DTC B2206 RR Window Switch Stuck in UP


Object Number: 324028  Size: MF
Power Door Systems Components
Cell 120: Rear Power Window Components
Handling ESD Sensitive Parts Notice

Circuit Description

The circuit for the RR door power window switch consists of the following components:

    • The RH rear power window switch.
    • The rear door module (RDM).
    • The simple bus interface (SBI).
    • The driver door module (DDM).

The RH rear power window switch provides input to the RDM. The RDM reports all switch activity in the form of SBI messages to the DDM. The diagnostic software for the DTC B2206 is contained in the DDM. The diagnostic program is run no less than once every 300 milliseconds. Faults involving the DDM or the SBI may set other DTCs and affect the operation of the power door locks and the outside mirrors.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B2206 is set current if the SBI messages from the RDM indicate that the RH rear power window switch has been in the UP position for 15 consecutive seconds. This diagnostic will not run if either DTC B1982 (battery voltage high) or DTC B1983 (battery voltage low) are set current.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

This DTC is dynamic and is current only when the fault is present. While DTC B2206 is current, the RDM will ignore actuation of the RH rear power window switch.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • This DTC will set from current to history when the window UP 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 the history DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

    • A history DTC is evidence of an intermittent problem.
    • If DTC B2206 is current, cycle the ignition from OFF to RUN. If the DTC is still current, perform the following diagnostic.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
