Circuit Description
When the power seat switches are pressed they send a 12-volt signal to the memory seat module (MSM). The MSM then commands the driver seat to move in response to the switch signals.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The MSM must be powered and cannot have DTC B1327- Battery Voltage Low as an active DTC for this DTC to set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | If a seat switch continues to be active for 30 seconds after a motor controlled by that switch reaches the end of its travel, the switch will be considered shorted and the MSM will set the DTC. |
| • | If a position sensor DTC is current and the associated switch is active for 30 continuous seconds, the switch will be considered shorted and the MSM will set a switch DTC. |
| • | A switch DTC will not set if DTC B1327 current. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | 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. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC automatically clears when the switch circuit setting the DTC is no longer active.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
Checks the existing state of the driver's seat switch by using the current state of the signal parameter. If all of the seat switch parameters display active, possibly one of the seat switch signal circuits is shorted to voltage.
-
When the seat adjuster switch is disconnected, this step determines if the seat switch contacts are stuck closed, or if one of the switch signal circuits is possibly shorted to battery positive voltage.

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Power Seat Systems? | ||
Does the scan tool display Inactive? | Go to Step 3 | Go to Step 4 | |
3 |
Does the switch parameter change state? | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | Go to Step 4 |
Does the scan tool display Inactive for all of the parameters? | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 5 | |
5 | Test the switch signal circuit that displays active for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 6 |
6 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the memory seat module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 8 |
7 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the seat adjuster switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 9 |
8 | Replace the memory seat module. Refer to Memory Seat Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 10 | -- |
9 | Replace the seat adjuster switch. Refer to Power Seat Switch Replacement or Lumbar Switch Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 10 | -- |
10 |
Does the DTC reset? | Go to Step 2 | System OK |
