by chance, is this after you've washed the car, or driven it in the rain? i have the same problem after a drive in a hard rain, or if i hit my driver door too hard with the pressure washer. what's happening is water is getting down into the driver door jamb and into the sensor, shorting it. the dealer needs to address this by insulating it better.

I had one on a 2002 just last week and it was the 1st time that I had encountered it...You are going to have to use the TECH2 to isolate which door is getting the false signal.It will display which door is ajar when actually closed...OR,you can remove both door panels and disconnect the door ajar switches.With the door adjar switches disconnected the message should go away(switch grounds the circuit when door is open).If the "door ajar" message is still there with switches disconnected ,you have a faulty BCM...The one I had was a faulty BCM...By the way,the door ajar switch is an integral part of the door jam lock assembly and requires replacing the whole lock.
