Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 GMC Acadia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a 20 A fuse located in the rear body fuse block. This voltage is used by the module for logic power. Battery positive voltage is also supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a 30 A fuse located in the instrument panel fuse block. This voltage is connected to a power rail internal to the seat memory control module and is used to drive the power seat motors. Each seat motor is controlled by the seat memory control module by applying power and ground through the control circuits to the motor.

All motors are reversible. For example, when the seat switch is operated to move the entire seat forward, the switch signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low indicating the entire seat forward command. In response to this signal, the seat memory control module applies battery voltage through the driver seat horizontal motor forward control circuit and ground through the driver seat horizontal motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.
