Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Important: When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
- The seat position sensor
- The SDM module
- The seat position sensor wiring harness connector
- The SDM wiring harness connector
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the right SPS connector and inspect the component and harness sides for damage or corrosion.
- If damage or corrosion is found, repair or replace as necessary.
- Test for less than 2.0 ohm of resistance between low reference terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than specified, test the low reference circuit for open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
- Ignition ON. Test for 4.5 - 5.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If less that the specified range, test the signal circuit for open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
- If greater that the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- If the circuits test normal, replace the seat position sensor.
