Seat Backrest Motor Control Circuit Performance
B1D87 - Seat Backrest Motor Control Circuit Performance
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.
• When Monitored: Whenever the seat motor is activated.
• Set Condition: If the memory seat module does not detect the rotation of the seat motor this DTC will set.
Test Step 1 - Check for Related Diagnostic Trouble Codes
• Turn the ignition ON.
• With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Does the scan tool display any seat position sensor DTCs?
Yes
• Diagnose and repair the other DTCs first. Refer to => Non - DTC Based Diagnostics.
No
• Go to Test Step 2 => [ Test Step 2 - Test for Intermittent Condition ]
Test Step 2 - Test for Intermittent Condition
• Turn the ignition ON.
• With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
• Move the driver seat switch in the recline up and down position three times.
• With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC?
Yes
• Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Position Sense Circuit
Voltage ]
No
• The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
• Perform Power Seat System Verification Test. Refer to => Non - DTC Based Diagnostics. Power Seat System Verification Test
Test Step 3 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Position Sense Circuit Voltage
• Turn the ignition OFF.
• Disconnect the driver recliner seat adjuster motor harness connector.

Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?
Yes
• Go to Test Step 4 => [ Test Step 4 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Up/Down Driver Circuit
Voltage ]
No
• Go to Test Step 5 => [ Test Step 5 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Position Sense Circuit
for an Open ]
Test Step 4 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Up/Down Driver Circuit Voltage
• Using a 12 volt test light connect one lead to the driver seat recliner up driver circuit and the other lead to driver seat recliner down driver circuit at the driver recliner seat adjuster motor harness connector.
• Move the driver seat switch in the recliner up and down position.
Does the test light illuminate with the seat switch engaged in both positions?
Yes
• Replace the track/recliner motor assembly.
• Perform Power Seat System Verification Test. Refer to => Non - DTC Based Diagnostics. Power Seat System Verification Test
No
• Go to Test Step 7 => [ Test Step 7 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Up Driver Circuit for
an Open ]

• Turn the ignition OFF.
• Disconnect the memory seat module C3 harness connector.
• Measure the resistance of the driver seat recliner position sense circuit between the driver recliner seat adjuster motor harness connector and the memory seat module C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?
Yes
• Go to Test Step 6 => [ Test Step 6 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Sensor Ground Circuit
for an Open ]
No
• Repair the driver seat recliner position sense circuit for an open.
• Perform Power Seat System Verification Test. Refer to => Non - DTC Based Diagnostics. Power Seat System Verification Test
Test Step 6 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Sensor Ground Circuit for an Open

Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?
Yes
• Replace the memory seat module.
• Perform Power Seat System Verification Test. Refer to => Non - DTC Based Diagnostics. Power Seat System Verification Test
No
• Repair the driver seat recliner sensor ground circuit for an open.
• Perform Power Seat System Verification Test. Refer to => Non - DTC Based Diagnostics. Power Seat System Verification Test
Test Step 7 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Up Driver Circuit for an Open
• Disconnect the memory seat module C3 harness connector.
• Measure the resistance of the driver seat recliner up driver circuit between the driver recliner seat adjuster motor harness connector to the memory seat module C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?
Yes
• Go to Test Step 8 => [ Test Step 8 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Down Driver Circuit
for An Open ]
No
• Repair the driver seat recliner up driver circuit for an open.
• Perform Power Seat System Verification Test. Refer to => Non - DTC Based Diagnostics. Power Seat System Verification Test
Test Step 8 - Check the Driver Seat Recliner Down Driver Circuit for An Open
• Measure the resistance of the driver seat recliner down driver circuit between the driver recliner seat adjuster motor harness connector and the memory seat module C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?
Yes
• Replace the memory seat module.
• Perform Power Seat System Verification Test. Refer to => Non - DTC Based Diagnostics. Power Seat System Verification Test
No
• Repair the driver seat recliner down driver circuit for an open.
