above. When the control module has finished, it will
return to the normal operating mode after ten sec-
onds if no further switches are activated.The control module will also return to normal op-
erating mode if any manual seat or recliner move-
ment switch is actuated during the ten second
timeout. If the system has found a problem, refer to the ap-
propriate diagnosis condition.
POWER MEMORY SEAT, RECLINER AND
MIRRORS DIAGNOSIS
Before any diagnosis is done on the system, move
the seat switches and listen for relays clicking in the
control module under the seat. If relays can be heard,
the main battery and ground circuits to the control
module as well as the battery circuit to the switches
in the driver's door are good. When checking for voltage or continuity, always
use a volt/ohm meter to get accurate readings. The
seat and recliner switches must be activated to check
for voltage at the seat and recliner motors or at the
input to the control module from the switches. The control module creates a special voltage supply
for the position sensing functions. It also shuts down
after five seconds, in order to check this or any other
voltage being fed back to the control module. A
switch may have to be activated more than once to
verify a voltage reading. The voltage from the con-
trol module that feeds the seat and recliner position
sensing potentiometer, will be between 4.5 to 5 volts.
For simplicity in the diagnosis section, the feed volt-
age will be called 5 volts. On the position sensing
wires, these voltages will always be less than 5 volts
but more than 0 volts. Typically the high level is at
a maximum of about 4.25 volts and the low level can
be as little as 0.1 volts. If any seat or recliner potentiometer or mirror
rheostat position sense wires are crossed, the control
module will not move that part of the system. The
seat or mirror will be in a fault diagnostic mode.
CONDITION: SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for forward/rearward operation of re-
cliner. If not operable, check for an open or loose cir-
cuit breaker mounted in board on the relay bank in
cavity 15. (2) Check for continuity between 2-way connector
under driver's seat and pin 1 at control module 10-
way connector (Fig. 16 and 17). (3) Check for continuity between 2-way connector
under driver's seat and pin 6 at control module 10-
way connector. (4) Check for any movement of the seat by operat-
ing the seat switch.If movement the circuit is good
into the control module. (5) No movement check for an open or loose fuse in
cavity 15 of the fuse block. (6) Check for battery voltage to pin 3 of driver's
power seat switch.

(7) If battery is good, check for continuity of driv-
er's power seat switch. Refer to Power Memory Seat
Switch Continuity (Fig. 16). (8) Check that all connectors are securely plugged
into control module under driver's seat with no ter-
minal push outs. (9) No correctable faults are found in the above
steps. The battery voltage and ground circuits are
good into the control module. There is battery volt-
age through the seat switch to the control module.
Then replace the control module. (10) If the control module must be replaced, open it
and observe the non-relay side of the printed circuit
board. The module may be damaged by an intermit-
tent short on the inside of the recliner switch. If a
trace is burnt open near the 10-way connector, may
be caused by the recliner switch (Fig. 18).
(11) If module is burnt, remove recliner switch.
Open the switch and observe the movable contacts
staking at the staked end. If the contact, arm can be
rotated, by a sideways motion, the switch must be re-
placed. This will prevent the new control module
from damaged by the switch.
CONDITION: NO RECLINER MOTION FORWARD OR REARWARD AND NO RELAYSCAN BE HEARD CLICKING WHEN THERECLINER SWITCH IS ACTIVATED.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage at pin 11 of the con-
trol module 21-way connector. (2) Check for battery voltage at pin 3 of the re-
cliner switch connector. (3) Check for ground at pin 1 of the control module
21-way connector. (4) Check for ground at both pins 1 and 5 of re-
cliner switch connector. If ground is missing at only
one of these pins, repair or replace the seat wiring
harness. (5) If battery voltage and ground are correct to the
recliner switch connector, check continuity of the re-
cliner switch. Refer to Left Power Memory Recliner
Switch Continuity (Fig. 19).
CONDITION: NO RECLINER MOTION FORWARD, AND A RELAY CAN BE HEARDCLICKING WHEN THE RECLINER SWITCH ISACTIVATED.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage at pin 2 of the control
module 10-way connector with the recliner switch ac-
tivated. (2) Check for ground at pin 4 of the control module
10-way connector with the recliner switch activated. (3) If battery voltage and ground are NOT present
at the above pins of the 10-way connector, replace
the control module. If battery and ground are
present, then continue procedure. (4) Check for battery voltage and ground at re-
cliner motor connector in seat. (5) If recliner motor will not operate, refer to Ser-
vice Procedure for Recliner Motor and Cable.
