B3172 CADILLAC Description

  This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is generated by a passenger door window switch or a passenger door window switch circuit. Each passenger door window switch is mounted to the trim panel of the appropriate passenger door. The circuits and contacts of each passenger door window switch receive battery voltage and ground from the corresponding door module, i.e. Front Passenger Door Module (PDM), Left Rear Door Module (LRDM), or Right Rear Door Module (RRDM). When a passenger door window switch is operated, the switch contacts close and the associated door module interprets the flow of voltage as a specific request to move the window up or down. If conditions are correct for window operation to occur, the door module then powers the associated window motor and circuits to move the window.
