Circuit Description

The switch that failed and generated this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is part of the driver door module (DDM) or the passenger door module (PDM). When a switch is activated, the DDM/PDM then either actuates the appropriate component or sends a message over the serial data link to the appropriate module to actuate the appropriate component.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC B1023 Integral Switch Performance

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • System voltage is between 9-16 volts.
    • Ignition switch is in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

If the DDM or the PDM receives multiple inputs from a single switch at the same time for more then 160 milliseconds, the DDM/PDM sets the DTC. The following switches will set this DTC:

    • The door lock switch
    • The power window switch
    • The window lockout switch
    • The mirror select switch

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The DDM/PDM ignores the continuous inputs from the switch. The DDM/PDM will not respond to the invalid inputs as a command for the component. The DDM/PDM will respond to all other valid switch inputs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

When the switch input status changes, the DDM/PDM clears this current DTC and stores the DTC as a history DTC. The history DTC will clear either after 50 ignition switch cycles without a repeated failure or in response to a scan tool command.
