WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The DDM uses the SCP communications network. The DDM, instrument cluster, and the LCM share the SCP communications network termination responsibilities. The SCP communications bus may remain operational when one of the termination resistors is not present.

The module controls functions of the power seats, power windows, power locks, and remote keyless entry (RKE). If equipped, both the DDM and LCM communicate to control the perimeter alarm functions.

Check the SCP communications network circuits between the DDM C501a and the DLC C251. The total resistance values must not be more than 5 ohms. If the resistance is more than 5 ohms, there is an open circuit in the SCP communications network, damage to the DLC C251, or damage to the DDM C501a.
