The Driver Door Module (DDM) and Passenger Door Module (PDM) scan tool data definitions are a brief description of each of the moveable window related parameters displayed within the scan tool data lists for the DDM and PDM.

Base Software P/N

This is the part number stored within the PDM of the base software set required to activate the PDM. This software set is often referred to as boot software.

Base Software Suffix

This suffix number is the stored indication of the revision level of the base software.

Battery 1 (Low Current)

The battery 1 (low current) parameter provides the voltage level on the battery 1 input. Battery 1 is the low current input provides the power for the PDM's microprocessors and the low current outputs.

Battery 2 (High Current)

The battery 2 (high current) parameter provides the voltage level on the battery 2 input. Battery 2 is the high current input provides the power for the PDM's high current outputs such as the power windows.

Calibration P/N

This is the part number stored within the PDM of the calibration set. The calibration software sets the operational ranges and option levels for each of the PDM's functions. This software set is often referred to as calibration software or calibration.

Calibration Suffix

This suffix number is the stored indication of the revision level of the calibration. This is often referred to as the CAL ID.
