Circuit Description
The simple bus interface, CKT 217 (LT BLU), provides a communications path from the LH power window switch to the driver door module (DDM). The DDM contains the following two types of software:
| • | Switch message decoding software |
| • | Simple bus interface diagnostic software |
The software enables the DDM to monitor the state of the LH front power window switch.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC B2217 will set any time one of the driver door power window switches is continuously closed in either UP or DOWN positions for a period greater than 15 seconds.
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 switch command will be ignored until it again changes state or the ignition cycles from OFF to RUN.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | This DTC will set from current to history when the window DOWN input cycles OFF or 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 a intermittent problem. |
| • | If DTC B2217 is current, cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN. If this DTC is still current, perform the following diagnostics. |
