Diagnostic Test
1. CHECK FOR RELATED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODESTurn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, read DTC's.
Does the scan tool display any seat position sensor DTC's?
Yes
- Diagnose and repair the other DTC(s) first. Refer to the Table of Contents in this Section for a complete list of symptoms.
No
- Go To 2
2. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase DTC's
Move the Seat Switch in the Recliner position three times.
With the scan tool, read DTC's.
Does the scan tool display B1D87–SEAT BACKREST MOTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE?
Yes
- Go To 3
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.

Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Go To 5
4. CHECK THE DRIVER SEAT RECLINER FORWARD/REARWARD DRIVER VOLTAGE
Move the Seat Switch in the Recliner position during the next step.
Using a 12-volt test light connect one lead to the (P141) Driver Seat Recliner Up Driver circuit and the other lead to (P143) Driver Seat Recliner Down Driver circuit at the Driver Recliner Seat Adjuster Motor connector.
