Test H: The Power Lumbar Is Inoperative

PINPOINT TEST H: THE POWER LUMBAR IS INOPERATIVE

Normal Operation
The lumbar control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit 566 (DG) and is supplied ground on circuit 1205 (BK). When the lumbar control switch is operated, voltage and ground are supplied to the power lumbar motor circuits 1094 (PK) and 1097 (BN) to move the lumbar assembly inward or outward. Operating the lumbar control switch in the opposite direction reverses the polarity to the power lumbar motor, which moves the lumbar assembly in the opposite direction.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Lumbar control switch
- Power lumbar assembly
