Sometimes computer controlled door lock and window circuits can be tough to diag, especially if they have timers (as in BCM controlled circuits designed to provide power for 30 seconds or so after you turn the vehicle off - as long as you don't open the doors). Wiring diagrams just don't show enough detail sometimes. Anyone who has been stuck on a circuit like this for any amount of time can appreciate this video. Information like this can save you hours of diag time. Keep 'em coming!

I like to give special thanks to Tom A in providing the tips. Subscribers like Tom A are credit to our forum. This really shows how well we are working together in building out knowledge. I am very proud to be part of our group. By the way I am software engineer, not Mechanic.. if u need any help on my side, will do it for free for the respect I have

@asewamu 12 лет назад

Thanks for another great video! My first step when I do any sort of diagnostic where I need to know how the circuit works is pull up the system diagram in Mitchell. Watching all of your videos over and over again I'm able to quickly and accurately make my way through the wiring diagrams and move on to component and circuit testing. Every repair made is backed by proof now!

Bad ass video Paul you’re a MASTER. At work one time I had a Hyundai Sonata. It had some problem with the door locks. I can’t exactly remember what. But when I started the video I wanted to ask you this same question. And that is why when i tested power wires with my test light did the actuators in the door locks-lock. Now I know why. Even though i don’t know everything about electrical right now I understand how you explained it in the video. That was the same exact question I was going to ask you. I was baffled as to why the locks actuated when i used my test light. Thanks for the videos!

Thanks Paul and Tom A. I did some research in the weekend go some good Manual from Honda. What it does is, window motor have 4 wires in addition to regular + and -. These 4 wires are called pulses. It has hall effect sensor which look at the rotation of motor and generate pulse similar to our crankshaft and if the pulse is more(as per the programme) means something is obstructing or have reached the top based on total duration of pulses in ms,decided to disconnect the power. continued

The integrated module has a drivers side only function to it. The key less entry module looks like it pulls the circuit to ground just like the door switches. It could however only partially pull the circuit to ground, which would indicate to the integrated module to do the drivers door only. I'm not sure. Or it could all be done by logic in the integrated module. I should have monitored the circuit when using the key fob.

@christianescobar4523 6 лет назад

Thanks for this video. My 03 subaru impreza was locking but it was NOT unlocking. I was able to use this video to truobleshoot and test. Thanks to this video i knew what 2 wires i had to look at at the plug on the door. Yellow wire is to unlock. I tried jumping it with a test light from a ground like he did here and nothing happened but when i jumped the locking wire the doors locked just like it was with the switch connected. So i new it wasn't the switch. I checked for continuity from the door switch to the module or computer and found i did not have continuity on the yellow wire which turns into yellow and red when it gets to the module plug. So used a wire to jump from the yellow wire on the door plug to the yellow and red wire on the module, with both plugs connected and it unlocked the doors so i knew the issue was an open circuit on that wire. I didn't feel like taking everything apart to check where the wire broke exactly so i decide to just run a wire from one end to the other and bypass that yellow wire. So far i have seen no issues whatsoever. Time will tell i guess but i have a feeling there won't be any issues. Thanks to this video i was able to fix this. Its amazing what you can fix by just doing some research online.

@ncrdisabled 12 лет назад

Talking about computers I just got my A/C fixed I got the factory manual very good info. It was a 1991 toyota camry 4 banger it had a bad ground going the the a/c computer . I checked by hooking 12v to compressor and it made the car cool and after a while I got to the computer and grounded the ground with a test light and the complete system come on . That computer sure does a lot of stuff for a car so old.

@YouTube.TOM.A 11 лет назад

Hi Paul and sivucit. There is a timer that interprets a short duration touché to mean that you desire a complete [toll window] open or close function. a longer duration touché will inhibit the timer to move the window as long as the button is depressed. When the window reaches its limits the current requirements increases drastically and this opens a temperature sensitive contact in the window motor and causes a shut down the contact resets after a short duration. Thank you for this video .

@ScannerDanner 11 лет назад

what is the voltage readings on both wires to the motor in the up position and down position. I need four different voltage readings from you to help further.

