PINPOINT TEST A: THE POWER SEAT IS INOPERATIVE


A1-A2:






A3-A4:






Normal Operation
The seat control switch is powered by battery voltage to circuit 517 (BK/WH) and is supplied ground on circuit 57 (BK). The seat control switch applies battery power and ground directly to one of 3 bi-directional seat track motors, respectively, to move the seat. Toggling the seat control switch to the opposite position reverses the voltage polarity applied to the respective seat motor and moves the seat in the opposite direction.

Possible Causes
An inoperative power seat can be caused by:
- a faulty circuit breaker.
- a faulty circuit.
- a faulty seat control switch.
- a faulty seat track.
