About B2244

B2244 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 B2244 is stored, the module has detected a short-circuit (voltage pulled to ground or to supply) 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.

Because B2244 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 (BCM) monitors the driver sliding door ajar switch circuit to determine whether the door is open or closed. DTC B2244 is set when the BCM detects the ajar signal circuit shorted to ground, meaning the input is being pulled low when the door is closed and the BCM expects a normal pulled high state. The ajar switch is typically integrated into the sliding door latch assembly and reports back to the BCM via a dedicated signal wire that runs through the flexible loop or roller harness between the body and the sliding door. When this code is set, the BCM will continuously th...
