Driver Seat Rear Riser Movement Inoperative

  1. Using scan tool, select BODY, MEMORY SEAT MODULE then ACTUATORS. Actuate REAR RISER MOTOR up and down using scan tool. If rear of driver's seat moves up and down, go to next step. If rear of driver's seat does not move up and down, go to step  6 .
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Memory Seat Module (MSM) C1 connector. See Figure . MSM is located under driver's seat. Disconnect driver's power seat switch connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance of Red/White wire between driver's power seat switch connector terminal No. 9 and MSM C1 connector terminal No. 15. See Figure and Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Red/White wire. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  3. Using DVOM, measure resistance of Yellow/White wire between driver's power seat switch connector terminal No. 8 and MSM C1 connector terminal No. 3. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Yellow/White wire. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  4. Reconnect driver's power seat switch connector. Connect test light between MSM C1 connector terminals No. 8 (Yellow/White wire) and No. 15 (Red/White wire). Move rear of seat up and down using switch. If test light illuminates when switch is operated in both directions, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate when switch is operated in both directions, replace driver's power seat switch. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  5. Replace MSM. See MEMORY HEATED SEAT MODULE, HEATED SEAT MODULE OR MEMORY SEAT MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  6. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Memory Seat Module (MSM) C2 connector. See Figure . MSM is located under driver's seat. Disconnect driver's power seat rear riser motor 2-pin connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance of Red/Black wire between MSM C2 connector terminal No. 7 and driver's power seat rear riser motor connector terminal No. 2. See Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Red/Black wire. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  7. Using DVOM, measure resistance of Yellow/Dark Blue wire between MSM C2 connector terminal No. 6 and driver's power seat rear riser motor connector terminal No. 1. See Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Yellow/Dark Blue wire. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  8. Reconnect driver's power seat rear riser motor 2-pin connector. Connect a fused jumper wire between MSM C2 connector terminals No. 7 (Red/Black wire) and No. 12 (Black wire). Connect a second fused jumper wire between MSM C2 connector terminals No. 6 (Yellow/Dark Blue wire) and momentarily to No. 1 (Red wire). Switch jumper wires between MSM C2 connector terminals No. 12 (Black wire) and No. 1 (Red wire). If rear of seat moves up and down when fused jumpers are connected, go to next step. If rear of seat does not move up and down when fused jumpers are connected, replace seat track assembly. See appropriate POWER SEATS article. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  9. Replace MSM. See MEMORY HEATED SEAT MODULE, HEATED SEAT MODULE OR MEMORY SEAT MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
