Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

Operate the recline adjuster switch in forward and rearward directions.

Does the recline 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 Recline Position Switch parameter in the seat module Inputs/Outputs data list.
3. Operate the recline adjuster switch in the forward 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 recline adjuster switch in the rearward 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 fuse jumper wire between the battery voltage supply circuit terminal and the recline forward switch signal circuit terminal in the harness connector.
3. Observe the Recline Position Switch parameter in the seat module Inputs/Outputs data list.

Does the scan tool display the Recline Position Switch parameter as forward?

Go to Step 12

Go to Step 8

1. Disconnect the seat adjuster switch connector.
2. Connect a 3-amp fuse jumper wire between the battery voltage supply circuit terminal and the recline rearward switch signal circuit terminal in the harness connector.
3. Observe the Recline Position Switch parameter in the seat module Inputs/Outputs data list.

Does the scan tool display the Recline Position Switch parameter as rearward?

Go to Step 12

Go to Step 9

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

Does the test lamp illuminate in the forward and rearward switch positions only?
