Door Module: Description and Operation
DRIVER DOOR MODULE
(DDM)
A Driver Door Module located on the drivers door trim panel, is used on all models equipped with power locks, power windows, andpower mirrors. The DDM can be serviced without removing the front door trim panel. The DDM houses the following switches:-
Power Lock Switch - The DDM includes a two-way momentary, resistor multiplexed switch to control the power lock system.
ĀPower Mirror Selector Switch - A three-position rocker switch in the DDM selects the right or left power mirror for adjustment, or turns thepower mirror system OFF.
ĀPower Mirror Adjustment Switches - Four momentary arrowhead shaped, directional switches allow the driver to adjust the selected powermirror in the Up, Down, Right, or Left directions.
-
Power Window Lockout Switch - A two-way latching, push-button switch in the DDM allows the vehicle operator to lock out the powerwindow switches on each passenger door so that the passenger door power windows may be operated only from the master switches in theDDM.
-
Power Window Switches - The DDM houses a two-way momentary power window switch for the driver side front door. This switch also has asecond detent in the Down direction and internal circuitry to provide an Auto-Down feature for the driver side front door power window. Inaddition to the power window switch for its own door, the DDM houses individual master switches for each passenger door power window.
(LEDs)
The DDM also incorporates several green Light- Emitting Diodes that illuminate the power lock and power window switch paddles, andthe power mirror switch directional buttons. The DDM cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire DDM unit must bereplaced.
The Driver Door Module (DDM) combines a power lock switch, a driver power window switch with an Auto-down feature, master switches foreach passenger door power window, a power window lockout switch, a power mirror selector switch, and four power mirror adjustment switchesin a single unit. The switches in the DDM can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
Power Lock Switch
(CTM)
(JB)
The DDM power lock switch circuitry is connected in series between ground and the driver door switch mux input of the Central Timer Module . Each power lock switch position (Lock, Unlock, and Neutral) provides a different resistance value to the CTM input, which allows theCTM to sense the switch position. Based upon the power lock switch input, the CTM controls the battery and ground feed outputs to the individualpower lock motors to lock or unlock the door and liftgate latches. The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the DDM power lock switch is connected tobattery current through the power window circuit breaker in the Junction Block on a fused ignition switch output (RUN/ACC) circuit so thatthe switch will be illuminated whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or Accessory positions.
Power Window Switches
The DDM power window switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB) on a fused ignitionswitch output (RUN/ACC) circuit so that the power windows will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or Accessory positions. Eachtwo-way, momentary master passenger power window switch in the DDM provides battery current and ground to the individual power windowswitches on each passenger door so that the power window switch controls the battery current and ground feeds to its respective power windowmotor. The DDM switch for the driver side front door power window is labeled with the text "Auto" and includes an auto-down feature. When thisswitch is depressed to a second momentary detent position and released, the driver door power window is automatically operated through aninternal circuit and relay to its fully lowered position. The Auto-down event is cancelled if the switch paddle is depressed a second time in eitherthe Up or Down direction. When the two position window lockout switch in the DDM is depressed and latched in the lockout position, the batterycurrent feed to each of the individual passenger power window switches is interrupted so that the passenger door power windows can only beoperated from the master switches in the DDM. The window lockout switch also controls the battery current feed for the LED in each passengerpower window switch so that the switch will not be illuminated when it is locked out.
