Circuit Description

The LH Front Power Window Switch receives an input from the memory function switch memory exit switch through a simultaneous memory 1 and memory 2 input when the button is pressed. The LH Front Power Window Switch recognizes the input and sends a message on the Simple Bus Interface (SBI) to the LH Front Door Module (LFDM) indicating that the memory exit button has been pressed. The LFDM then sends a message via the Class 2 Serial Data Line to the Memory Seat Module (MSM), the Steering Column Tilt/Telescoping Module (TTM), and the Radio (IRC) indicating that the memory exit button has been pressed.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    •  When the memory exit switch is active for 30 seconds continuously, the switch will be considered shorted and the DTC will set.
    • DTC B2242 will set only if DTC B1982 DDM or DTC B1983 DDM is not current.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The LFDM will no longer respond to memory exit switch inputs.
    • Because the memory exit button is an input on the memory 1 and memory 2 inputs to the LFDM, the memory 1 and memory 2 functions will no longer operate.
    • The LFDM will continue to respond to valid inputs from the other memory function switches.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The LFDM sees that the memory exit switch is no longer active.
    • Use the On-Boards clearing DTCs feature.
    • Use a scan tool.
