Circuit Description

The memory seat module (MSM) supplies a 5 volt reference voltage to all of the seat position sensors from connector C1 cavity 13 (GRY).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The 5-volt feed voltage falls out of the range of 4.6-5.2 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The MSM does not allow any memory recall function. Only manual seat movement is allowed. Only one seat motor moves at a time.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The 5-volt feed voltage is within a valid operating range during the last monitoring cycle.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step tests for a short to ground in CKT 788 (GRY).

  2. This step tests for a short to battery positive voltage (B+) in CKT 788 (GRY).

  3. This step tests for an open in CKT 788 (GRY).
