Circuit Description
The memory seat functions, are operated when voltages from the LH seat switch are first applied to the LH Seat Control Module (SCM). The SCM then stores the voltage appearing at the horizontal position sensor signal wire when either memory push button is pressed.
The SCM provides a steady 5 volt supply (CKT 1985) and a ground (CKT 782) to the horizontal position sensor. The horizontal position sensor, which is a variable resistor, provides a return voltage on the signal wire (CKT 569) to the SCM. Depending upon the location of the seat motor, the voltage in the signal wire varies from 0.1 to 4.78 volts. When one of the memory buttons is pressed, the SCM applies voltage to the motor until the position sensor voltage equals the stored value. The seat will then have returned to the stored horizontal position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The horizontal position sensor input, to the SCM, is under 0.1 or over 4.78 volts for 2 seconds or more.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores a history DTC B2607 in the SCM memory. |
| • | This DTC can only be set as a history code even if the malfunction is current. |
| • | No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC. |
| • | The memory operation/function of the faulted position sensor is disabled. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The horizontal position sensor input, to the SCM, is within 0.1-4.78 volts for 2 seconds or more. |
| • | Using the DTC clearing feature in the IPC. |
| • | Using a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, then the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while moving related wiring and connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to occur. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |
| • | The following conditions may also cause an intermittent malfunction: |
| - | There is an intermittent open, short to ground or battery in CKTs 569 or 1985. |
| - | There is an intermittent open or short to battery in CKT 782. |
| - | The horizontal position sensor is open or shorted internally. |
| • | If the SCM is unable to determine the correct horizontal position, manual power seat functions will still operate, but the SCM will not be able to recall the correct seat memory settings. |
| • | Using a scan tool, select SCM data display and monitor the horizontal position data. Move the power seat horizontally while monitoring the position sensor data. The voltage range should vary and stay between 0.1-4.78 volts depending on the position of the seat. This checks if the seat horizontal position sensor is open or shorted in different positions. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
-
This test checks if a DTC B2607 stored in the SCM memory.
-
This test checks the LH seat horizontal position sensor voltage using a scan tool. Normal position sensor voltage range is between 0.1-4.78 volts.
-
This test checks if the SCM is sending the correct supply voltage to the position sensor. The supply voltage measured must be between 4.0-5.5 volts.
-
This test checks for an open or short to voltage in CKT 782 or in the SCM internal ground circuit.
-
This test checks the output voltage level at the position sensor signal circuit. The signal voltage measured must be between 3.5-5.5 volts.
