Power Seat Inoperative with A45

Test Description

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

This step tests the integrity of the signal circuits of the seat adjuster switch. If the fuse in the jumper wire opens when you perform this test, a short to ground may have occurred.

Step	Action	Yes	No
Schematic Reference: Driver Seat Schematics Connector End View Reference: Power Seat Connector End Views DEFINITION: One or more of the power seat functions are inoperative.
1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2	Verify that the power seat inoperative complaint is present. Attempt to operate all of the power seat motors through their full range of adjustment. Does the power seat system operate as described in the system description and operation?	Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems	Go to Step 3
3	Are all of the power seat motors inoperative?	Go to Step 4	Go to Step 7
4	Install a scan tool. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. With a scan tool, observe any seat switch parameter in the Memory Seat Module (MSM) data list. Operate the seat switch in the direction of the observed parameter. Does the observed seat switch parameter change state?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 5
5	Probe the battery positive voltage circuit of the seat adjuster switch with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 6	Go to Step 15
6	Probe any one of the seat switch signal circuits of the seat adjuster switch with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground. Operate the appropriate seat switch. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 13
7	Install a scan tool. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. With a scan tool, observe the inoperative seat switch parameters in the Memory Seat Module data list. Operate the appropriate seat switch in both directions. Does the seat switch parameters change state in both directions?	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 8
8	Disconnect the seat adjuster switch. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the battery voltage circuit of the harness connector and the suspect switch signal circuit of the harness connector. With a scan tool, observe the appropriate seat switch parameter. Does the seat switch parameter change state?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 10
9	Disconnect the inoperative seat motor. Connect a test lamp between the motor control circuits of the harness connector. Operate the appropriate seat switch in both directions. Does the test lamp illuminate in both directions?	Go to Step 12	Go to Step 11
10	Test the suspect switch signal circuit between the seat adjuster switch and the MSM for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs or Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 19	Go to Step 14
11	Test the motor control circuits between the MSM and the inoperative seat motor for a short to ground or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs or Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 19	Go to Step 14
12	Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the inoperative seat motor. 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 19	Go to Step 17
13	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 19	Go to Step 16
