About B2223

B2223 is a generic (obd-ii standard) body diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the B-prefix family of codes, which covers body, interior, airbag, or comfort-electronics faults.

When B2223 is stored, the module has detected an electrical-circuit fault in the wiring, connector, or driver associated with the named component.

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.

Because B2223 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The body control module or driver door module monitors the power mirror drive circuits to detect faults in the mirror motors that control horizontal and vertical glass adjustment. DTC B2223 sets when the module detects a circuit fault on the driver side mirror drive output, such as an open circuit, a short to ground, a short to power, or a stalled motor that fails to draw the expected current. The mirror motors are reversible DC motors commanded via internal H bridge drivers that switch polarity to move the glass, and each drive output is monitored for the expected current signature when adjus...
