GENERAL INFORMATION
Power seats can be adjusted in six different direc-
tions up, down, forward, back, tilt forward, or tilt
rearward. A three armature permanent magnet reversible mo-
tor is coupled through cables to worm gear box assem-
blies located in the seat tracks, providing the various
seat movements. The electrical circuit is protected by a 30 amp circuit
breaker located on the fuse block.
TEST PROCEDURES
Before any testing is attempted the battery should be
carefully charged and all connections and terminals
cleaned and tightened to insure proper continuity and
grounds. With dome lamp on, apply switch in direction of
failure. If dome lamp dims the seat motor is trying to
work indicating mechanical jamming. If dome lamp
does not dim, then proceed with the following electrical
tests.
CIRCUIT BREAKER TEST
Find correct circuit breaker on fuse block. Pull out
slightly but be sure that circuit breaker terminals still
contact terminals in fuse block. Connect ground wire of
voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of voltmeter
positive wire, check both terminals of circuit breaker
for battery voltage. If only one terminal checks at
battery voltage, circuit breaker is defective and must
be replaced. If neither terminal shows battery voltage,
check for open or shorted circuit to circuit breaker.
HARNESS VOLTAGE TEST
The following test will determine whether or not
voltage is continuous through the body harness to the
switch. (1) Remove power seat switch from mounting posi-
tion and disconnect switch from wiring harness. (2) Connect one lead of test light to ground terminal,
black wire (BK) of center section, and touch other test
light lead to red wire (RD) terminal. (3) If test light comes on, harness to switch is good.
If test light does not come on, perform circuit breaker
test.
MOTOR TESTS
AA BODY
(1) Remove switch from mounting position and dis-
connect from harness. (2) To check the center motor, connect a jumper wire
between pin 5 and pin 3 (Fig. 1). Connect a second
jumper wire between pin 7 and pin 4 If motor does not
operate, reverse the jumpers, pin 5 to pin 4 and pin 7 to
pin 3. If motor still does not operate check wiring
between switch connector and motor assembly. If wir-
ing checks good replace motor assembly. (3) To check the front motor, connect a jumper wire
between pin 5 and pin 1 (Fig. 1). Connect a second
jumper wire between pin 7 and pin 8. If motor does not
operate, reverse the jumpers, pin 5 to pin 8 and pin 7 to
pin 1. If motor still does not operate check wiring
between switch connector and motor assembly. If wir-
ing checks good replace motor assembly.
(4) To check the rear motor, connect a covered jumper
wire between pin 5 and pin 6 (Fig. 1). Connect a second

AG & AJ BODIES
(1) Remove switch from mounting position and dis-
connect from harness. (2) To check the front motor, connect a jumper
wire between cavity number 2 and cavity number 9
(Fig. 2). Connect a second jumper wire between cav-
ity number 6 and cavity number 5. If the motor does
not operate, reverse the jumpers, 2 to 5 and 6 to 9. If
motor still does not operate check wiring between
switch connector and motor assembly. If wiring
checks good replace motor assembly. (3) To check the center motor, connect a jumper
wire between cavity number 2 and cavity number 8.
Connect a second jumper wire between cavity 6 and
cavity number 7. If the motor does not operate, re-
verse the jumpers, 2 to 7 and 6 to 8. If motor still
does not operate check wiring between switch con-
nector and motor assembly. If wiring checks good re-
place motor assembly. (4) To check the rear motor, connect a jumper be-
tween cavity number 2 and cavity number 10. Con-
nect a second jumper wire between cavity number 6
and cavity number 3. If the motor does not operate,
reverse the jumpers, 2 to 3 and 6 to 10. If motor still
does not operate, check wiring between switch con-
nector and motor assembly. If wiring checks good re-
place motor assembly. (5) To check the seat back recliner motor if
equipped, connect a jumper wire be tween cavity
number 2 and cavity number 1. Connect a second
jumper wire between cavity number 6 and cavity
number 11. If the motor does not operate, reverse the jumpers (2 to 11 and 6 to 1). If motor still does not
operate check wiring be tween switch connector and
motor assembly. If wiring checks good replace motor
assembly.
(6) If all motors and the seat operate properly, per-
form Switch Test.

connect from harness. (2) To check the front motor, connect a jumper
wire between cavity number 3 and cavity number 8
(Fig. 3 and 4). Connect a second jumper wire between
cavity number 6 and cavity number 7. If the motor
does not operate, reverse the jumpers, 3 to 7 and 6 to
8. If the motor still does not operate check the wiring
between switch connector and motor assembly. If
wiring checks good replace motor assembly. (3) To check the center motor, connect a jumper
wire between cavity number 3 and cavity number 5.
Connect a second jumper wire between cavity num-
ber 6 and cavity number 2. If the motor does not op-

SYSTEM SOFT LIMITS
This portion of the system becomes activated when
the control module must shut off a specific seat, re-
cliner or mirror motor because it has reached the end
of its travel. When a mechanical stall condition is de-
tected, the control module will set a soft limit in its
memory and will not allow the motor to be driven
past that point. To override the soft limits, activate the seat or re-
cliner switch twice in the desired direction holding
the switch activated until the end of travel has been
reached. Reactivate and hold the switch once more
for three seconds. This will cause new soft limits to
be set in the control module.
SETTING SYSTEM SOFT LIMITS
If the control module or motor assemblies have
been replaced, the control module must learn its new
soft limits. To do this, perform the memory seat di-
agnostic self-test. After the tests are completed, the
control module will have learned and memorized its
new soft limits.
TEST PROCEDURES
Before any testing is attempted, the battery should
be carefully charged and all connections and termi-
nals cleaned and tightened to insure proper continu-
ity and grounds.
MEMORY SEAT AND MIRROR DIAGNOSTIC
SELF-TESTS
The system has a built-in set of three self-tests
which check all components in the system while giv-
ing a visual feedback. To enter the first self-test mode, switch test, press
memory position 1 and 2 buttons, hold for at least
five seconds and no longer than ten seconds. Follow
this immediately by pressing the Set button and hold
for at least five seconds but less than ten seconds.
Three seconds after the button is released, the seat,
recliner and mirrors will move to a mid-travel posi-
tion. Within ten seconds, press and release a seat
button to activate a seat or recliner motor. All
switches except the mirror switches may now be
tested one at a time. The memory switches, Position
1 and 2 and Set buttons, may also be tested. A good
switch contact actuation will NOD the seat. The seat
nod consists of seat front up and seat track forward
followed by seat front down and seat track rearward.
The nod also includes both outside power rear view
mirrors operating in the vertical plane. The system
will continue NODDING for good switches until 10
seconds pass without any switch actuation. Within 10 seconds of the last seat nod, press mem-
ory position 1 and 2 buttons for at least 5 seconds
