Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate driver seat motor listed below for which the DTC set:
- M50D Seat Front Vertical Motor - Driver
- M55D Seat Rear Vertical Motor - Driver
- M51D Seat Horizontal Motor - Driver
- M56D Seat Recline Motor - Driver
- Ignition ON.
- Test for greater than 10.8 V between the 12 V reference circuit terminal 2 and ground while pressing any power seat switch.
- If 10.8 V or less
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X5 harness connector at the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver.
- Test for infinite resistance between the 12 V reference circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the 12 V reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver.
- If greater than 10.8 V
- Test for 0.2-2 V between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If less than 0.2 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X5 harness connector at the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver.
- If greater than 2 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X5 harness connector at the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between each signal circuit listed below and ground.
- Front vertical sensor terminal 12
- Seat horizontal sensor terminal 11
- Rear vertical sensor terminal 25
- Seat recline sensor terminal 26
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver.
- If between 0.2-2 V
- Test or replace the seat motor.
