B2103









Circuit Description

The memory seat module (MSM) receives an input from the left seat rear vertical switch when the switch is actuated. When the rear vertical switch is operated in the down direction, battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied to the MSM rear vertical down input via CKT 1521 (LT BLU). The MSM recognizes the input and tilts the rear of the seat in the down direction.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

^ When the rear vertical down switch is active for 30 seconds after motion has ceased, the switch is considered shorted and the DTC sets.
^ It the rear vertical position sensor DTC B2116 is current and the rear vertical down switch is active for 30 seconds, the switch is considered shorted and the DTC sets.
^ DTC B2103 sets only if DTC B1982 MSM or DTC B19B3 MSM is not current.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

^ The MSM does not tilt the rear of the seat in the down direction.
^ The MSM continues responding to valid inputs from the other manual switches.
^ All memory recall function commands are ignored for all directions.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

^ The MSM sees that the rear vertical down switch is no longer active.
^ Use the on-boards clearing DTCs feature.
^ Use a scan tool.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:

1. Perform the entire Power Seat Systems Diagnostic System Check before continuing with the diagnosis of this DTC.
2. This step determines if a switch is stuck or if a short to battery positive voltage (B+) exists in the wiring input to the memory seat module (MSM). DTC B2103 will set again if a short in the wiring exists or if an internal MSM condition exists. DTC B2103 will not set again if a switch is stuck because the switch has been disconnected from the MSM input.
3. This step determines if a short to battery positive voltage (B+) exists in the input wiring to the MSM.
7. Clear all DTCs after the repair procedure is complete.
