B1D6E
B1D6E-SEAT HORIZONTAL POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH
For a complete wiring diagram, consult the Wiring Information.
- When Monitored:
When the seat motor is activated (sensor supply Voltage is switched on whenever motor is activated).
- Set Condition:
If the sensor Voltage is not within a specified range and the seat switch is moved in the same direction three consecutive times.
1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using a scan tool, record and erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
3. Move the seat switch in the horizontal adjust position three times.
4. Using a scan tool, read DTCs.
Does the scan tool display DTC B1D6E-SEAT HORIZONTAL POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Verify seat harness is routed correctly. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Power Seat System Verification Test.
2. CHECK THE (G401) DRIVER SEAT HORIZONTAL POSITION SENSE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Driver Horizontal Seat Adjuster Motor connector.
3. Disconnect the MSM C3 connector.
NOTE: Check connectors. Clean and repair as necessary.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Measure the Voltage of the (G401) Driver Seat Horizontal Position Sense circuit between the Driver Horizontal Seat Adjuster Motor connector and ground.
Is there any Voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the (G401) Driver Seat Horizontal Position Sense circuit for a short to Voltage.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Power Seat System Verification Test.
No
- Go To 3
3. CHECK THE (G401) DRIVER SEAT HORIZONTAL POSITION SENSE CIRCUIT AND THE (G491) DRIVER SEAT HORIZONTAL SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FUNCTION
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Reconnect the MSM C3 connector.
3. Disconnect the scan tool.
4. Turn off all vehicle interior and exterior lighting.
5. Mark sure all doors are closed then wait 10 seconds.
6. Connect a 12-Volt test light connect between the (G401) Driver Seat Horizontal Position Sense circuit and the (G491) Driver Seat Horizontal Sensor Ground circuit at the Driver Horizontal Seat Adjuster Motor connector.
7. Move the seat switch in the horizontal adjust position then release the switch.
Does the test light illuminate for approximately five seconds then turn off?
Yes
- Replace the Seat Track Horizontal Motor Assembly.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Power Seat System Verification Test.
No
- Go To 4
4. CHECK THE (G401) DRIVER SEAT HORIZONTAL POSITION SENSE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Disconnect the MSM C3 connector.
NOTE: Check connectors. Clean and repair as necessary.
2. Measure the resistance of the (G401) Driver Seat Horizontal Position Sense circuit between the Driver Horizontal Seat Adjuster Motor connector and the MSM C3 connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the (G401) Driver Seat Horizontal Position Sense circuit for an open.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Power Seat System Verification Test.
5. CHECK THE (G491) DRIVER SEAT HORIZONTAL SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Measure the resistance of the (G491) Driver Seat Horizontal Sensor Ground circuit between the Driver Horizontal Seat Adjuster Motor connector and the MSM C3 connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Memory Seat Module (MSM).
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Power Seat System Verification Test.
No
- Repair the (G491) Driver Seat Horizontal Senor Ground circuit for an open.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Power Seat System Verification Test.
