DTC Descriptors
DTC B1340 0B
- Device Power 4 Circuit Current Above Threshold

DTC B1340 42
- Device Power 4 Circuit Calibration Data Set Not Programmed

DTC B1340 4B
- Device Power 4 Circuit Calibration Not Learned

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The memory seat module (MSM) monitors the current supplied to driver and passenger seat lumbar vertical motors and both steering column actuators. The MSM can detect both absolute and differential current levels from the these motors. Absolute current is the maximum allowable current the module will supply to the motors. A differential current mismatch occurs when the current supplied to the motors does not match the current returning from the motors.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The seat lumbar motors or steering wheel actuators must be active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1340 0B

The absolute current has exceeded the maximum value allowed.

B1340 42

This DTC will set if the module calibration is not programmed.

B1340 4B

This DTC will set if the module calibration is not learned.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

All movement related to the seat lumbar motors and steering wheel actuators is aborted.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The current DTC will clear and set the code to history, 3 seconds after no motor movement is requested or the current is no longer mismatched, and the power mode changes to OFF then back to ACC or RUN.
* The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

The scan tool may reference the Memory Seat Module (MSM) as the Driver Position Module.

Circuit/System Testing

B1340 0B
1. Ignition ON, use a scan tool to clear the current and history diagnostic trouble code.
2. Determine which motor set this DTC by operating the motors listed below one at a time in both directions. Check for the DTC to set between each motor test.

* Driver seat lumbar vertical motor
* Passenger seat lumbar vertical motor
* Steering column tilt actuator
* Steering column telescope actuator

3. Clear the diagnostic trouble codes.
4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate lumbar motor or steering column motor for which the DTC set.
5. Ignition ON, operate the motor adjuster switch in both directions. DTC B1340 0B should not set.

If the DTC sets, test for a short between the appropriate motor control circuits listed below. If the circuits test normal, replace the MSM.

* Driver seat lumbar vertical motor terminal A and terminal B
* Passenger seat lumbar vertical motor terminal A X354 and terminal B X354
* Steering column tilt actuator terminal A X1 and terminal B X1
* Steering column telescope actuator terminal A X1 and terminal B X1

If greater than the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.

6. Test the appropriate control circuits listed below for a high resistance.

* Driver seat lumbar vertical motor terminal A and terminal B
* Passenger seat lumbar vertical motor terminal A X354 and terminal B X354
* Steering column tilt actuator terminal A X1 and terminal B X1
* Steering column telescope actuator terminal A X1 and terminal B X1

7. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate lumbar motor or steering column motor.

B1340 42 or B1340 4B

If either DTC is set history or current, replace the MSM.
