- Disconnect: Driver Seat Side Air Bag C327.
- Disconnect: Seat Control Switch C3297 (MKZ) or C360 (Fusion).
- Connect the battery ground cable. Refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
- Measure the voltage between seat control switch and ground.
- For Fusion, measure the voltage between seat control switch C360-5, circuit SBB32 (VT/RD), harness side and ground.
- For MKZ, measure the voltage between seat control switch C3297-5, circuit SBP12 (GN/RD), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes: GO to O2.
- No:
VERIFY Smart Junction Box (SJB) fuse 12 (7.5A) (MKZ) or Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 32 (30A) (Fusion) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams information to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment. - O2 CHECK FOR GROUND AT THE SEAT CONTROL SWITCH
- Measure the resistance between seat control switch and ground.
- For Fusion, measure the resistance between seat control switch C360-3, circuit GD126 (BK/WH), harness side and ground.
- For MKZ, measure the resistance between seat control switch C3297-3, circuit GD126 (BK/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes: GO to O3.
- No:
REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
- Measure the resistance between seat control switch and ground.
- O3 CHECK VOLTAGE TO THE LUMBAR MOTOR
- Connect: Seat Control Switch C3297 (MKZ) or C360 (Fusion).
- Disconnect: Power Lumbar Motor C3215.
- Measure the voltage between power lumbar motor C3215-1, circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side and power lumbar motor C3215-2, circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side.
- Operate the seat control switch in both directions.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts when the seat control switch is operated and 0 volt in the rest position?
- Yes:
INSTALL a new power lumbar assembly. REFER to Lumbar Assembly
. TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
- No: GO to O4.
- Yes:
INSTALL a new power lumbar assembly. REFER to Lumbar Assembly
. TEST the system for normal operation.
NOTE: During the following step, the voltage being measured changes polarity dependent upon which direction the seat control switch is activated. - O4 CHECK THE LUMBAR MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect: Seat Control Switch C3297 (MKZ) or C360 (Fusion).
- Measure the resistance between:
- seat control switch C3297-7 (MKZ) or C360-7 (Fusion), circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side and ground.
- seat control switch C3297-10 (MKZ) or C360-10 (Fusion), circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side and ground.
- Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms
.
- Yes: GO to O5.
- No:
REPAIR the circuit(s). TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
- O5 CHECK THE LUMBAR MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between:
- seat control switch C3297-7 (MKZ) or C360-7 (Fusion), circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side and power lumbar motor C3215-1, circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side.
- seat control switch C3297-10 (MKZ) or C360-10 (Fusion), circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side and power lumbar motor C3215-2, circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side.
