B3962

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The seat adjuster motors are controlled by the driver seat module through the adjuster motor control circuits. In an inactive state both of the motor control circuits are grounded within the driver seat module. In an active state the driver seat module switches the appropriate motor control circuit to battery positive voltage. The direction of the adjuster motor rotation is determined by which of the motor control circuits is switched to battery positive voltage while the other remains grounded. During adjuster motor operation the driver seat module also monitors the current flow through the motor control circuits.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The system voltage must be between 9.0-16.0 volts.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
A motor control circuit current monitored by the driver seat module is determined to be shorted to ground.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The driver seat module will disable the affected adjuster motor.
- When the fault is no longer present, a history DTC will be stored in the driver seat module and motor operation will be restored.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
- When the fault is no longer present the DTC will be a history status code.
- The history DTC will be cleared after 100 error free ignition cycles, or by using the scan tool clearing DTCs feature.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
When an adjuster motor control circuit is shorted to ground the driver seat module will also set a DTC for the affected motor.
