Reason for change     Validity, complaint and symptom supplemented

Complaint:

Various function failures in the door control (only front doors affected):

^ Automatic window raising not possible

^ Power window cannot be normalized

^ Automatic fold in/out function of outside mirror faulty

^ Malfunction of central locking

^ Actuation of illumination in doors faulty

^ Malfunction of seat adjustment

Notes:

^ The fault memory of the door control unit (DCU-xF) may contain stored fault codes that are listed under "Control unit/fault code" (see below).

^ In the event of a complaint, the fault is continuously present.

Cause:

Waking of the door control units with a simultaneous voltage dip in the power supply (< 5 V) can cause the above function failures under certain circumstances.

Remedy:

1.     Perform reset of affected door control unit (unplug connector 3 at DCU-xF for approx. 20 seconds)

2.     Perform normalization of power window system.

3.     Erase fault memory.

4.     Check whether the fault was rectified by the reset.

=>     Fault not rectified: Continue with step 5.

=>     Fault rectified: Continue with step 6.

5.     Replace door control unit (DCU-xF).
