Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and 2015 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal H and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- If less than 10 Ω
- Ignition ON.
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal E and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for greater than 10 Ω between each control circuit listed below and ground:
- Lumbar forward control circuit terminal A
- Lumbar rearward control circuit terminal D
- If 10 Ω or less, disconnect the harness connector at the M53 Seat Lumbar Support Motor and retest to verify if the short is in the circuit or the component.
- If greater than 10 Ω, test or replace the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
- If the test lamp illuminates
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch and disconnect the harness connector at the M53 Seat Lumbar Support Motor.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B, ignition ON.
- Verify the test lamp turns ON when commanding the lumbar support Forward and Rearward using the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
- If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between each control circuit and ground.
- If less than Infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in each control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
- If the test lamp remains ON during either of the commands
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
- If the test lamp turns ON during each of the commands
- Test or replace the M53 Seat Lumbar Support Motor.
