What does it mean?
B1905 is a Body (airbags, seat belts, body electronics) fault code. It indicates: Immobilizer-Keyless Control Unit Lost Communication with Driver's MPCS Unit (DRLOCKSW Message) .
Symptoms
- Keyless entry and remote locking do not respond at the driver door, or work only from the passenger side
- Driver door lock switch does nothing, while other doors still lock from their own switches
- Window, mirror and lock controls in the driver door panel all stop working together
- Security indicator behaves abnormally and the alarm may not arm or disarm
- Fault can be intermittent and appears while the door is being opened or closed
Likely causes
- Broken conductor in the wiring that flexes inside the driver door jamb boot every time the door is opened
- Water damaged driver door multiplex unit after a door membrane or window seal leak
- Corroded or loose door jamb connector between the body and the door
- Blown fuse or open power feed to the driver door module
- Poor ground connection for the door module inside the door shell
- Communication line shorted to ground, to power or to the other bus wire
- Failed driver door module or failed immobiliser and keyless control unit
How to fix it
- Scan all modules and note which ones respond, since a whole door module missing points at its power, ground or bus connection
- Check the fuse and measure supply voltage and ground quality directly at the driver door module connector
- Peel back the rubber jamb boot and inspect the loom carefully, flexing each wire while measuring continuity to find broken strands inside intact insulation
- Inspect the jamb connector for green corrosion, water and pushed back terminals
- Check the communication line for continuity between the door module and the keyless control unit, and for shorts to ground and power
- Look for water damage on the door module circuit board and for a saturated door membrane above it
- Replace the door module if it is water damaged or fails to communicate on a good supply, then the keyless control unit as the final step
