Circuit/System Description
The memory seat module (MSM) controls the driver seat and tilt steering wheel motors via half bridges that are connected to a power rail internal to the module. The MSM connects all of the motor control circuits to a common reference point whenever they are not in operation. This reference point is biased to approximately 2.5 V. The MSM checks to see if this reference voltage is shorted to ground or battery before enabling any seat or steering wheel motor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The MSM must be powered.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3920 01
The voltage on any power rail 1 motor control circuit exceeds 2.78 V for 100 ms.
B3920 02
The voltage on any power rail 1 motor control circuit is below 1.47 V for 100 ms.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The MSM disables all motors in the group for which the DTC was set.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The current DTC clears when the malfunction 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. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the MSM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between control circuits listed below and ground:
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuits listed below and ground:
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the MSM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between control circuits listed below and ground:
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuits listed below and ground:
- If all circuits test normal, replace the MSM.
