced, and or regulator replaced.
