Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the MSM.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test does not illuminate between any of the following motor control circuits and ground:
    • Front vertical motor terminal 12
    • Front vertical motor terminal 13
    • Rear vertical motor terminal 15
    • Rear vertical motor terminal 16
    • Seat horizontal motor terminal 9
    • Seat horizontal motor terminal 10
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the following motor control circuits and ground:
    • Front vertical motor terminal 12
    • Front vertical motor terminal 13
    • Rear vertical motor terminal 15
    • Rear vertical motor terminal 16
    • Seat horizontal motor terminal 9
    • Seat horizontal motor terminal 10
    • If less than infinite resistance, test the motor control circuit for a short to ground.
  4. Test for greater resistance values than specified between the following motor control circuits:
    • 1 ohm for front vertical motor terminal 12 and terminal 13
    • 1 ohm for rear vertical motor terminal 15 and terminal 16
    • 1 ohm for seat horizontal motor terminal 9 and terminal 10
    • If less than the specified resistance, test the control circuits for a short together or shorted motor.
  5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X4 at the MSM.
  6. Ignition ON, verify that a test does not illuminate between any of the following motor control circuits and ground:
    • Lumbar vertical motor terminal 1
    • Lumbar vertical motor terminal 2
    • Lumbar horizontal motor terminal 12
    • Lumbar horizontal motor terminal 13
    • Seat recline motor terminal 15
    • Seat recline motor terminal 16
    • Adjustable pedal motor terminal 9
    • Adjustable pedal motor terminal 10
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
  7. Test for infinite resistance between the following motor control circuits and ground:
    • Lumbar vertical motor terminal 1
    • Lumbar vertical motor terminal 2
    • Lumbar horizontal motor terminal 12
    • Lumbar horizontal motor terminal 13
    • Seat recline motor terminal 15
    • Seat recline motor terminal 16
    • Adjustable pedal motor terminal 9
    • Adjustable pedal motor terminal 10
    • If less than infinite resistance, test the motor control circuit for a short to ground.
  8. Test for greater resistance values than specified between the following motor control circuits:
    • 1 ohm for lumbar horizontal motor terminal 12 and terminal 13
    • 1 ohm for recline motor terminal 15 and terminal 16
    • If less than the specified resistance, test the control circuits for a short together or shorted motor.
  9. If all circuits test normal, replace the MSM.
