Electric seat adjustment (ESA) function (except CODE 275) - GF91.29-P-0004CW

MODEL 204.0 /2 except CODE (275) Memory package (driver seat, steering column, mirrors) up to Model Year 8 

General 

The electric seat adjustment (ESA [ESV]) allows the driver and front passenger seat to be adjusted.

Adjusting possibilities:

Function requirements 

IMPORTANT Run-on:

If circuit 15R has been switched off, then the ESA can still be operated for t = 3 min. If a circuit status change or a door status change occurs within the run-on time, the run-on function starts again. The circuit status is received by the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) from the electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) via the interior CAN.

The door status is detected by the left front door lock (A85) and the right front door lock (A85/1). The respective door lock is read in by the left front door control unit (N69/1) or the right front door control unit (N69/2), which transmits the status to the rear SAM control unit via the interior CAN.

The ESA provides the following subfunctions: 

Manual seat adjustment 

Function sequence 

For seat adjustment the relevant switch must be operated and held in place.

The relevant seat adjustment motor is then actuated:

Driver seat

Also with USA ONLY and CANADA ONLY :

Passenger seat

Also with USA ONLY and CANADA ONLY :

The seat adjustment motor power supply is directly provided by the rear SAM control unit via the relevant seat adjustment switch.

IMPORTANT The function is aborted in the event of overvoltage or undervoltage.

Anti-lock device 

Since the ESA does not have any sensors or its own control unit, anti-locking protection is provided by a thermal release in the seat adjustment motors. This causes the seat adjustment motor to shut off after a certain temperature threshold is exceeded if it becomes blocked.
