Circuit Description
The switch that set this DTC, and its circuits, are buit into the LH Front Power Window Switch assembly. When the Rear Window Lockout Switch is activated, the LH front power window switch assembly, which has an internal microprocessor, processes the lockout switch input, and then reports the switch activity in the form of a Simple Bus Interface (SBI) to the driver door module. If the driver door module determines that conditions are correct for rear window lockout to be allowed, it then sends a SBI message to both rear door modules to not allow the rear windows to be operated from the rear door window switches.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | When the Rear Window Lockout Switch is active for 30 seconds continuously, the switch will be considered shorted and the DTC will set. |
| • | DTC B3203 will set only if DTC B1982 DDM or DTC B1983 DDM is not current. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The driver door module will no longer respond to Rear Window Lockout Switch inputs. Each rear door window will remain operational from its respective rear door window switch. |
| • | The driver door module will continue to respond to valid inputs for other window functions. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The driver door module sees that the Rear Window Lockout Switch is no longer active. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present. |
| • | Use the On-Boards clearing DTCs feature. |
| • | Use a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | A history DTC is evidence of a intermittent problem and may be caused by a sticking switch. |
| • | If DTC B3203 is current, cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN. If this DTC is still current, perform the following diagnostic. |
