Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    IMPORTANT: When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
    • The seat position sensor
    • The SDM
    • The seat position sensor wiring harness connector
    • The SDM wiring harness connector
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the RF seat position sensor.
  2. Test for less than 10 ohms between low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.5 - 5.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If less that the specified range, test the signal circuit for open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
    • If greater that the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
  4. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the seat position sensor.
