Pinpoint Test K: The Power Seat Does Not Move Horizontally/Vertically/Recline - Passenger
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 120, Power Seats for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The seat control switch supplies voltage and ground to a power seat track motor or power recliner motor to move the seat or backrest. 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.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Seat control switch
- Seat track motor (seat track)
- Power recliner motor
