Test A: The Power Seat Is Inoperative - Driver, With Power Recliner

PINPOINT TEST A: THE POWER SEAT IS INOPERATIVE - DRIVER, WITH POWER RECLINER

Normal Operation
The driver seat control switch is powered by battery voltage to the driver seat control switch, circuit SBB32 (VT/RD), and is supplied ground on driver circuit GD147 (BK/VT). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies that voltage and ground to a power seat track motor or power recliner motor to move the seat or backrest. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to that same power seat track motor or power recliner motor, which moves the seat or backrest in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat cushion horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). There is an additional motor in the power recliner mechanism to move the seat backrest forward and rearward. If a new motor needs to be installed, it is necessary to install an entire power seat track or power recliner mechanism.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Seat control switch
