Pinpoint Test E: The Power Seat Does Not Move Horizontally/Vertically/Recline - Passenger

Normal Operation

The passenger seat control switch is supplied battery voltage on circuit CBX05 (VT/RD) and ground on circuit GD903 (BK/WH). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies voltage and ground to the appropriate power seat track or recliner motor to move the seat or backrest.

There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat cushion horizontally (forward/backward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). There is an additional motor in the recliner mechanism to pivot the seat backrest forward and backward.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- Seat control switch

- Seat track motor (seat track assembly)

- Power recliner motor

PINPOINT TEST E : THE POWER SEAT DOES NOT MOVE HORIZONTALLY/VERTICALLY/RECLINE - PASSENGER

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.

NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
