Overview
Door control module (in WIS) or Electric Seat Adjuster Switch (in EPC) is ... When looking for part in catalogues, you may need to add 7C45 to end of part number (e.g., A22082106587C45).
Functionality
The door control module in itself is a pretty dumb device. All key presses are sent over CANBUS to SAM. SAM then broadcasts message to all modules and module which understands the message acts appropriately (whether lighting up some bulb, engaging seat heating, moving seat, etc.).
DCM is responsible for:
- External mirror:
- Lighting up mirror turn signal light
- Lighting up mirror courtesy light
- Mirror heating
- Mirror angle altering
- Mirror fold-in
- Receiving signal from infrared receiver
- Engaging door power close
- Opening door window
- Receiving signal from window control switch
- receiving signal from trunk open switch
- Receiving signal from mirror control switch
- Powering door handle LED
- Powering door courtesy light
- Receiving signal from seat regulation switch
Location
In door panel hold by plastic clips.
Connectors
Seat ventilation
Seat ventilation functionality does not depend on DCM. Appropriate buttons are not part of DCM and can be bought separately.
-
A2208210358 -- Heated seat button for left DCMs.
-
A2208210458 -- Heated seat button for right DCMs.
-
A2208210558 -- Heated and ventilated seat button for left DCMs.
-
A2208210658 -- Heated and ventilated seat button for right DCMs.
Memory seats
Memory seat function is determined by DCM itself. Even more, by controls board.
It has been tested that vehicle originally equipped with DCM A2208214179 in drivers doors can be replaced with DCM A2208211579 and memory seats will work out of the box. To mount DCM with memory buttons appropriate door panel with holes for memory buttons must be mounted. Alternatively, if memory functionality is not needed, one can replace front control board connected by wire with control board from A2208214179.
Using right hand drive DCM in left hand drive vehicle
It has been tested that RHD DCM A2208212179 installed on left side of LHD vehicle originally equipped with A2208214179 will work fine, however, the mirror controlling switch will not work and window controlling switch will be able open only driver's door window. Similarly, RHD DCM A2208211879 installed on left side of LHD vehicle originally equipped with A2208214979 will work fine, however, the window opening switch will open left side driver's door window.
Using left DCM on the right side
The physical location of DCM is programmed into DCM. E.g., if left DCM is connected to right side, the DCM will still move left seat.
Using pre-facelift DCM in facelift vehicle
Has not been tested.