@ScannerDanner 11 лет назад

nice thank Toms. So with this design would it be safe to say that a mechanical binding of the regulator would cause this Auto Up or Down feature to be limited from the thermal contact? I would think this would be in place even if they used the hall effect position feedback or the range limit switches as sivucit just stated in his research

@JoelAutomotiveInaction 11 лет назад

Yes, it I a fix I was guessing on 2 of the wires I see some voltage 12 input and ground, also on 2 wires up and 12 steady and down pulsating is like duty circle ho I mean from. 0 to 5 volts only when I activate. Front left motor only, there are about 4 wires more that I do not see any activity at all when I operate all the other motors The car is 98 Honda accord 2.3 l sedan Thank you I appreciate your time.

@ScannerDanner 11 лет назад

It certainly could be that. I know blend door actuators will have potentiometers inside of them but I've never seen that for a window circuit. I supposed you could experiment with it by placing something in the path of the window. (I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS! YOU MAY BREAK THE WINDOW). If the auto up feature hits the block and then stops, then you will know that it is a current surge that triggers the off feature.

@ScannerDanner 11 лет назад

so this is fixed then? what year make model car are we talking about? I need to see a diagram to answer your questions

@antiekeradio 12 лет назад

There's 3 wires going to door motors. A simple door motor can be driven by two wires so my guess is that there is one dedicated wire for the driver side door motor. The logic (when in locked state, first unlock signal opens only driver door) can be easily handled by the module internally, no need for special voltage levels.

@ScannerDanner 11 лет назад

I have two pull-up design videos but they are electronic types. I will be looking for a mechanical type for you though.

@travismcvey 5 лет назад

Paul you mentioned you can't tell by looking at the schematic on the circuit design, but to me it seems pretty clear that it's a pull to ground (pull down) design. If it where pull up wouldn't the common wire to the switch be a constant hot?

@JoelAutomotiveInaction 11 лет назад

with the new master switch all the motors works just fine,the purpose of the question is for learning circuit design. to learn i compare reading of faulty and good working switch on reading back probing them the readings are identical I do not see activity changes in voltage but the deference are one works and the other does not I took readins plug and unplug I do not see if it is pull up or pull down to do by pass. do you know how this work thank you.

@JoelAutomotiveInaction 11 лет назад

Hi, Mr paul i have couple questions here I a have 98 accord ex sedan 2.3l I had some issue with RL window motor not working i suspected a switch doing some by pass test I unplug the switch and the 2 wires that goes to the motor up and down did not change state, so I decided to give it some power and nothing happens than I plug in the switch and give power to wires to motor nothing happens all this test where done with the faulty switch. Know I plug in the new switch and did the same test

@JoelAutomotiveInaction 11 лет назад

- with the new switch plug in I gave then power to up and down wires and the motor work at this time to recheck my self plug back the old switch same result than before no reaction how this system works? It has multiplex control. also I have some curiosity about the motor I connected the volt meter at the motor harness and activated the switch close I read 12v on up or down,plug or unplug 0v. so I gave it power to the motor and did not do any thing checking my volt meter read4v?TKZ

@joopterwijn 7 лет назад

Paul, I followed a small course using a arduino as a mockup car CPU. Creating pull up/down situations. Relais activated from the "CPU" by a switch circuit etc just playing with it would give your students also a good feel or better feel for that kind of circuit.

@YouTube.TOM.A 10 лет назад

I would like to correct something that I posted earlier. Many late modern cars use a ripple counter connected to the motor to instructs the window to stop when it reaches the top and bottom limit. There are a given number of commutator impulses [ripples] as the window goes from open to close and these are used by memory chips to stop the window as it reaches the limits

@jonathanhart54 3 года назад

Man electrical became a whole lot easier once I understood that the module has a resister with a voltmeter to the voltage drop when a switch or sensor is used lol (On pull down switches and sensors anyway) in pull up circuits the module just monitors for input voltage right?

@ScannerDanner 11 лет назад

so in the Up position you see 12 and 12? and in the Down position you see 0 and 0? If this is the case you have either a broken wire in the door jam or a bad switch. I think you said you changed the switch, so look for a broken wire in the door jam

@mbrascoupe33 11 лет назад

Hey, scannerdanner would it possible for you to give some examples of some pull-up circuit designs of door lock systems, or some vehicles that have these type of circuits designs?If so, that would be great.

@Highsteel21 2 года назад

I know this video is old. Both of my windows were going down when I turned my Nissan off. The switch looks exactly like your video: I changed the driver and passenger switch. The driver side stopped going down, but the passenger side still goes down. I changed both of my lock actuators and window assembly.

