Driver Door Module (DDM): Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage may result.
NOTE:
Prior to the replacement of the driver door module (DDM), it is necessary to upload the module configuration information to the appropriate scan tool. This information must be downloaded into the new DDM after installation. For additional information, preform MODULE CONFIGURATION
article.
NOTE:
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) functionality is integral to the DDM.
NOTE:
The steps included in the DDM removal and installation procedure are critical to restoring the vehicle security and tire pressure monitoring systems to normal operation. A new DDM is delivered in a manufacturing mode with 6 pre-set DTCs related to the TPMS. To clear the DTCs, successful configuration of the DDM must occur, followed by successful TPMS sensor training, and a successful self-test, including clearing of the DTCs. The DTCs are as follows:
- B2477 (Module Configuration Failure)
- B2868 (Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
- B2869 (Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
- B2870 (Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
- B2871 (Left Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
- C2780 (ECU in Manufacturer Sub-State)
- Upload the module configuration information from the DDM into the scan tool. For additional information, preform MODULE CONFIGURATION article.
- Remove the driver door trim panel. For additional information, preform INTERIOR TRIM & ORNAMENTATION article.
- Disconnect the 3 DDM electrical connectors.
- Remove the bolt and the DDM.
NOTE:
Only if a new DDM is being installed will this step be necessary.
