Component 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.
Lumbar Support Switch
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between the B+ terminal E and each control terminal with the switch in the open position.
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
- If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the B+ terminal E and each control terminal with the appropriate switch in the closed position.
- If 2 Ω or greater
Replace the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
- If less than 2 Ω
- If 2 Ω or greater
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the ground terminal H and each control terminal with the switch in the open position.
- If 2 Ω or greater
Replace the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
- If less than 2 Ω
- If 2 Ω or greater
- All OK.
Seat Lumbar Support Motor
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M53 Seat Lumbar Support Motor.
- Install a 30 A fused jumper wire between control terminal A 12 V.
- Momentarily install a jumper wire between control terminal B and ground. The M53 Seat Lumbar Support Motor should momentarily perform the lumbar FORWARD function.
- If the motor does not perform the lumbar FORWARD function
Replace the M53 Seat Lumbar Support Motor.
- If the motor performs the lumbar FORWARD function
- If the motor does not perform the lumbar FORWARD function
- Reverse the polarity of jumper wires; the lumbar motor should perform REARWARD function.
- If the motor does not perform the lumbar REARWARD function
Replace the M53 Seat Lumbar Support Motor.
- If the motor performs the lumbar REARWARD function
- If the motor does not perform the lumbar REARWARD function
- All OK.
NOTE:
When performing the following tests, make sure that the lumbar support is not already in the position the test is attempting to produce.
