B1D62-2A-POWER SEAT SWITCH STUCK-STUCK

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The Memory System is made up of the Memory Seat Module (MSM), Memory Switch, Driver Seat Switch, multiple Seat Motors which also each contain a hall-effect position sensor, and the Tilt and Telescope Steering Motors, both of which contain a hall-effect position sensor.

When the Driver Seat Switch is used to command seat movement, a signal is sent from the Switch to the MSM via a mux signal circuit. The MSM will then command the appropriate Seat Motor or Motors to move the seat in the commanded direction as long as the Driver Seat Switch is held in that direction. When seat movement is commanded, the MSM also powers the hall-effect position sensor located in each Seat Motor. These hall-effect sensors provide feedback to the MSM in relation to the seat's position. The Tilt and Telescoping Steering operate in a similar manner, with the Tilt Switch and Telescope Switch sending a signal to the MSM via a mux signal circuit. The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor are then commanded by the MSM based on the Switch input. The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor also each have a hall-effect position sensor.

The Memory Switch is used to set and recall memory seat and steering positions. When a Memory Switch button is pressed, a signal is sent from the Switch to the Driver Door Module (DDM) via a mux signal circuit. The DDM will then request the MSM perform the function via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus circuit. If the SET button on the Memory Switch is pressed, followed by the 1 or 2 button, the MSM will store the seat and steering position based on the position inputs received from the hall-effect position sensor. If the 1 or 2 button on the Memory Switch is pressed, the MSM will recall the stored position for that particular selection and return the seat and steering column to the stored position. Memory position may also be recalled using a linked FOBIK transmitter. For driver safety, the MSM will prevent the memory recall function from being initiated if the transmission gear selector lever is not in the Park position or if the vehicle is moving.

- When Monitored:
Continuously.

- Set Condition:
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) detects that the Driver Seat Switch is in an active position for longer than 50 seconds.





TEST FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
3. Cycle the Driver Seat Switch in all directions several times.
4. Wait one minute.
5. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.

Does the scan tool display B1D62-2A-POWER SEAT SWITCH STUCK-STUCK?

Yes

- Replace the Driver Seat Switch. Power Seat Switch - Removal.
- Perform POWER SEAT SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST.Power Seat System Verification Test.

No

- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
