Driver Door Module (DDM)






Diagnostic functions, driver's door module (DDM)

General
The control module has a built-in diagnostic system, Volvo Diagnostic, which continuously monitors internal functions as well as input and output signals.

Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
The control module will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) if it detects a fault. The driver's door module can store up to 10 diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Should a fault disappear for any reason after being permanently stored in the control module as a diagnostic trouble code (DTC), the information remains stored in the control module.

Reading and erasing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) can only be erased once all the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) have been read off at least once.

Reading off input and output signals
This function can be used to continuously read off the values and status of the control module's input and output signals.
The key must not be in the ignition when reading off the status of the door mirror lamp.

No customer related programming is available in the control module.

Reading off the control module identification
The diagnostic tool identifies control modules by reading off a number of codes from the control module memory.
The codes contain information about the control module:
- hardware P/N (control module without software)
- hardware serial number (control module without software)
- software P/N
- diagnostic software P/N.
