- Driver Door Open Switch Circuit Not Plausible

DTC B297C 5A

- Passenger Door Open Switch Circuit Not Plausible

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The keyless entry control module supplies a 12V signal to the driver and passenger door open switch signal circuits. The driver window motor

supplies a 12V signal to the driver door ajar switch signal circuit. The passenger window switch supplies a 12V signal to the passenger door ajar

switch signal circuit. The door open switches and the door ajar switches are integral to each door latch assembly.

The door open switch and the door ajar switch contacts will be open with the door is fully closed, the door switches within the door latch are

designed so that the when the door is ajar, the contact in the door ajar switch closes and the window motor will then send a serial data message to

the BCM indicating that the door is ajar. When the door is opened further, the contact in the door open switch will then close providing a ground

for the door open signal circuit, the keyless entry control module will then detect that the door is open.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage is between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B297B 5A

* The keyless entry control module detects the driver door open switch is Active while receiving a serial data message from the BCM that the

driver door ajar switch is Inactive.

* The condition must be present for greater than 2 seconds

B297C 5A

* The keyless entry control module detects the passenger door open switch is Active while receiving a serial data message from the BCM that

the passenger door ajar switch is Inactive.

* The condition must be present for greater than 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

B297B 5A
