1. Power seat inoperative 2. Scan Tool Does Not Communicate With Low Speed GMLAN Device |
The seat adjuster switches are inputs to the memory seat module (MSM). Battery voltage from the MSM is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch. When the seat switches are pressed, they send a 12 volt signal through the switch signal circuits to the MSM. The MSM then commands the driver seat motors to move in response to the switch signals.
The MSM must be powered.
• | If a seat switch circuit is active in one direction and the switch for the opposite direction is pressed, this DTC will set. |
• | A short to voltage on a switch signal circuit. |
• | 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. |
The seat module will disable the seat adjuster function for which the DTC has set.
• | The current DTC will clear and set the code to history, 3 seconds after the fault is no longer present and the power mode changes to OFF then back to ACC or RUN. |
• | The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
• | The scan tool may reference the Memory Seat Module as the Driver Seat Module. |
• | If one of the switch signal circuits is shorted to battery, multiple codes will set. |
