Circuit Description
The seat adjuster motors are controlled by the driver seat module through the adjuster motor control circuits. In an inactive state both of the motor control circuits are grounded within the driver seat module. In an active state the driver seat module switches the appropriate motor control circuit to battery positive voltage. The direction of the adjuster motor rotation is determined by which of the motor control circuits is switched to battery positive voltage while the other remains grounded. During adjuster motor operation the driver seat module also monitors the current flow through the motor control circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage must be between 9.0-16.0 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The motor control circuit monitored by the driver seat module is determined to be shorted to ground, battery positive voltage, or open.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The seat motor with a current status DTC will be disabled . |
| • | When the fault is no longer present a history status DTC will be stored, and motor operation will be restored. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present. |
| • | When the fault is no longer present the DTC will be a history status code. |
| • | The history DTC will be cleared after 100 error free ignition cycles, or by using the scan tool clearing DTCs feature. |

Does the test lamp illuminate when the switch is activated in both directions? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Test the motor control circuits for an open or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 6 |
5 | Inspect for poor connections at the adjuster motor connector. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 7 |
6 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the driver seat module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 8 |
7 | Replace the appropriate adjuster motor assembly. Refer to Front Seat Adjuster Motor Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 9 | -- |
8 | Replace the driver seat module. Refer to Memory Seat Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 9 | -- |
