Circuit/System Description

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

Conditions for Running the DTC
