Circuit Description

The seat adjuster switch is supplied a 12-volt reference circuit by the memory seat module. When a seat adjuster switch is pressed the signal circuit is closed to the 12-volt reference circuit. Closing the signal circuit to the 12-volt reference circuit pulls the signal circuit high indicating to the memory seat module the switch status is active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A seat adjuster switch input to the memory seat module is active for more than 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The memory seat module will ignore the switch input for which a current status DTC is set.
    • When the fault is no longer present a history status DTC will be stored, and switch operation will be restored.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
    • When the fault is no longer present the DTC will be a history status code.
    • The history DTC will be cleared after 100 error free ignition cycles, or by using the scan tool clearing DTCs feature.
