Test G: Improper Horizontal Operation

NOTE: Before beginning this test, ensure seat and seat track are free from all obstructions.

  1. Test For Open

    Disconnect seat motor harness connector. Disconnect seat control switch harness connector. Measure resistance in Yellow/White and Red/White wires between seat control switch and seat motor harness connectors. If both resistance readings are less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If either resistance reading is 5 ohms or greater, repair open in appropriate wire.

  2. Test For Short

    Measure resistance between ground and Yellow/White and Red/White wires at seat control switch harness connector. If both resistance readings are 10 k/ohms or greater, go to next step. If either resistance reading is less than 10 k/ohms, repair short to ground in appropriate wire.

  3. Test Motor Operation

    Using fused jumper wires, connect positive battery voltage to Red/White wire and ground Yellow/White wire at seat motor connector. Seat should move rearward. Reverse leads and seat should move forward. If seat operates as described, replace seat control switch. If seat does not operate as described, replace seat motor assembly.
