I have the following fault code and wanted to try and get a bit more information on what the cause and solution might be?

Car is a 2007 1.9 PD105 L&K Estate.

Address 62: Door, Rear Left Labels: 1K0-959-703-GEN3.lbl

Part No SW: 1K0 959 703 J HW: 1K0 959 703 J

Component: Tuer-SG 005 0907

Coding: 0000144

Shop #: WSC 73430 790 1012544

VCID: 37797D0646942CA0D0F

1 Fault Found:

01333 - Door Control Module; Rear Left (J388)

014 - Defective

1. What does the control module control?

2. Where is it located?

3. How can I find the part number to price up a replacement? I assume it's part No is as above: 1KO-959-703 J

Is it a case of replacing the unit or could it be a wiring fault?

I've physically checked the connections and everything is dry, dirt free and connected securely as it should be. Checked all the fuses and everything is good there too. The door windows and locks work perfectly and I cant see any problem at the moment.

If any one can offer any ideas on what the problem is I would appreciate your input.

Many Thanks

Does it come back if you clear the code?

It's the NSR window motor. The control unit is part of it. Given that it is reporting its part number, it is far more likely to be a defective unit that faulty wiring.

There is one on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-Octavia-NSR-Window-Motor-1K0-959-703-J-/320879325127?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ab5e5efc7

Code comes back when cleared but window works.

Thanks for the link rwb. At the price I think I will just order one and replace it anyway.

Skoda Dealer Price for part No: 1K0 959 703 J is £180 + Delivery

But there has been a few revisions as that part had a few problems so hopefully if you buy a new replacement motor you wont have the same problems.

The 'J' version is Gen3 and these seem to be pretty reliable. The control unit controls the door lock motors as well as the window.

Have you tried TPS for a price?

Have you tried a hard reset by dropping the power to the module ?

A code like this will usually not clear by removing power from the module nor will a diagnostic tool be able to clear it since it's either hard set at this point or will come up immediately again after a self test of the module. The question you have to ask here, do you have any actual issues other than the fault code? If not, you may as well live with it - most common is a minor/internal checksum error in the module which rarely effects functionality.

+1

...but be careful with this error, as I've seen several cars that randomly leave that door unlocked without any sign that it has happened.

Fair enough, but it most cases a hard reset of the controller by removing the power isn't likely to cause any issues, is something free to try for most users and sometimes can resolve issues.
