Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2010 GMC Yukon XL, 2010 GMC Yukon, 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2010 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Power seat lumbar support without memory is completely controlled through the lumbar adjuster switch. Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the lumbar switch through the PASS SEAT 25A circuit breaker located in the I/P fuse block. When the lumbar switches are in an inactive state, the switch contacts are closed to the switch ground circuit.

Both lumbar motors are reversible. For example, when the lumbar horizontal forward switch is pressed to move the lumbar support forward, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the lumbar motor forward control circuit to the motor. The motor is grounded through the lumbar motor rearward switch contacts and the lumbar motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the lumbar support forward toward the occupants back until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support rearward works similarly to moving the lumbar support forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. The lumbar support vertical motor is also powered this way.
