Circuit Description
The circuit for the passenger window switch on the LF door consists of the following components:
| • | The LH front power window switch assembly. |
| • | The simple bus interface (SBI). |
| • | The driver door module (DDM). |
The LH front power window switch is different from the other window switches. This switch contains an internal microprocessor. The LH front power window switch assembly reports all switch activity as SBI messages to the DDM. The diagnostic software for DTC B2215 is contained in the DDM. This program runs once every 300 milliseconds. Faults involving the DDM or the SBI may set other DTCs and affect the operation of the power door locks or the outside rearview mirrors.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC B2215 will be set current if the SBI messages from the LH front power window switch indicates that the switch has been in the DOWN 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 current only when the fault is present. While this DTC is current the DDM ignores actuation of the LH front power window switch.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | This DTC will set from current to history when the window DOWN 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. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | A history DTC is evidence of an intermittent condition. |
| • | If DTC B2215 is current, cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN. If the DTC is still current, perform the following diagnostic. |
