Pinpoint Test M: The Power Lumbar Is Inoperative - Driver

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON.
NOTE: The supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  1. M1 CHECK CIRCUIT SBB15 (WH/RD) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Depower the SRS. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in the General Procedures portion of SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM article.
    • Disconnect the driver seat side air bag C327.
    • Disconnect: Seat Control Switch C3297
      • 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.
    • Connect the battery ground cable. Refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES article.
    • Measure the voltage between seat control switch C3297-5, circuit SBB15 (WH/RD), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  M2.
    2. NO  : VERIFY battery junction box (BJB) fuse 15 (10A) is OK. If OK, 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 article.

  2. M2 CHECK CIRCUIT GD126 (BK/WH) FOR AN OPEN

    • Measure the resistance between seat control switch C3297-3, circuit GD126 (BK/WH), harness side and ground.
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : Go to  M3.
    2. 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 article.

  3. M3 CHECK THE LUMBAR MOTOR 
    • Connect: Seat Control Switch C3297
    • Disconnect: Power Lumbar Motor C3215
      • Fig 2: Checking Circuit For Voltage

    • For power seat, 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 in both directions? 
    1. 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 article.

    2. NO  : Go to  M4.
  4. M4 CHECK CIRCUITS CPS19 (GY/VT) AND CPS18 (BN/GN) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Disconnect: Seat Control Switch C3297
      • Fig 3: Measuring Resistance
      GF0021355Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
    • Measure the resistance between seat control switch C3297-7, circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side and ground; and between seat control switch C3297-10, circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side and ground.
    • Are the resistances greater than 10,000 ohms. 
    1. YES  : Go to  M5.
    2. 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 article.

  5. M5 CHECK CIRCUITS CPS19 (GY/VT), CPS18 (GN/RD) AND CPS18 (BN/GN) FOR AN OPEN 
      Fig 4: Checking Circuits For Open
      GF0021356Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
    • Measure the resistance between seat control switch C3297-7, circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side and power lumbar motor C3215-1, circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side; and between seat control switch C3297-10, circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side and power lumbar motor C3215-2, circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side.
    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new seat control switch. REFER to Seat Control Switch . 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 article.

    2. 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 article.
