PPT CI ABS MODULE DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
P166B:11 Drivers Door Status Correlation: Short to Ground This DTC sets when the hard-wired driver door ajar switch circuit is shorted to ground.
P166B:12 Drivers Door Status Correlation: Short to Battery This DTC sets when the hard-wired driver door ajar switch circuit is shorted to voltage.
P166B:64 Drivers Door Status Correlation: Signal Plausibility Failure The ABS module also receives a driver door ajar message from the BCM and compares the hard-wired door ajar input to the message. If the hard-wired switch state does not match the message and DTC P166B:11 or P166B:12 is not set, then this DTC sets.
NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.
