A setting readout rather than a fault
On a Maytag countertop microwave, D1:_0 or D1:_1 simply reports whether the 2-step door function is switched on or off. The door is built to open in two steps so nobody gains unintended access. Where children cannot get at the microwave, that feature can be turned off.

Unplugging the microwave does not undo the choice, since it remembers the last setting.
E03 is a real fault, with the keypad reporting a problem to the control board.
E11 is also a fault, with the gas sensor reporting a problem to the control board.
