DTC B2101 Recline Aft Switch Failed Eldorado
Circuit Description
The memory seat module (MSM) receives an input from the LH seat switch recline switch when the switch is actuated. When the recline switch is operated in the back direction, battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied to the MSM recliner back input via CKT 1270 (DK GRN/WHT)). The MSM recognizes the input and moves the seat back in the back direction.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | When the recline back switch is active for 30 seconds after motion has ceased, the switch will be considered shorted and the DTC will set. |
| • | If the seat recline position sensor DTC B2115 is current and the recline back switch is active for 30 seconds, the switch will be considered shorted and the DTC will set. |
| • | DTC B2101 will set only if DTC B1982 MSM or DTC B1983 MSM is not current. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The MSM will not recline the seat back in the back direction. |
| • | The MSM will continue to respond to valid inputs from the other manual switches. |
| • | All memory recall function commands will be ignored for all directions. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The MSM sees that the recline back switch is no longer active. |
| • | Use the On-Boards clearing DTCs feature. |
| • | Use a scan tool. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
-
Perform the entire Power Seat Systems Diagnostic System Check before continuing with the diagnosis of this DTC.
-
Determines whether there is a stuck switch or a short to battery positive voltage (B+) in the wiring input to the memory seat module (MSM). DTC B2101 will set again if there is a short in the wiring or there is an internal MSM problem. DTC B2101 will not set again if there is a stuck switch because the switch has been disconnected from the memory seat module (MSM) input.
-
Determines whether there is a short to battery positive voltage (B+) in the input wiring to the MSM.
-
Clear all DTCs after the repair procedure is complete.

DTC B2101 Recline Aft Switch Failed DeVille
Circuit Description
The memory seat module (MSM) receives an input from the left seat switch recline switch when the switch is actuated. When the seat recline switch is operated in the back direction, battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied to the MSM recliner back input via CKT 277 (LT BLU). The MSM recognizes the input and moves the seat back in the back direction.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | When the recline back switch is active for 30 seconds after motion has ceased, the switch is considered shorted and the DTC sets. |
| • | If the seat recline position sensor DTC B2115 is current and the recline back switch is active for 30 seconds, the switch is considered shorted and the DTC sets. |
| • | DTC B2101 sets only if DTC B1982 MSM or DTC B1983 MSM is not current. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The MSM does not recline the seat back in the back direction. |
| • | The MSM continues responding to valid inputs from the other manual switches. |
