Pinpoint Test I : The Power Seat Does Not Move Horizontally/Vertically - Driver, With Manual Recliner

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The airbag warning indicator illuminates when the correct RCM fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

  1. I1 CHECK THE HORIZONTAL MOTOR FOR CORRECT OPERATION

    • Disconnect: Driver Seat Horizontal Motor C362.
    • WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any airbag when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.

      Connect the battery ground cable. Refer to Battery, Mounting and Cables .

    • Measure the voltage between driver seat horizontal motor C362-3 , circuit CPS28 (GN), harness side and C362-4 , circuit CPS23 (GN/VT), harness side, while pushing the driver seat control switch forward and rearward.
