Circuit/System Testing: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Buick Lucerne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the (C1, C4) harness connectors at the MSM.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the driver seat heating element supply voltage circuit terminal 14 (C1) and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit and the seat cushion and seat back heating element control circuits for a short to ground.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the supply voltage circuit terminal 14 (C1) and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the supply voltage circuit and the seat cushion and seat back heating element control circuits for a short to voltage.
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the passenger seat heating element supply voltage circuit terminal 6 (C1) and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit and the seat cushion and seat back heating element control circuits for a short to ground.
  5. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the supply voltage circuit terminal 6 (C1) and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the supply voltage circuit and the seat cushion and seat back heating element control circuits for a short to voltage.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the memory seat module.

B2345 13

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the (C2, C4) harness connectors at the memory seat module.
  2. Test for greater than 2.2K ohms of resistance between the following seat cushion temperature sensor signal circuits and the low reference circuits:
    • Driver seat cushion terminal 1 (C5) and terminal 3 (C2)
    • Passenger seat cushion terminal 2 (C5) and terminal 6 (C2)
    • If less than the specified value, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate temperature sensor.
  3. Test for greater than 1.7K ohms of resistance between the following seat back temperature sensor signal circuits and the low reference circuits:
    • Driver seat back terminal 4 (C5) and terminal 2 (C2)
    • Passenger seat back terminal 3 (C5) and terminal 5 (C2)
    • If less than the specified value, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate temperature sensor.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the memory seat module.
