The seat module uses two control circuits to command the horizontal seat motor. The seat module can apply battery positive voltage or a ground to either control circuit. The seat module, based upon switch input, will change the polarity of the control circuits as necessary to achieve the desired seat position.
The seat module must be powered with 9-16 volts.
If the seat module detects that there is an open, short to ground or short to battery positive voltage on either control circuit while they are inactive, the seat module will set the DTC. If the seat module detects less than 1amp draw or a short to ground when the control circuit is active the DTC will set.
The seat module will disable the seat from movement, the Memory Recall and Easy Exit Function.
• | The DTC will clear when the seat module no longer detects a fault. |
• | A history DTC will be cleared after completing 100 consecutive ignition cycles. |
If the DTC is only found in history, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
