The U1064 code is being flagged for both the left (LDCM) and the right (RDCM) door control modules.

The module sends a "health warning every 2 seconds. When no signal is received the DTC is set.

As a first step I'd reset the code on the DIC. U codes can be caused by power/battery spikes. It may reset and clear the problem.

If not try the connector in the door jamb to make sure its seated properly. If not there's probably a snag with the module. That said, both flags for both door modules at the same time is unusual.

Thank you for the quick answer. This dam problem is playing a cat and mouse game. Sometimes it does it other times does not do it at all. Makes it a difficult fix for the dealer.

Do both codes set at the same time?

Not sure about that I just ran codes and noticed it. Also the passenger side window has gone down by it's self when pulling into the garage. Maybe faulty door control modules?

The codes are definitely for the door control modules. What I cant work out is why both would throw codes at the same time. They are powered independently. Often one goes bad and you have problems on that side. At other times its the connector in the door hinge. That way only one module should be affected and only one side go bad. If both are throwing codes it suggests its upstream of the modules where the two functions come together.

The drivers door module is grounded at G201, pax at G202. Worth cleaning them I'd say.

Fuses are 30/31(right) 33/34 (left) on the pax panel.

I'd also check the connectors in the door hinge for a good connection. It could be both causing problems at the same time I guess.

Sounds like a faulty actuator or door module. a light test in the two connections should be run .Cleaning them as or how? or replace them?

The power feeds straight to the door modules via seperate fuses. They are 2 independent circuits. It could be both door modules bad at the same time but that would be unusual. I'd come back to the fact that U codes normally seem to be power related namely a spike or loss of power. thats why I think its more likely to be grounds or connectors.

Pull back the rubber gaiter in the door hinge and pull the blue connectors apart. Spray them with electrical cleaner and reseat them firmly. See it that fixes it. If not, check the two grounds for corrosion and if necessary clean them up then see how you go.

All that said, it could be 2 bad modules.

Got the car back today with new left and right door modules. The locks work great. They open and close with more force than before. So far so good I'm happy. Thanks for your help.Greg
