Circuit Description
The RH Door Control Module (RDCM) has two main power feeds (high and low), and one main ground. The low power feed (battery 1) is used to provide power for the RDCM logic and internal driver operation. The high power feed (battery 2) is used to provide power for systems that draw higher amounts of current (motors, lights etc.). For most functions, the RDCM will operate properly when vehicle system voltage is between 9.0-16.0 volts. The RDCM also monitors the voltage level at battery 1 and battery 2 circuits and can determine if the voltage level received is out of range. If the voltage level is out of range in either circuit , then a malfunction is present and a DTC will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The RDCM detects battery 1 voltage range under 8.5 volts or over 16.3 volts. |
| • | Condition must be present for 2 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores a history DTC B2283 in the RDCM memory. |
| • | This DTC can only be set as a history code even if the malfunction is current. |
| • | No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The RDCM detects battery 1 voltage range between 8.5-16.3 volts for longer than 2 seconds. |
| • | Use the IPC clearing DTCs feature. |
| • | Use a scan tool. |

1 | Did you perform the Engine Electrical Diagnostic System Check? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 |
Does the scan tool indicate that the Battery 1 parameter is within the specified range? | 9.0-16.3 V | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | Go to Step 3 |
3 | Test for a high resistance in the battery 1 positive voltage circuit of the RDCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the RDCM and the instrument panel electrical center. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Replace the RDCM. Refer to Door Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 6 | -- |
6 |
Does the DTC reset? | -- | Go to Step 2 | System OK |
