Power Seat Does Not Recline

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 GMC Envoy XL, 2002 GMC Envoy, and 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Power Seat Does Not Recline

Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference: Memory Seats Schematics 
Connector End View Reference:  Power Seat Systems Connector End Views  
IMPORTANT: This table assumes that all mechanical linkage and drivers are free from obstruction and not binding. This table also assumes that all other directions are operational.
1 Did you perform the Power Seat Diagnostic System Check? Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Power Seat Systems 
2 Operate the recline adjuster switch in forward and rearward directions.
Does the recline adjuster motor operate normally?		 Go to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS in Wiring Systems Go to Step 3

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Observe the recline position switch parameter in the seat module Inputs/Outputs data list.
  3. Operate the recline adjuster switch in the forward direction.
Does the scan tool display the correct switch status parameter in relation to the actual switch position?		 Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5 
4 Operate the recline adjuster switch in the rearward direction.
Does the scan tool display the correct switch status parameter in relation to the actual switch position?		 Go to Step 7  Go to Step 6 
5
  1. Disconnect the seat adjuster switch connector.
  2. Connect a 3 amp fuse jumper wire between the battery voltage supply circuit terminal and the recline forward switch signal circuit terminal in the harness connector.
  3. Observe the recline position switch parameter in the seat module Inputs/Outputs data list.
Does the scan tool display the recline position switch parameter as forward?		 Go to Step 12  Go to Step 8 
6
  1. Disconnect the seat adjuster switch connector.
  2. Connect a 3 amp fuse jumper wire between the battery voltage supply circuit terminal and the recline rearward switch signal circuit terminal in the harness connector.
  3. Observe the recline position switch parameter in the seat module Inputs/Outputs data list.
Does the scan tool display the recline position switch parameter as rearward?		 Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
7
  1. Disconnect the recline adjuster motor control circuit connector.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminals in the harness connector.
  3. Operate the recline adjuster switch in both directions.
Does the test lamp illuminate in the forward and rearward switch positions only?		 Go to Step 11  Go to Step 10 
8 Test the recline forward switch signal circuit for an open or short to ground. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 17  Go to Step 13 
9 Test the recline rearward switch signal circuit for an open or short to ground. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 17  Go to Step 13 
10 Test the recline adjuster motor control circuits for an open or short to ground. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 17  Go to Step 13 
11 Inspect for poor connections at the recline adjuster 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 17  Go to Step 14 
12 Inspect for poor connections at 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 17  Go to Step 15 
13 Inspect for poor connections at the seat module. 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 17  Go to Step 16 
14 Replace the recline adjuster motor. Refer to Seat Adjuster Mechanism Replacement - Power .
Is the repair complete?		 Go to Step 17  -
15 Replace the seat adjuster switch. Refer to Seat Switch Replacement - Power .
