1. Power seat inoperative |
The power seat is controlled through the seat adjuster switch. Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch from the PWR SEATS 25A circuit breaker that is located in the I/P fuse block. When the seat adjuster switches are in an inactive state, the switch contacts are closed to the switch ground circuit.
All seat motors are reversible. For example, when the seat horizontal forward switch is pressed to move the entire seat forward, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the seat horizontal motor forward control circuit to the motor. The motor is grounded through the horizontal motor rearward switch contacts and the horizontal motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All seat motors are powered this way.

⇒ | If the power seat is inoperative in all directions, refer to the Seat Adjuster Switch Circuit Test. |
⇒ | If the seat front or rear vertical adjuster motor is inoperative, refer to the Seat Vertical Motor Circuit Test. |
⇒ | If the seat horizontal motor is inoperative, refer to the Seat Horizontal Motor Circuit Test. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the seat adjuster switch. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the seat adjuster switch. |
⇒ | If the test lamp remains OFF for either of the commands, test the control circuits for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the seat adjuster switch. |
Important: When performing the following tests, make sure that the seat is not all ready in the position the test is attempting to produce.
⇒ | If the function does not perform as specified, replace the seat horizontal motor. |
⇒ | If the function does not perform as specified, replace the horizontal seat motor. |
