About B1411

B1411 is a manufacturer-specific body diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the B-prefix family of codes, which covers body, interior, airbag, or comfort-electronics faults.

When B1411 is stored, the module has detected an open (broken or disconnected) electrical path in the monitored circuit.

Scanning & clearing: Body (B) codes are often stored in the body control module, airbag module, or climate module. A basic OBD-II tool usually will not read body codes — an enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is typically required.

B1411 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

The Body Control Module (BCM) or Door Control Module (DCM) controls power window operation through the driver master switch, supplying battery voltage to the window motor and monitoring current draw during each run cycle. DTC B1411 is set when the module commands the window motor to operate and detects an open circuit, characterised by zero current draw on the motor feed circuit when current is expected. This is most often caused by a broken wire inside the door boot at the A pillar, a disconnected or backed out motor connector, an open winding in the motor armature, or worn out motor brushes ...
