B3205




DTC B3205

Circuit Description

The driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) check for hall sensor pulses and relay feedback of their respective window motors at least once every 50 milliseconds. When the DDM or PDM detects no hall sensor pulses or relay feedback in the window motor, a DTC is set.

DTC B3205 Left Front/Driver Window Motor Circuit

Conditions for Setting the DTC
^ The DDM or PDM detects no hall sensor pulses or relay feedback in the power window motor.
^ Battery voltage must be 9.0-16.0 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ Stores DTC B3205 in DDM or PDM memory.
^ Loss of normalization.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ The DDM or PDM no longer detects a current DTC B3205 in DDM or PDM memory, and:
^ The DTC is cleared using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
^ The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
- There is an intermittent sticking or binding condition on a window causing the window to be unable to move.
- A window motor is shorted internally.
^ If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, then the problem may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

Test Description
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
2. Tests the window for a sticking or binding condition.