@mbrascoupe33 11 лет назад

Thanks. And also, I don't really understand how you would get 12v on the signal wire going to the computer with the connector plugged in on a pull-up type circuit design. I understand with it unplugged you would get zero volts but its with the connector plugged in that I have trouble with understanding, does that mean that the switch has continuity with the signal wire always until you depress it and open the circuit or what....? If can help me out with that, that would be great.

@sivucit 11 лет назад

part 2.. in case of Toyota, or Nissan, they don't use pulse or interrupter concept as I said in previous post, it uses something called limit switch. which is placed in such a way that if the door went all the up or down the switch will be enabled to disconnect the power..

@anthonybeaudry6066 9 лет назад

Hey Paul, I have been watching your videos and classroom lectures for a while now and have learned alot. about the 8:00 minute mark you are checking the ground with the volt meter and it shows good, it stays below the 100 mv range witch is a good ground. Just a thought here, if the ground was bad the voltmeter would have risen to the 11.39 volts that was coming from the signal wire, right.

@ScannerDannerPremium 9 лет назад

If the ground was open yes. If the ground had high resistance (still "bad") voltage would be higher than normal. But again, only with the circuit "loaded" (switch closed"

@sivucit 11 лет назад

Paul, quick question. 1) when i press the power window up button once (no need to pull up all the time), the glass window goes all the way up. again just pressed once. what is the design that helps the computer to know that the windows is all the way up and it can stop the feed to the motor. any insight please. i was told that when window is all the way up, resistance in motor winding would trigger the computer that it is all the way up. any clue or tips u have.

@aminashraf7045 7 лет назад

great video but i think u switched between the pull up and pull down methods to monitor the switch a pull up method : the control sends the 12V or whatever to the switch which is connected to a ground . when the switch is on the 12V from control side turns to 0V and that's how the control knows that the switch is actually pressed so by grounding the the wire coming from the control to the switch the control acts if the switch is pressed correct me if i'm wrong please.

@steveo782812 7 лет назад

No, I think he was right. Like you said the module sends 12V or whatever to the switch. When the switch closes it allows the current to flow and the voltage to drop across the resistor in the module and the current flows to ground now that the switch is closed. The voltage drops to zero. Thus pull down. The voltage was pulled down from 12 V to 0V. If the signal wire was 0V initially, and you closed the switch and the signal wire raised to 12V, then you would have pulled the voltage up to 12V. Thus, pull up design.

@bbmd2200 Год назад

I was troubleshooting a seat that would not move forward and backward. I could bi-directionally move it forward and backward, which would suggest the driver seat module was fine. Unfortunately, I had to replace the module to fix the issue. I recall having 12 v from the module going to the switch, but when the switch pulls it to ground, the ground did not make it into the module. The switch and its wiring were fine. I still don't understand how the wiring inside the module works. The only thing that matters is that I used your videos to fix the car.

@ScannerDanner Год назад

did you have a data PID to look at that switch input? Interesting one for sure and nice job on the fix

@bbmd2200 Год назад

It was a while ago. Not sure if I had the inputs. I may still have the old module. If I still do, I may put it back in and check the voltage going to the switch and move the switch in the forward position to see if the voltage goes to zero and also see if I have data PID for the switch inputs.

Hey, Paul. Would you still be able to load the ground with a bad switch?

@ScannerDanner 5 лет назад

no sir, but if you close the switch to ground and your ground voltage does NOT increase, your ground is NOT your problem. Make sense? So even though you would not technically be loading the ground, you have properly identified the ground is not your problem.

@martinguitarhd28 6 лет назад

Hey Paul you say that you can use a incandesent test light to bypass a door lock or power windows if the switch goes to a module.i tested my passenger side power windows and was able to bypass the switch with test light to ground but when i tried this at the drivers side master switch it did not work. ? I was on the correct wire .I used my dvom and checked i had just over 9 volts on the wire and when i activated the switch it went to just over 4volts..why did it not pull close to ground? surly if i can bypass the passenger side i should be able to do the drivers side.Could you please explain why this test is not working as the switch goes to a drivers side module .. I understand the section 2 switch inputs but this has me confused now and i cannot understand why a bypass test cannot be done on the drivers side with the test light . The circuit all works fine when i use the switches . I was trying to learn using a real circuit to apply the tests from your lectures.
