Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information CEM-DE45

Condition




The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the central electronic module (CEM) registers that communication with the passenger door module (PDM) is not operating.

Note! In the event of CEM-DEXX diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) being stored the central electronic module (CEM) must not be replaced; the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates a communication fault in the Control area network!

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed when the ignition has been on for at least 10 seconds.

Substitute value
- Limited functionality in the passenger door module (PDM) (Limp home).

Possible source
- Damaged fuse.
- No power supply to passenger door module (PDM)
- Open-circuit in the ground lead to the passenger door module (PDM)
- Contact resistance in the terminals
- Open-circuit in the wiring for the CAN low speed network to the passenger door module (PDM)
- The passenger door module (PDM) is not intended for this car (for example a used control module with different software/hardware).

Hint: If several diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored in the central electronic module (CEM) for communication faults with other control modules in the low speed network, this indicates a common fault in the Control area network, see the wiring diagram.

Fault symptom[s]
- Cannot be controlled using the central locking switch
- The passenger door switch panel does not work.
