Pinpoint Test F: The Power Seat Does Not Move Horizontally/Vertically - Passenger

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Set 120, Power Seats for schematic and connector information. Electrical Diagrams

Normal Operation

The passenger seat control switch is supplied battery voltage and ground. When pressed, the seat control switch supplies that voltage and ground to a power seat track motor to move the seat. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to that same power seat track motor, which moves the seat in the opposite direction. There is a power seat track motor that moves the seat horizontally (forward/reverse) and a motor in the power recliner mechanism that moves the seat backrest forward or rearward.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- Seat control switch

- Seat track

PINPOINT TEST F : THE POWER SEAT DOES NOT MOVE HORIZONTALLY/VERTICALLY - PASSENGER

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

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