Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

  1. 3:  During this test the DSM must see an active switch input before power will be supplied the position sensor.
  2. 4:  During this test the DSM must see an active switch input before power will be supplied the position sensor.
  3. 5:  During this test the DSM must see an active switch input before power will be supplied the position sensor.
DTC B1850, B1860, B1960, B2355, B2365, or B2375

1 Did you perform the Power Seat Diagnostic System Check? Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Power Seat Systems 
2 Verify the condition is present.
Does the system operate normally?
Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems Go to Step 3 
  1. Disconnect the position sensor connector to the motor for which the DTC has set.
  2. Connect a DMM from the positive voltage reference circuit terminal in the position sensor harness connector to a good ground.
  3. Press the adjuster switch in either direction.
Does the DMM display battery voltage when the adjuster switch is pressed?
Go to Step 4  Go to Step 6 
  1. Connect a DMM from the positive voltage reference circuit terminal to the low reference circuit terminal in the position sensor harness connector.
  2. Press the adjuster switch in either direction.
Does the DMM display battery voltage when the adjuster switch is pressed?
Go to Step 5  Go to Step 7 
  1. Connect a DMM from the signal circuit terminal to the low reference circuit terminal in the position sensor harness connector.
  2. Press the adjuster switch in either direction.
Does the DMM display battery voltage when the adjuster switch is pressed?
Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
6 Test the position sensor positive voltage reference circuit for the following conditions:
