Circuit Description

The circuit for the passenger window switch on the driver 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 power window switches, as the switch contains an internal microprocessor. The LH front power window switch assembly reports all switch activity as SBI messages to the DDM. The actual diagnostic software for DTC B2213 is contained in the DDM. Faults involving the DDM or the SBI may set other DTCs and affect the operation of the power door locks and the outside rearview mirrors.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • All modules involved in the circuit must be powered
    • No module involved in the circuit may have B1982 (battery voltage high) or B1983 (battery voltage low) set as a current DTC.
    • All modules involved in the circuit must be communicating (no current communication DTC set).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B2213 is set current if the SBI messages from the LH front power window switch indicates that the passenger window 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

While this DTC is current the DDM will ignore 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.
    • The history DTC will clear after 50 cycles of the ignition switch.

Diagnostic Aids
    • A history DTC is evidence of an intermittent fault.
    • If the DTC is current, cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN. If the DTC is still current, perform the following test.

Test Description

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

  1. Check the module input state using the normal input status.

    2.

  2. Check to see that the input is seen by the module.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, observe the Driver Window Switch parameter for the appropriate window switch in the driver door module (DDM) data list.

Does the scan tool display Idle?

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 4

4

Inspect for poor connections/terminal tension at the driver door window switch harness connector. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?
