The position sensor that set this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is either attached to the seat directional motor drive cable or directly to the motor it monitors. It receives a 5-volt reference and ground from the memory seat module (MSM). The sensor sends a voltage signal that varies with the movement of the seat through the signal circuit to the MSM. Then based on this voltage signal, the MSM determines the position of the seat.
The MSM must be powered.
If the MSM sees the analog input from this sensor is greater than 4.75 volts, the sensor will be considered out of range and the MSM will set this DTC.
If the MSM sees the analog input from this sensor is less than 0.22 volt , the sensor will be considered out of range and the MSM will set this DTC.
This DTC will set, if the MSM is controlling a motor in one direction and its position sensor is tracking the motor in the opposite direction. The sensor is either mounted or wired incorrectly, or the polarity of the motor control circuits are reversed.
All memory recall and seat massage functions will be disabled.
• | The current DTC will clear and set to history, when the MSM sees the analog input from the sensor as between 0.22 volt and 4.75 volts and the ignition is cycled OFF then back to ACC or RUN. |
• | The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
• | All position sensors use common ground and 5-volt reference circuits. |
• | If the 5-volt reference circuit is shorted to voltage multiple position sensor codes will set. |
• | If the 5-volt reference circuit is shorted to ground multiple position sensor codes will set. |
• | If the sensor ground circuit is open multiple codes will set. |
• | DTC failure type 5A will set if the sensor setting this DTC is either mounted or wired incorrectly, or the polarity of the motor control circuits are reversed. |

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Driver Seat and Lumbar Position Sensor parameters. The readings should be between 0.22 volt and 4.75 volts and change while adjusting seat and lumbar positions.
⇒ | If greater than 2 ohms, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
⇒ | If less than 4.8 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
⇒ | If greater than 5.2 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
⇒ | If greater than 2 volts, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
⇒ | If less than 4.75 volts, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
⇒ | If greater than 2 ohms, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
⇒ | If less than 4.8 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
⇒ | If greater than 5.2 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
⇒ | If greater than 2 volts, test the appropriate signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
