Circuit Description

The simple bus interface (SBI), CKT 217 (LT BLU), provides a communications path from both the passenger door and the rear door modules to the driver door module (DDM). The DDM contains the following 2 types of software:

    • Switch message decoding software
    • SBI diagnostic software

The software enables the DDM to monitor the rear door power window switch states.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B2204 will set any time one of the rear power window switches is continuously closed in either the UP or DOWN position for a period greater than 15 seconds.

DTC B1982 (battery voltage high) and DTC B1983 (battery voltage low) must not be current or the diagnostic will not run.

Action Taken When The DTC Sets

The switch command will be ignored until the switch command again changes state or the ignition cycles from OFF to RUN.

Conditions For Clearing The MIL/DTC

    • This DTC is changed from current to history when either of the following actions occur:
       - The window up input cycles off.
       - The power mode is changed from OFF to RUN.
    • The history DTC clears after 50 ignition cycles.
    • Use a scan tool in order to clear the history DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

    • A history DTC is evidence of an intermittent problem.
    • When DTC B2204 is current, cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.
        If the DTC is still present, perform the following diagnostic procedure.
