Pinpoint Test M: The Power Lumbar is Inoperative - Driver
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 123, Memory Seats for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The seat control switch is supplied battery voltage on circuit SBB15 (WH/RD) and ground on circuit GD126 (BK/WH). When the lumbar button (part of seat control switch) is pressed, voltage and ground are supplied to the power lumbar motor to move the lumbar mechanism in or out.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Lumbar control switch
- Lumbar motor
PINPOINT TEST M: THE POWER LUMBAR IS INOPERATIVE - DRIVER
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-------------------------------------------------
M1 CHECK CIRCUIT SBB15 (WH/RD) FOR VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Depower the SRS. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in the General Procedures portion of Air Bag Systems.
- Disconnect: Driver Seat Side Air Bag C327.
- Disconnect: Seat Control Switch C3297.
- WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- Connect the battery ground cable. Refer to Battery.
- Measure voltage between seat control switch C3297-5, circuit SBB15 (WH/RD), harness side and ground.
- Is voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
GO to M2.
No
VERIFY Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 15 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to Air Bag Systems.
-------------------------------------------------
M2 CHECK CIRCUIT GD126 (BK/WH) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure resistance between seat control switch C3297-3, circuit GD126 (BK/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
GO to M3.
No
REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to Air Bag Systems.
-------------------------------------------------
M3 CHECK VOLTAGE TO THE LUMBAR MOTOR
- Connect: Seat Control Switch C3297.
- Disconnect: Power Lumbar Motor C3215.
- Measure voltage between power lumbar motor C3215-1, circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side and power lumbar motor C3215-2, circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side.
- Operate the seat control switch in both directions.
- Is voltage greater than 10 volts in both directions?
Yes
INSTALL a new power lumbar assembly. REFER to Lumbar Assembly Lumbar Assembly. TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to Air Bag Systems.
No
GO to M4.
-------------------------------------------------
M4 CHECK CIRCUITS CPS19 (GY/VT) AND CPS18 (BN/GN) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect: Seat Control Switch C3297.
- Measure resistance between:
- seat control switch C3297-7, circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side and ground.
- seat control switch C3297-10, circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side and ground.
- Are resistances greater than 10,000 ohms.
Yes
GO to M5.
No
REPAIR the circuit(s). TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to Air Bag Systems.
-------------------------------------------------
M5 CHECK CIRCUITS CPS19 (GY/VT) AND CPS18 (BN/GN) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure resistance between:
- seat control switch C3297-7, circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side and power lumbar motor C3215-1, circuit CPS18 (BN/GN), harness side.
- seat control switch C3297-10, circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side and power lumbar motor C3215-2, circuit CPS19 (GY/VT), harness side.
- Are resistances less than 5 ohms?
Yes
INSTALL a new seat control switch. REFER to Seat Control Switch Seat Control Switch. TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to Air Bag Systems.
No
REPAIR the circuit(s). TEST the system for normal operation.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable. CONNECT driver seat side air bag module C327. REPOWER the SRS. REFER to Air Bag Systems.
