Before replacing the unit, try actuating the emergency frunck release a couple times followed by actually resetting the module via durametric...worked for me. May not need to replace the part. Good luck. If you've already solved this, sorry to resurrect!
I had an issue with mine after polishing the car! Threw loads of codes. I actually have a replacement here, part # 997.618.512.01, but never used it. Despite been told that I needed a new front control module, I cleared all the codes with my Durometric and they never came back and everything works fine.
Be aware that a replacement unit may need programming by the dealer to your vehicle. The replacement unit I bought from a dealer threw almost as many codes as the "faulty" one. After speaking to the dealer they informed me that it needed to be programmed to my vehicle.
Awesome! PhilD...great that this worked for you too...there are posts all over regarding folks paying $300-600 to replace these units after shining their cars!
