Circuit Description

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the rear seat load floor switch and the rear seat position switch by the rear seat module (RSM). The RSM monitors these battery positive voltage supply circuits for the protection of internal circuitry of the module.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC B1395 Device Voltage Reference Output 1 Circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC

The RSM must be powered and cannot have DTC B1327 - Battery Voltage Low as an active DTC for this DTC to set.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

This DTC will set only when the RSM detects that the device switch supply voltage is less than 3 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The RSM will not allow seat operation.
    • If this condition occurs during seat operation, the operation will be cancelled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC will clear when the RSM detects that the device switch voltage is greater than 3 volts.
