The circuit for the passenger window switch on the driver door consists of the following components:
• | The left front power window switch assembly |
• | The simple bus interface (SBI) |
• | The driver door module (DDM) |
The left front power window switch is different from the other window switches. This switch contains an internal microprocessor. The window switch assembly reports all switch activity to the DDM. The diagnostic software for DTC B2216 is contained in the DDM. This diagnostic 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.
DTC B2216 will be set current if the simple bus interface (SBI) messages from the left front power window switch indicate that the 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.
This DTC is current only when the fault is present. While this DTC is current, the driver door module (DDM) will ignore actuation of the left front power window switch.
• | This DTC will be set from current to history when either of the following events occur: |
• | The window UP input cycles off. |
• | The ignition switch is cycled from OFF to RUN. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 50 cycles of the ignition switch. |
• | Use a scan tool in order to clear the history DTC. |
• | A history DTC is evidence of an intermittent problem. |
• | If DTC B2216 is current, cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN. If the DTC is still current, perform the following diagnostic. |
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
Perform the Power Door Diagnostic System Check prior to continuing the diagnosis of this DTC.
This step tests for other set DTCs.
This step test the operation of all of the power windows.
