Driver Power Window Motor Circuit Short to Battery

What does this code mean?

Severity : Low

B1412 indicates a short to battery voltage on the driver power window motor circuit. This is a manufacturer-specific code, so the exact meaning depends on the manufacturer. The body or door module detects voltage on the circuit when there should be none.

Symptoms

  • Driver window not working or working poorly.
  • Window moving without being commanded in some cases.
  • Auto up or down function disabled.
  • Possible battery drain.

Possible causes

  • Damaged door harness in the rubber boot between door and body.
  • Faulty window switch.
  • Faulty window motor.
  • Water ingress into the door or connector.
  • Faulty door module.

Diagnosis and repair

  • Inspect the harness inside the door boot, a common spot for broken wires.
  • Check the switch and its connectors.
  • Measure motor circuit voltages with a multimeter, switch at rest and operated.
  • Repair the wiring or replace the faulty part.
  • Clear the code and reinitialise the auto window function if needed.
