Restraint System Diagnostic Tool Warning

WARNING: This tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.

Principles of Operation

Power Seats

The 6-way power seat feature moves the seat in 6 possible directions: the base of the seat can be moved forward or rearward and the front and back of the seat cushion can be moved up and down independently. The power seat feature operates independent of the position of the ignition.

The power seat motors are hardwired to the seat control switch. The circuits are normally at ground through the seat control switch. An individual circuit is switched to power when a specific adjustment position is selected.

Heated Seats

The driver and passenger heated seats share a common battery feed to the heated seat relay junction box. The ignition circuit powers the logic board and illumination of the heated seat switches located internal to the electronic manual temperature control assembly (EMTC). The battery feed is used to provide voltage to the heater mats.

There are 2 power supplies to the heated seat relay. One power supply energizes the relay and heated switch LED when the key is in the RUN position and the heated seat switch is activated. This closes the relay and power is provided to the heated seat elements through the other power circuit. The heated seat module will remain ON until the heated seat switch button is depressed to cycle the heated seat module OFF or a 10-minute time-out period occurs. If ignition power is switched OFF, the heated seat module will enter an OFF state.

The driver seat cushion and backrest heater elements are wired in series as are the passenger seat cushion and backrest heater elements. The heated seat system is designed to maintain the temperature by the opening (no voltage to the heated seat mats) and closing (voltage supplied to the heated seat mats) of the bi-metallic thermostat.

Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Pinpoint Test H: The Power Lumbar Is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 120, Seating for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The lumbar control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit 566 (DG) and is supplied ground on circuit 1205 (BK). When the knob of the lumbar control switch is pressed, voltage and ground are supplied to the power lumbar motor. When pressing the lumbar knob in the opposite direction, the lumbar control switch reverses the polarity to the power lumbar motor, which moves the lumbar mechanism in the opposite direction.

Possible Causes

An inoperative power lumbar can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty lumbar control switch.
  • a faulty power lumbar motor assembly.

Pinpoint Test I: The Heated Seat Is Inoperative

Normal Operation

The electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) module includes the heated seat control buttons and indicators. The heated seat system will function when the EMTC module is ON or OFF. There is a relay box located behind the headlamp switch area containing 2 micro relays for the driver and passenger heated seats. There are 2 power supplies to the heated seat relay. One power supply energizes the relay and heated switch LED when the key is in the run position and the heated seat switch is activated. This closes the relay and power is provided to the heated seat elements through the other power circuit. If the heated seat switch is ON when the ignition is turned OFF, the heated seat switch will be ON when the ignition is turned back ON.

Possible Causes

An inoperative heated seat can be caused by:

  • fuse(s).
  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty heated seat switch (EMTC).
  • a faulty heated seat relay.
  • a faulty heated seat element.
