Third Row Power Folding Seat Position Calibration (Left Side)






THIRD ROW POWER FOLDING SEAT POSITION CALIBRATION (LEFT SIDE)

NOTE:
The power folding seats must both be latched before the seat position calibration routine can be initiated. Failure to do so will result in calibration routine failure.

Any time a third row power folding seat assembly or component is removed, replaced or adjusted, DTC B1E4D is present, or Left Rear Seat Position state is unknown or does not match the seats position, a rear seat position calibration must be performed. This calibration enables the third row power folding seat control module to learn or relearn information (travel limits, resistance to seat travel, etc.) which allows it to perform properly and safely. To perform a rear seat position calibration do the following:

1. Obtain an appropriate scan tool.

2. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle and check for any third row power folding seat system stored trouble codes, correct and erase any stored codes.

3. Ensure that all four seat legs are securely latched to the floor strikers.

4. Using the scan tool, check the latch switch states for both seats. If OK, proceed to Step 5. If not OK, cycle effected seat to stow and then back to normal. Recheck the latch switch states for both seats. If OK, proceed to Step 5. If seat fails to latch, diagnose the problem using a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.

5. Using the scan tool, select the third row power folding seat module menu, Miscellaneous Functions and select the Write Valid Left Rear Seat position Test.

6. Using the scan tool select the correct position of the left side third row seat to match the actual position of the seat.

7. Using a scan tool check "routine status" for a pass or fail message. If the calibration routine did not pass, Refer to the appropriate diagnostic service information for system diagnosis and repair. Rerun the calibration routine following seat repair procedure.

8. Follow the instructions on the scan tool to complete the test.

9. The third row power folding seat position calibration routine is complete.

In order to obtain conclusive testing of the third row power folding seat system, the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the third row power folding seat system components must be checked. Any diagnosis of the third row power folding seat system should begin with, the use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.
