Pinpoint Test F: The Power Lumbar Is Inoperative- Driver

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. F1 CHECK THE LUMBAR MOTOR OPERATION 
    WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
    NOTE: If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
    NOTE: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
    NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
      WARNING: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of any air bag module when the battery ground cable is connected.
    • For vehicles equipped with seat side air bags, carry out the following:
    • Actuate the lumbar control switch to the INFLATE position.
    • Does the lumbar compressor run? 

    Yes  : GO to F2.

    No  : GO to  F3.

  2. F2 CHECK THE AIRFLOW FROM THE LUMBAR MOTOR 
    • Disconnect the lumbar adjusting hose from the lumbar motor.
    • Actuate the lumbar control switch to the INFLATE position while feeling for air at the motor connection.
