Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE POWER LUMBAR MOTOR
    1. WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.

      Ignition OFF.

    2. Disconnect: Driver Seat Side Air Bag C3051.
    3. Disconnect: Power Lumbar Motor C3215.
    4. NOTE: During the following step, the voltage being measured changes polarity dependent upon which direction the seat control switch is activated.

      While operating the seat control switch in both directions, measure:

      Power Lumbar Motor Power Lumbar Motor
      G08038613
      G08038614
      C3215 C3215
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      A CPS19 (GY/VT)
      G08038615
      		 B CPS18 (BN/GN)

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts when the seat control switch is operated and 0 volt in the rest position? 

    1. Yes: INSTALL a new power lumbar assembly. REFER to Lumbar Assembly - Power . GO to  4.
    2. No: GO to 2  .
  2. CHECK THE POWER LUMBAR MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
    1. Disconnect: Driver Seat Control Switch C369.
    2. Measure:
      Driver Seat Control Switch Ground
      G08038617
      G08038616
      C369 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      10 CPS18 (BN/GN)
      G08038618
      		 - Ground
      7 CPS19 (GY/VT)
      G08038619
      		 - Ground

    Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    1. Yes: GO to 3  .
    2. No: REPAIR the affected circuit. GO to  4  .
  3. CHECK THE LUMBAR MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
    1. Measure:
      Driver Seat Control Switch Power Lumbar Motor
      G08038621
      G08038620
      C369 C3215
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      10 CPS18 (BN/GN)
      G08038622
      		 B CPS18 (BN/GN)
      7 CPS19 (GY/VT)
      G08038623
      		 A CPS19 (GY/VT)

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: INSTALL a new seat control switch. REFER to Seat Control Switch . GO to 4  .
    2. No: REPAIR the affected circuit. GO to 4  .
  4. CHECK FOR SRS DTCs 
    1. WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.

      Ignition OFF.

    2. Connect: Driver Seat Side Air Bag C3051.
    3. Connect: All previously disconnected electrical connectors.
    4. Ignition ON.
    5. Using a scan tool, clear the RCM DTCs  .
    6. Cycle the ignition OFF then ON.
    7. Using a scan tool, perform RCM self-test.

    Are any RCM DTCs retrieved during self-test? 

    1. Yes: REFER to DTC CHART: RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE (RCM) for pinpoint test direction.
    2. No: The repair is complete. RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
