Test X: DTC C1948 - Front Driver's Seat Track Position Switch Circuit Resistance out of Range

PINPOINT TEST X: DTC C1948 - FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT TRACK POSITION SWITCH CIRCUIT RESISTANCE OUT OF RANGE


X1-X2:






X3-X5:






NOTE: Due to the seat track position sensor being a Hall-effect type sensor, this pinpoint test will be diagnosing a current out of range fault instead of the current diagnostic trouble code (DTC) definition for a resistance out of range fault.

Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the driver seat track position sensor circuits. If the RCM detects a current out of range condition, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1948 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

Possible Causes
A driver seat track position sensor circuit resistance out of range fault can be caused by:
- damaged wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulty driver seat track position sensor.
- RCM is faulted.
