Go to Step 14

Go to Step 9

1. Disconnect the power driver seat switch electrical connector.
2. Move a vehicle battery near enough to the power driver seat switch so that jumper wires can reach from the battery to the switch.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the test battery negative terminal and terminal 3 on the motor side of the power driver seat switch.
4. Carefully connect a fused jumper wire between the test battery positive terminal 4 on the motor side of the power driver seat switch. The 2 terminals are close together, and the motor may have a short circuit, so a fused jumper wire is recommended. Do not allow the wires from the battery to touch each other. If the motor is functioning correctly and it is not at the end of its travel, the power driver seat should move.
5. To enable the motor to operate in the opposite direction, carefully reverse the battery connections.

Did the motor run in both directions when the motor was directly powered by a vehicle battery?

Attempt to adjust the power driver seat front height.

Does the front height adjustment work?

-

Go to Step 18

Go to Step 15

1. Disconnect the power driver seat switch electrical connector.
2. Move a vehicle battery near enough to the power driver seat switch so that jumper wires can reach from the battery to the switch.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the test battery negative terminal and terminal 5 on the motor side of the power driver seat switch.
4. Carefully connect a fused jumper wire between the test battery positive terminal and terminal 6 on the motor side of the power driver seat switch. The 2 terminals are close together, and the motor may have a short circuit, so a fused jumper wire is recommended. Do not allow the wires from the battery to touch each other. If the motor is good and it is not at the end of its travel, the power driver seat should move.
5. To enable the motor to operate in the opposite direction, carefully reverse the battery connections between 2 wires.

Did the height adjust up and down when the motor was directly powered by a vehicle battery?

-

Go to Step 10

Go to Step 16

1. Disconnect the 2-pin connector that joins the terminal 5 and terminal 6 wires from the power driver seat switch to the front height motor.
2. Use an ohmmeter to check the resistance of the terminal 5 and terminal 6 wires between the power driver seat switch connector and the front height motor connector.

Is the resistance of each wire equal to the specified value?

0 Ω

Go to Step 13

Go to Step 17

Repair the open circuit in the terminal 5 wire or the terminal 6 wire.

Is the repair complete?

-

System OK

-

Attempt to adjust the power driver seat rear height.

Does the rear height adjustment work?
