Circuit Description

The LH front power window switch receives inputs from the memory function switch EXIT switch through simultaneous memory 1 and memory 2 inputs when you press the EXIT button. The LH front power window switch recognizes the input and sends a message on the simple bus interface (SBI) to the driver door module (DDM).

The message indicates that the LH front power window switch received a memory exit input. The DDM then relays the message through the class 2 serial data line to the Memory Seat Module (MSM).

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • DTC DDM B2242 sets when the EXIT switch is active for 30 seconds continuously.
    • DTCs B1982 (Battery Voltage High) and B1983 (Battery Voltage Low) must not be current or the diagnostic will not run.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The DDM will not respond to memory EXIT inputs.
    • The following buttons will not respond because the memory exit button is an input on the memory 1 and memory 2 inputs to the LH front power window switch:
       - The MEMORY-1 button
       - The MEMORY-2 button

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • This DTC will set from current to history when the EXIT input cycles off or when the power mode changes from OFF to RUN.
    • The history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.
    • Use a scan tool in order to clear a history DTC.
