Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
B1825, B2355, B2365, B2375
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the seat adjuster motor for which the DTC set.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the appropriate low reference circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- Seat horizontal motor sensor terminal C
- Seat front vertical motor sensor terminal C
- Seat rear vertical motor sensor terminal A
- Seat recline motor sensor terminal 1
- If greater than 5 ohms, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the appropriate 5-volt reference circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- Seat horizontal motor sensor terminal A
- Seat front vertical motor sensor terminal A
- Seat rear vertical motor sensor terminal C
- Seat recline motor sensor terminal 3
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If greater than 5.2 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- Verify the appropriate scan tool Driver Seat Sensor parameter is less than 2 volts.
- If greater than 2 volts, test the appropriate signal circuit listed below for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- Seat horizontal position sensor terminal B
- Seat front vertical position sensor terminal B
- Seat rear vertical position sensor terminal B
- Seat recline motor sensor terminal 2
- If greater than 2 volts, test the appropriate signal circuit listed below for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the appropriate signal circuit terminal and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal listed below. Verify the related scan tool Driver Seat position sensor parameter is greater than 4.75 volts.
- Seat horizontal position sensor terminal A and terminal B
- Seat front vertical position sensor terminal A and terminal B
- Seat rear vertical position sensor terminal B and terminal C
- Seat recline motor sensor terminal 2 and terminal 3
- If less than 4.75 volts, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the seat adjuster motor.
B1850
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the lumbar horizontal motor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
- If greater than 5 ohms, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal D and ground.
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If greater than 5.2 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- Verify the scan tool Lumbar Sensor parameter is less than 2 volts.
- If greater than 2 volts, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal E and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal D. Verify the scan tool Lumbar Sensor parameter is greater than 4.75 volts.
- If less than 4.75 volts, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the lumbar motor assembly.
