About B2353

B2353 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 B2353 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 B2353 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 driver door module controls the driver side power mirror motors by driving high side or low side power outputs that route motor current to the mirror motor windings for up, down, left, and right movement. DTC B2353 sets when the door module detects voltage on the mirror motor drive circuit being pulled to ground while the output is commanded active, indicating a short to ground on the power driver circuit. The module monitors output current and voltage during each commanded movement, and a short to ground typically causes immediate overcurrent shutdown of the output. When this code is set,...
