Diagnostic Test
1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONTurn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase DTC's
Move the Seat Switch recliner position three times.
With the scan tool, read DTC's.
Does the scan tool display B1D79–SEAT RECLINER POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER SEATS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
2. CHECK THE (G403) DRIVER SEAT RECLINER POSITION SENSE VOLTAGE
Disconnect the Driver Recliner Seat Adjuster Motor.
NOTE: Check connectors – Clean and repair as necessary.
Move the seat switch in the recliner position during the next step.
Using a 12-volt test light connect one lead to the (G403) Driver Seat Recliner Position Sense circuit and the other lead to Driver Seat Recliner Position Sensor Ground at the Driver Recliner Seat Adjuster Motor connector.
Does the test light illuminate for approximately two seconds then turn off with the seat switch engaged?
Yes
- Replace the Driver Recliner Seat Adjuster Motor assembly.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST – VER 1 (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER SEATS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
No
- Go To 3
3. CHECK THE (G403) DRIVER SEAT RECLINER POSITION SENSE WIRE FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Disconnect the Memory Seat Module C2 connector.
NOTE: Check connectors – Clean and repair as necessary.
Measure the resistance of the (G403) Driver Seat Recliner Position Sense wire at the Driver Recliner Seat Adjuster Motor connector to ground.
Is the resistance below 1000.0 ohm?
Yes
- Repair the (G403) Driver Seat Recliner Position Sense circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST – VER 1 (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER SEATS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
No
- Replace the Memory Seat Module.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST – VER 1 (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER SEATS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
