Normal Operation
Voltage is supplied to the power-fold seat relay coils controlled from the smart power distribution junction box (SPDJB) through circuit CPS48 (BU) enabling the system. Ground is supplied to the power-fold seat relay coils and both left and right seat control switches on circuit GD151 (BK/GN). The power fold seat relays will be provided voltage on the coil side from the SPDJB for 10 minutes when the transmission selector is in PARK and the liftgate, or liftgate glass, is open. The voltage will be disabled 10 minutes after turning the vehicle off. If the voltage is disabled after 10 minutes, it can be re-enabled by opening any door or pressing the unlock key on the key fob.

Possible Causes
An inoperative third row power-fold seat can be caused by:
- open fuse.
- auxiliary relay box third row power-fold seat relay(s).
- wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulty SPDJB.
