1. Power seat inoperative 2. Scan Tool Does Not Communicate With Low Speed GMLAN Device | ||||
Circuit/System Description
When the power seat switches are pressed, they send a 12-volt signal through the switch signal circuits to the memory seat module (MSM). The MSM then commands the driver seat and lumbar motors to move in response to the switch signals.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The MSM must be powered.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | If a seat switch circuit is active in one direction and the switch for the opposite direction is pressed, this DTC will set. |
| • | Multiple DTCs will set if one of the switch signal circuits is shorted to voltage. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | A motor output driven in response to a switch considered failed, is deactivated for both directions. |
| • | All memory recall commands are ignored. |
| • | The MSM will respond to any other switch signal that has not set a DTC. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The current DTC will clear and set the code to history, 3 seconds after the fault is no longer present 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. |
Diagnostic Aids
If one of the switch signal circuits is shorted to battery, multiple codes will set.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe all scan tool Memory Seat Module seat switch parameters while pressing and releasing each seat directional switch. The reading should change between Inactive and Active.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the seat adjuster switch.
- Verify the scan tool seat switch parameters listed below are Inactive.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the seat adjuster switch.

Component Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the seat adjuster switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between each seat direction signal terminal listed below and the B+ terminal F (LHD) or terminal A (RHD) with the switch in the open position.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between each seat direction signal terminal listed below and the B+ terminal F (LHD) or terminal A (RHD) with the switch in the closed position.
