Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

Operate the front vertical adjuster switch in the upward and downward directions.

Does the front vertical adjuster motor operate normally?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Observe the Front Vertical Position Switch parameter in the driver seat module (DSM) Inputs/Outputs data list.
3. Operate the front vertical adjuster switch in the upward direction.

Does the scan tool display the correct switch status parameter in relation to the actual switch position?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 5

Operate the front vertical adjuster switch in the downward direction.

Does the scan tool display the correct switch status parameter in relation to the actual switch position?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 6

1. Disconnect the seat adjuster switch connector.
2. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the battery voltage supply circuit terminal and the front vertical upward switch signal circuit terminal in the harness connector.
3. Observe the Front Vertical Position Switch parameter in the driver seat module Inputs/Outputs data list.

Does the scan tool display the front vertical position switch parameter as upward?

Go to Step 12

Go to Step 8

1. Disconnect the seat adjuster switch connector.
2. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the battery voltage supply circuit terminal and the front vertical downward switch signal circuit terminal in the harness connector.
3. Observe the Front Vertical Position Switch parameter in the driver seat module Inputs/Outputs data list.

Does the scan tool display the Front Vertical Position Switch parameter as downward?

Go to Step 12

Go to Step 9

1. Disconnect the front vertical adjuster motor control circuit connector.
2. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminals in the harness connector.
3. Operate the front vertical adjuster switch in both directions.

Does the test lamp illuminate in the upward and downward switch positions only?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 10

Test the front vertical upward switch signal circuit for an open or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 17

Go to Step 13

Test the front vertical downward switch signal circuit for open or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?
