DRIVER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power seat on this model can be adjusted in
eight different directions, up, down, front up, front
down, rear up, rear down, rearward and forward.
The power seat switch (Fig. 1) on this model has an
additional switch knob for adjusting the power lum-
bar support. The power seat switch is located on the
outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion
side shield. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehi-
cle glove box for more information on the power seat
switch functions and the seat adjusting procedures.
The individual switches in the power seat switch
assembly cannot be repaired. If one switch is dam-
aged or faulty, the entire power seat switch assembly
must be replaced.
OPERATION
When a power switch control knob or knobs are
actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch ismoved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DRIVER SEAT
SWITCH
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to Wir-
ing.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the power seat switch from the power
seat.
(3) Use an ohmmeter to test the continuity of the

PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power seat on this model can be adjusted in
eight different directions, up, down, front up, front
down, rear up, rear down, rearward and forward.
The power seat switch (Fig. 3) on this model has an
additional switch knob for adjusting the power lum-bar support. The power seat switch is located on the
outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion
side shield. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehi-
cle glove box for more information on the power seat
switch functions and the seat adjusting procedures.
The individual switches in the power seat switch
assembly cannot be repaired. If one switch is dam-
aged or faulty, the entire power seat switch assembly
must be replaced.
OPERATION
When a power switch control knob or knobs are
actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.

shield that helps to shroud it from unintentional
actuation when entering or leaving the vehicle.
The power lumbar switches cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the seat switch
assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
When the power lumbar switch paddle is actuated,
a battery feed and a ground path are applied through
the switch contacts to the power lumbar adjuster
motor. The motor operates to move the lumbar
adjuster through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the motor to run in the
opposite direction.
The power lumbar switch should not be held
applied in either direction after the adjuster has
reached its travel limit. The power lumbar adjuster
motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to pro-
tect it from overload. However, consecutive or fre-
quent resetting of the circuit breaker must not be
allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged.
REMOVAL
The power lumbar switch is integral with the other
power seat switches. Refer to the appropriate driver
or passenger power front seat switch removal and/or
installation procedure.
LUMBAR MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The power lumbar seat option includes an electri-
cally operated lumbar support mechanism. The only
visible evidence of this option is the separate power
lumbar switch control paddle that is located on the
outboard seat cushion switch bezel, next to the other
power seat switch control knobs. The power lumbar
adjuster and motor are concealed beneath the seat
back trim cover and padding, where they are secured
to a molded plastic back panel and to the seat back
frame.
The power lumbar adjuster cannot be repaired, and
is serviced only as a unit with the seat back frame. If
the power lumbar adjuster or the seat back frame
are damaged or faulty, the entire seat back frame
unit must be replaced (Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS/
SEAT BACK - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The power lumbar adjuster mechanism includes a
reversible electric motor that is secured to theinboard side of the seat back panel and is connected
to a worm-drive gearbox. The motor and gearbox
operate the lumbar adjuster mechanism in the center
of the seat back driving a nut up or down a fixed
drive screw. The action of this nut extends or con-
tracts the plastic lumbar support band. The more
this band is contracted, the more outward pressure is
applied against the center of the seat back padding,
providing additional lumbar support.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LUMBAR MOTOR
Actuate the power lumbar switch to move the
power lumbar adjuster in each direction. The power
lumbar adjuster should move in both directions. It
should be noted that the power lumber adjuster nor-
mally operates very quietly and exhibits little visible
movement. If the power lumbar adjuster fails to oper-
ate in only one direction, move the adjuster a short
distance in the opposite direction and test again to be
certain that the adjuster is not at its travel limit. If
the power lumbar adjuster fails to operate in only
one direction, Test the appropriate power seat switch
as described in this group. If the power lumbar
adjuster fails to operate in either direction, perform
the following tests. For complete circuit diagrams,
refer toWiring.
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty power seat
circuit breaker.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the power seat cir-
cuit breaker. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair
the open fused B(+) circuit to the fuse in the Inte-
grated Power Module as required.
(3) Remove the outboard seat cushion side shield
from the seat. Disconnect the seat wire harness con-
nector from the power lumbar switch connector
receptacle. Check for battery voltage at the fused
B(+) circuit cavity of the power seat wire harness
connector for the power lumbar switch. If OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit
to the power seat as required.
(4) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the power seat wire harness connector
for the power lumbar switch and a good ground.
There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground as
required.
(5) Test the power lumbar switch. . If the switch
tests OK, test the circuits of the power seat wire har-
ness between the power lumbar adjuster motor and
the power lumbar switch for shorts or opens. If the
circuits check OK, replace the faulty seat back frame
assembly. If the circuits are not OK, repair the power
seat wire harness as required.

(5) Momentarily touch the Positive (+) jumper
probe to the other motor connector terminal.
When positive probe is connected the motor should
rotate in one direction to either move window up or
down. If window is all the way up or down the motor
will grunt and the inner door panel will flex when
actuated in that one direction.
(6) Reverse jumper probes at the motor connector
terminals and window should now move in opposite
direction. If window does not move or grunt, replace
the motor.
If window moved completely up or down, reverse
the jumper probes and cycle window to the opposite
position to verify full operation.
If motor grunts and does not move, verify that reg-
ulator is not binding.
WINDOW MOTOR
REMOVAL
The window motor is serviced with the window
regulator (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WIN-
DOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 -
BODY/DOORS - REAR/WINDOW REGULATOR -
REMOVAL).
WINDOW SWITCH
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WINDOW SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination
lamps for all of the power window and lock switch
and bezel unit switch paddles receive battery current
through the power window circuit breaker in the
junction block. If all of the LEDs are inoperative in
both the power window and lock switch units and the
power windows are inoperative, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/POWER WINDOWS - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the power windows operate, but any or
all of the LEDs are inoperative, the power window
and lock switch units with the inoperative LED(s) is
faulty and must be replaced. For complete circuit dia-
grams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
(1) Check the fuse in the Integrated Power Module
(IPM) and the circuit breaker located near the park
brake pedal. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace
the faulty fuse or circuit breaker.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the Inte-
grated Power Module (IPM). If OK, turn the ignition
switch to the Off position and go to Step 3. If not OK,
check circuit breaker and repair the circuit to the
ignition switch as required.
(3) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the power window switch unit fromthe door trim panel (passenger doors). The drivers
door switch is included with the Driver Door Module
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/DOOR
MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) for service
procedures. Unplug the wire harness connector from
the switch unit.
(4) Test the power window switch continuity. See
the Power Window Switch Continuity charts to deter-
mine if the continuity is correct in the Off, Up and
Down switch positions (Fig. 1). If OK, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If not OK, replace the faulty switch.