CONDITION: NO RECLINER MOTION REARWARD, AND RELAYS CAN BE HEARDCLICKING WHEN THE RECLINER SWITCH ISACTIVATED.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for ground at pin 2 of the control module
10-way connector with the recliner switch activated.

(3) Use an ohmmeter to test the wiring between
the door switch and the control module in the driv-
er's seat. The circuits should be disconnected from
their components at each end. Repair the wiring as
required for open circuits, terminal push outs, or bad
crimps. If the circuits are good to the control module
but the function is still missing, replace the control
module.
CONDITION: NO MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT, RELAYS CAN BE HEARD CLICKING WHENTHE SEAT SWITCH IS ACTIVATED.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage and ground at the ap-
propriate pins of the control module 10-way connec-
tor (Fig. 23). If the proper results are not obtained,
replace the control module. If the circuits are correct,
then continue the procedure.
(2) Check for continuity of the motor circuits from
the control module 10-way connector to the left
power seat motor package (Fig. 24). (3) Repair the wiring as required for open circuits,
terminal push outs, or bad crimps. If the circuits are
good but the seat movement direction is still missing,
replace the seat motor package assembly. After re-
placement of the seat motor package, reconnect all wiring connectors and reinstall seat assembly in ve-
hicle. Operate the switches manually to cause maxi-
mum seat movement in all directions. Perform the
memory seat diagnostic self check so the control
module will learn the new soft limits of the assem-
bly.
CONDITION: NO MOVEMENT OF THE MEMORY MIRRORS WHEN THE POWERMIRROR SWITCH IS ACTUATED, MEMORYMIRRORS MOVE DURING RECALL ONLY.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage at pin 1 of the mem-
ory mirror switch 8-way connector in the driver's
door. This battery feed is through a diode package
that is located in the left cowl side area. A grounded
wire on the switch side of the diode would most
likely cause the diode package to open. Solder and
tape the connections if replacement is necessary. The
fuse is in cavity 13 of the fuse block. (2) Check for ground at pin 5 of the memory mir-
ror switch 8-way connector. Repair as needed. (3) Check for continuity of the memory mirror
switch. Refer to the Group 8T, Mirror Switch Test
Procedure and the Continuity.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR
BAG REFER TO THE AIR BAG PORTION OF THIS
SECTION FOR STEERING WHEEL OR SWITCH RE-
MOVAL AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
BUZZER SYSTEM
The seat belt warning system uses both visual and
audible signals. A combined seat belt and key warn-
ing buzzer with a red light on the instrument panel. The system will always illuminate the seat belt
warning lamp for four to eight seconds when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the ON position. Also, only
if the driver does not fasten his seat belt, the buzzer
will sound during the same time interval. Passenger
belts are not connected to the system. A timed buzzer-relay is used to operate the system
for the time period. It consists of a time delay mech-
anism and buzzer assembly. Only the driver's seat
belt buckle has a switch that is connected to the sys-
tem.
CHIME WARNING/REMINDER SYSTEM
The chime warning/reminder system is similar in
operation to the buzzer system except for a more
pleasant sounding tone. This chime type tone sounds
for all three warning/reminder conditions; namely
headlamps left on, keys left in ignition and fasten
seat belt.
TIMED BUZZER-RELAY TESTÐAP BODY
PREPARATION
(1) Remove timed buzzer-relay (Fig. 1).
(2) Connect one end of a jumper wire to a 12 volt
supply. (3) Connect a test lamp equipped with a number
194 lamp or equivalent, between terminal number 3
of relay and ground. (4) Ground terminals 2 and 5 of relay.
TEST
(1) Connect 12 volt jumper wire to terminal num-
ber 4 of timed buzzer-relay, look at test lamp and lis-
ten for buzzer. (2) Test lamp should come on and buzzer should
sound for four to eight seconds and then both should
go off; if not, replace timed buzzer-relay. (3) If operation is okay, check all wiring in vehicle
for opens, shorts, or poor connections.
SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH TEST BUZZER
SYSTEM
Test timed buzzer-relay. If it checks OK, check the
wiring between seat belt buckle and ground. The
wire that goes to terminal 5 of relay from buckle
switch, refer to Fig. 2 and 3. If they check out okay,
replace buckle switch.
CHIME WARNING/REMINDER SYSTEM TEST
FASTEN SEAT BELTS
To test the fasten seat belts function, turn the ig-
nition switch to the ON position with the driver's
seat belt unbuckled. The seat belt warning lamp
should light for four to eight seconds and the tone
should sound three to five times.
