Power Window Control Module Internal Fault
There's a problem inside the power window control module.
Heads up: this code wasn't in our hand-written library yet, so DiagCoach AI built this page on the fly. Double-check critical specs against service info before condemning parts.
What it means (plain English)
The power window control module is not working properly. This could mean a malfunction or failure within the module's internal circuitry that can prevent the power windows from functioning.
What the computer is actually seeing
The control module detects abnormal operation parameters or inconsistent signals within its own circuits.
What a healthy reading looks like
Module should maintain power supply of 12V when operational, and respond to input switch signals within 50 milliseconds.
Guided diagnostic — the DiagCoach way
Don't just throw parts at it. Walk through these in order — each step tells you whether to keep going or stop and fix what you found.
- 1Check all wiring and connectors for physical damage or corrosion.
- 2Verify the power supply to the power window control module; expect 12V.
- 3Inspect the window switch for continuity; a good switch should read close to 0 ohms when pressed.
- 4Perform a module reset and see if the code returns to confirm module failure.
- 5If the code returns after all checks, replace the power window control module.
Common causes
- Faulty power window control module
- Corrosion or damage to module connectors
- Electrical short or open in circuit
- Faulty window switch
- General wiring issues in the door harness

Will this code come back after clearing?
If the underlying issue isn't addressed, yes, you'll likely see it again.
Why would this code pair with other codes?
Issues with the window system can affect multiple modules; problems with connectors or wiring may trigger diagnostic trouble codes in multiple areas.
