Circuit Description

The circuit for the RH rear door window switch consists of:

    • RH rear power window switch
    • RH rear door module (RRDM)
    • Simple bus interface (SBI)
    • Driver Door Module

The RH rear power window switch provides input to the RRDM. The RRDM reports all switch activity in the form of SBI messages to the driver door module. The actual diagnostic software program for DTC B3292 is contained within the driver door module and this diagnostic is run once every 300 milliseconds. Problems involving the driver door module or SBI may set other DTCs and affect the operation of the power door locks and outside rear view mirror.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

If the driver door module detects that the SBI messages from the RRDM show that the RH rear window express switch has been in the DOWN position for 15 continuous seconds, this DTC will be set current. This diagnostic will not run if either DTC B1982 (Battery Voltage High) or B1983 (Battery Voltage Low) are set current.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

This DTC is dynamic, and as such, is current only while the problem is present. While this DTC is current, the RRDM will ignore the actuation of the RH rear power window express switch.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • This DTC will be 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 the On-Board clearing DTC feature.
    • Use a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

    • A history DTC is evidence of an intermittent problem, clear the DTC and cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN. Then perform the diagnostic system check.
    • If DTC B3292 is current, cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN. If this DTC is still current, perform the following diagnostic.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:

  1. Perform the Power Door System Diagnostic System Check prior to diagnosis.

  2. Inspect the appropriate power window switch for an internal short.
