Seat Adjuster Memory Module, Transducers and Motors
.
Circuit Description
The seat adjuster memory module controls the seat recliner motor power and ground through CKT 276 (LT GRN) and CKT 277 (LT BLU). The seat adjuster memory module also senses the seat recliner motor position through a hall sensor within the motor through CKT 570 (WHT/BLK) while utilizing CKT 570A (BLK) as a sensor ground.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DTC will set if the seat adjuster memory module detects through the hall sensor that the recline motor is not responding to the seat adjuster memory module commands due to the following:
| • | An open circuit |
| • | A short to ground |
| • | A short to power |
| • | An inoperative motor |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive fault free ignition cycles. |
| • | Use a scan tool in order to clear history and current DTCs. |
Diagnostic Aids
One or more of the following conditions could be the cause of an intermittent failure:
| • | A poor connection |
| • | A break in the wire insulation that exposes the internal wire |
| • | A wire broken inside the insulation |
