Pinpoint Tests

Pinpoint Test E: The Power Seat Does Not Move Horizontally/Vertically/Recline - Driver, With Memory

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 123, Memory Seats for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The seat control switch supplies voltage and ground to the applicable Driver Seat Module (DSM) inputs. The DSM then supplies voltage and ground to the appropriate seat track motor or seat recliner motor to move the seat in the desired direction. There are 3 seat track motors that combine to move the seat horizontally (forward/backward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). The seat recliner mechanism uses a single motor to pivot the seat backrest forward and backward.

The following pinpoint test diagnoses a power seat with memory that does not operate or does not operate correctly. If the seat does not operate using the memory SET switch or operates in one second intervals, GO to Pinpoint Test F. Pinpoint Test F: The Memory Seat Does Not Operate Correctly - Motor(s) Operate In One Second Intervals or Memory Seat Recall No

B1663-B1731:





This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Seat control switch
- Seat track
- Seat recliner motor
- DSM



PINPOINT TEST E: THE POWER SEAT DOES NOT MOVE HORIZONTALLY/VERTICALLY/RECLINE - DRIVER, WITH MEMORY

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.

NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

NOTE: If a new DSM has been installed, all seat and power steering column (if equipped) soft stops must be reset. If a new seat track, recline motor or power steering column has been installed, only reset the soft stops for that component being installed new. To reset the soft stops, refer to Principles of Operation. Principles of Operation

NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the memory seat system. Poor battery condition may interfere with memory seat operation, even if vehicle starting is possible.
