Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The memory seat module (MSM) controls the driver seat, adjustable pedal, and tilt steering wheel motors via half bridges that are divided into 2 groups that are connected to separate power rails internal to the module. The MSM connects all of the motor control circuits to a common reference point whenever they are not in operation. This reference point is biased to approximately 2.5 V. The MSM checks to see if this reference voltage is shorted to ground or battery before enabling any seat, adjustable pedal, or steering wheel motor.
