Test H: Easy Exit/Easy Entry Does Not Operate Correctly

PINPOINT TEST H: EASY EXIT/EASY ENTRY DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY


H1-H4:






H5-H7:






NOTE: The driver power seat easy entry/easy exit feature can be enabled/disabled. Check that the feature is enabled before continuing diagnostics.

Normal Operation
The easy exit function moves the seat backwards about 2 inches when the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch. The DSM receives a key out command over the SCP communication network and powers the driver seat REARWARD. This function will not operate if the seat is less than the travel distance to the end of the track or the function has been deactivated. The DSM will also cancel this operation if a valid input command is received, such as the seat control switch or memory recall request.

The DSM will record the current seat position before powering the seat for an easy exit function. This recorded position will be used to return the seat to this position on the easy entry operation. During easy entry operation, the seat is returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation. Easy entry operation will be cancelled if a valid input command is received by the DSM.

Possible Causes
A memory seat with an inoperative easy exit/easy entry feature can be caused by:
- wiring, terminals or connectors (SCP communication concern).
- a faulty key-in ignition switch.
- a faulty memory power seat track.
- a faulty DSM.
- a faulty lighting control module (LCM).
