Lost Communication With “Door Window Motor B”
AI status
Completed
Completed
100%
Causes
- Damaged/loose connector at the door window motor or door module
- Broken, shorted or pinched wiring harness between the door and body control module (BCM)
- Failed door window motor or internal motor controller
- Blown fuse or poor power/ground to the motor/module
- Corrosion or water ingress in the door harness or connector
- CAN bus interruption (open, short to ground/Vbatt) or improper termination
Symptoms
- One door window does not operate or operates intermittently
- Related door/window functions (auto-up/down, anti-pinch) nonfunctional for that door
- One or more network-related warnings or multiple U-codes on scan tool
- No message/data from Door Window Motor B in vehicle network data stream
- Possible clicking/relay noises or no noise from the motor when commanded
What to check
- Record freeze frame and full scan of all modules; note related codes and module addresses
- Visually inspect door seals, connectors and harness at the affected door for damage/corrosion
- Check relevant fuses and relays (door/window circuits) for continuity and proper seating
- Check battery voltage and grounds before performing network checks
- With a scan tool, attempt to command the window and observe presence/absence of module responses
- Probe CAN High/Low at an accessible gateway/BCM and at the door module connector (if accessible)
Signal parameters
- CAN High and CAN Low voltages idle and dominant states at gateway/BCM and door module (compare to other doors)
- Presence and frequency of expected network message ID for Door Window Motor B (model-specific — use factory data)
- 12 V supply voltage to the motor/module with key on or during window operation
- Ground continuity to chassis ground from the motor/module connector
- Motor resistance (ohms) and operating/stall current draw compared to specification
- Window position sensor or switch feedback voltages (if fitted)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Verify the code and capture any related U- or B-codes; note freeze-frame data.
- Check battery voltage and key fuses/relays for the power circuit feeding the door/window motor and door module; repair as needed.
- Visually inspect the door harness and connector for damage, corrosion, water entry or broken pins; repair or replace connectors/harness as required.
- Using a scan tool, observe the network for messages from the door module/motor. If no messages, compare to a working door module (message IDs, frequency).
- Probe CAN_H and CAN_L at a known good node and at the door module connector while operating the windows. Look for correct idle voltages and proper dominant/recessive transitions.
- Check power and ground at the door motor/module connector with key ON and while commanding the window. If power/ground missing, trace back to fuse/relay/BCM.
- Measure motor coil resistance and current draw while commanding the window (bench test or apply 12 V temporarily) to determine motor/driver failure.
- If wiring, power and CAN bus are good but no communication, consider replacing the door module or motor controller. If multiple modules show communication faults, diagnose CAN bus termination and BCM/gateway.
- After repairs, clear codes, redo functional tests and monitor for reoccurrence. Use road/test cycle to verify intermittent faults are resolved.
Likely causes
- Connector wiring fault at the door (water, corrosion, chafing)
- Power/ground supply missing to the motor or door module (blown fuse, poor contact)
- Failed window motor or its integrated controller
- Local CAN bus wiring issue between door module and BCM
Fault status
Status
Lost communication with Door Window Motor B — module/message not detected on vehicle network; window function for that door may be inoperative.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.5-3.0 hours
