Volvo models this fault code applies to
Applies to the following models:

What does this fault code mean?
The driver door module supplies the motor of the electrically folding driver-side mirror, which is used both for adjustment and for folding in. The fault is stored when the current on the output is too high, because the supply wire has contact with ground, or because of moisture and oxidation in the connections. Neither folding nor electric adjustment of the mirror then works.
Possible causes
- The supply wire is short-circuited to ground
- Moisture and/or oxidation in the connections
What you can do
- 1Check that the fuses for the mirrors are intact
- 2Try adjusting the mirror sideways and upward and folding it in, and see which functions work
- 3Inspect the cable to the mirror for chafing and pinching
- 4Use a multimeter to check that the wire to the mirror motor has no contact with ground
- 5Check the connectors in the door and at the mirror base for moisture and oxidation
- 6If the fault remains, have a workshop with diagnostic equipment check the control module and the mirror motor
Symptoms you may notice2
- The mirror cannot be folded in
- The mirror cannot be adjusted electrically
