Circuit Description
The RH door switch circuit provides input to the RH Door Control Module (RDCM) when the RH window switch is pressed UP or DOWN. This input allows the RDCM to detect a RH window UP or DOWN request. The RDCM provides both power and ground to the window switches. When the RH window up or down switch is pressed, a ground is supplied through the RH window switch to the RH window switch signal which is pulled low. When the RDCM detects low voltage on the RH window up or down switch input, the RDCM will command the RH window in the UP or DOWN direction. When the switch is released the RDCM will command the RH window to stop (window express down feature not activated). The RDCM monitors both the RH window switch signal circuits and determines how long a ground (switch pressed) has been applied. If the ground is applied for longer than expected, a malfunction is present and a DTC will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The RDCM detects a low voltage level (short to ground) at the RH window up switch signal circuit. |
| • | Condition must be present for 20 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores a history DTC B2203 in the RDCM memory. |
| • | This DTC can only be set as a history code even if the malfunction is current. |
| • | No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The RDCM no longer detects a low voltage level (short to ground) at the RH window up switch signal circuit for longer than 20 seconds. |
| • | Use the IPC clearing DTCs feature. |
| • | Use a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction: |
| - | There is an intermittent short to ground in the RH window up switch signal circuit. |
| - | The RH window up switch is shorted to ground internally or is sticking. |
| - | The RH window up switch was pressed for longer than 20 seconds. |
| • | If RH window up switch signal circuit is shorted to ground or the RH window up switch is stuck closed, the RH window will remain up at all times. |
| • | Using a scan tool, select RDCM inputs and monitor the Passenger Window Up Switch status. If the scan tool displays ACTIVE, disconnect the RH window switch and check if the Passenger Window Up Switch status changes to INACTIVE. If the Passenger Window Up Switch changed, then replace the RH window switch. If the Passenger Window Up Switch status did not change, then check RH window up switch signal circuit for a short to ground. |
| • | If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, then the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while moving related wiring and connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to occur. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections . |
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
-
Tests for the normal state of the RH window up switch using a scan tool. The scan tool will display the normal state as INACTIVE, and ACTIVE when the switch is activated.
-
Tests if the RH DCM is able to detect a change in RH window up switch state. The scan tool will display the normal state as INACTIVE, and ACTIVE when the switch is activated.
-
Tests for a stuck or shorted RH window up switch. If the RH window up switch is stuck or shorted, the state will change from ACTIVE to INACTIVE when the RH window up switch is disconnected.
-
Tests for a short to ground in the RH window up switch signal circuit.
