Default Code P1691

I used my friends obdII and this is the code came up . It read something computer malfunction to the auxillary outputs. Anyone know what that means? Is the computer the thing under the drivers seat. Also i cleared the code but still my window does not work but my passenger works fine.

P1691 -- Check Engine Malfunction Indication light (MIL) - Open Circuit
Potential causes: Open circuit - Break in wiring (or the bulb is out)

bulb is out? There is one bulb dead in my headlight but that wouldn't make the window not work though?

The Check Engine Light bulb could be out (i.e. open circuit).

the whole point is the driver's window stopped working out of the blue then I installed a reg/motor and only to find the window still doesn't work. I had my friend come over and used his obdII in which that code came up. The bulb being out would not cause the window to not work but the passenger to operate normal. Where are the circuits for windows

loren,


I checked the bulb was out but when i went to change it the light still didn't light up. Is there a relay? for the windows i can check or a fuse for the check engine light? Give some kind of hints please

i got an appointment monday but just want to have a heads up on what it could be if you don't mind. I am not going to try to fix it but i also don't want to get killed or taken from a mechanic for more then it should be.
