Fault code 1737: Diagnosis/troubleshooting

NOTE: Visual inspection: In the next troubleshooting section, please check first that the affected pins on the passenger's door control module plug connection are neither damaged nor corroded. The wiring and plugs of the affected components must also be checked for external damage and correct contacts. Repair damaged or corroded pins if possible, otherwise replace affected pins. Repair or replace damaged wires.
NOTE: Sporadic faults: In the event of faults that occur sporadically, the wiring positions that are linked to moving parts on and in the vehicle must be checked for each system. Various statuses that can cause faults must be simulated with the help of the wiring diagram.
NOTE: Battery voltage: A battery voltage of between 11.4 ...14.5 V is required for the following troubleshooting procedure. This must be checked and provided, if necessary. On the vehicle electrical system, the voltage to the fuse (input side) must be guaranteed.
NOTE: 'Implausible signal' → The fault is detected if the resistance between plug B, pins 4 and 5 remains unchanged for more than 1.5 seconds during memory activation.
WORK INSTRUCTION CHART

Work instruction Display OK If not OK
1 Check operation of adjustment motor for passenger's door mirror
  • Change vertical position of passenger's door mirror using mirror adjustment switch.
Go to step 2 => Check for fault code 940.
2 Check vertical potentiometer in passenger's door mirror adjustment motor
  • Switch off ignition.
  • Remove adjustment motor for passenger's door mirror.
