Door control module (in WIS) or Electric Seat Adjuster Switch (in EPC) is electrical part responsible for several tasks. When looking for part in catalogs, you may need to add color code to end of the 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
Power for driver side front DCM is controlled by fuse X.
Location
DCM is located in door trim held by plastic clips.

Connectors
Seat Adjustment
The seat adjustment switches are located on the front doors.
- Head restraint height
- Seat height
- Seat cushion tilt
- Seat cushion depth
- Seat fore and aft adjustment
- Seat backrest tilt
Vehicles equipped with option code (?) have adjustable seats also for rear seats.
Vehicles equipped with option code 247 have two additional buttons on rear DCM behind front passenger seat, which can be used to adjust from back front passenger seat.
Mirror Adjustment
- Driver’s side exterior rear view mirror button
- Passenger-side exterior rear view mirror button
- Adjustment button
Mirror adjustment switch is not part of DCM, but connects to it.
Seat heating and ventilation
All W220s are equipped with seat heating feature for front seats.
Seat heating has three modes:
- Rapid heating (two lamps on)
- Normal heating (one lamp on)
- No heating (lamps off)
The system switches from the rapid heating mode to normal heating mode after approximately five minutes. The seat heating will be automatically switched off after approximately 30 minutes.
Vehicles with option code 401 are equipped also with the seat ventilation feature.
The blue indicator lamps on the switch show the ventilation level selected.
Seat ventilation can be activated manually with the SmartKey in starter switch position 1 or 2.
The driver's seat ventilation can be activated to the highest level automatically by the summer opening feature.
Rear seats are usually not heated or ventilated unless vehicle is equipped with option code 402.
Note: If one or all of the lamps on the seat ventilation switch are flashing, there is insufficient voltage since too many electrical consumers are switched on. The seat ventilation and heating switches off automatically. The seat ventilation and heating will switch back on again automatically as soon as sufficient voltage is available.
Door control module buttons
Seat ventilation functionality does not depend on the specific DCM used. Appropriate buttons are not part of DCM and can be bought separately.

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.
