LUMBAR CONTROL SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The ten-way power seat option includes an electri-
cally operated lumbar support mechanism. A single
two-way momentary power lumbar switch is located
on the outboard seat cushion side shield of each front
seat, just forward of the other power seat switches
(Fig. 8). The power lumbar switch is secured to the
back of the seat cushion side shield with two screws,
and the switch paddle protrudes through a hole to
the outside of the shield. The switch paddle is located
in a shallow depression molded into the outer surface
of the seat cushion side shield that helps to shroud it
from unintentional actuation when entering or leav-
ing the vehicle.
The power lumbar switches cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they 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 hasreached 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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LUMBAR

LUMBAR MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The ten-way power 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 side shield, just forward of 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 (Fig. 11).
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.

OPERATION
The power lumbar adjuster mechanism includes a
reversible electric motor that is secured to the
inboard 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 by extending and retracting a cable
that actuates a lever. The action of this lever com-
presses or relaxes a grid of flexible slats. The more
this grid is compressed, the more the slats bow out-
ward against the center of the seat back padding,
providing additional lumbar support.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LUMBAR
ADJUSTER
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 still fails to operate in
only one direction, refer toDiagnosis and Testing
Power Lumbar Switchin this group. If the power
lumbar adjuster fails to operate in either direction,
perform the following tests. For complete circuit dia-
grams, refer toWiring Diagrams.
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker in the
junction block. 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 in the junction block. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
fuse in the Power Distribution Center 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 circuit breaker in the junction
block 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. Refer toDiag-
nosis and Testing Power Lumbar Switchin this
group. If the switch tests OK, test the circuits of the
power seat wire harness between the power lumbaradjuster 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.
MEMORY SET SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory system have a
memory switch mounted to the driver side front door
trim panel (Fig. 12). This switch is used to set and
recall all of the memory system settings for up to two
drivers. The memory switch is a resistor multiplexed
unit that is hard wired to the Driver Door Module
(DDM), which is also located on the driver side front
door trim panel. The DDM sends out the memory
system set and recall requests to the other electronic
modules over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus.
The memory switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Diagrams
.
OPERATION
The memory switch has three momentary switch
buttons labeled Set, 1 and 2. The Driver 1 and Driver
2 buttons are back-lit with Light-Emitting Diodes

cide with the color-coded Driver 1 and Driver 2
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters. The
Driver 1 memory switch button and RKE transmitter
are black, and the Driver 2 memory switch button
and RKE transmitter are gray. The memory switch
Set button also has an LED that will illuminate and
flash to indicate that the memory system is in the set
mode. This LED will automatically be extinguished
when a set request has been successfully completed.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the memory switch. For diagnosis of the memory
switch, the DDM or the PCI data bus, the use of a
DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures
manual are recommended.

PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Two different power seat switches are used on this
vehicle, depending upon the optional power seat sys-
tem installed in the vehicle. The six-way power seats
are each equipped with a switch featuring three
switch control knobs ganged together on the outboard
seat cushion side shield (Fig. 13). The ten-way power
seats are each equipped with a switch featuring two
knobs ganged together on the outboard seat cushion
side shield (Fig. 14).
The switch units for both power seat types are
secured to the back of the seat cushion side shield
with two screws. However, the control knobs for the
six-way power seat switch unit remain installed dur-

ing switch unit removal and installation, while both
knobs for the ten-way power seat switch unit must
be removed.
The individual switches in both power seat switch
units cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged or
faulty, the entire power seat switch unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat tracks of both the six-way and the
ten-way power seat systems can be adjusted in six
different ways using the power seat switches. The
ten-way system has the additional power seat
recliner switch integral to the power seat switch and
also has a separate, stand-alone switch to control the
power lumbar adjuster. See the owner's manual in
the vehicle glove box for more information on the
power seat switch functions and the seat adjusting
procedures.
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 fromoverload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.

RECLINER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The ten-way power seat option includes an electri-
cally operated seat back recliner mechanism. The
only visible evidence of this option is the separate
power seat recliner switch control knob that is
located on the outboard seat cushion side shield, just
behind the other power seat switch control knob. The
power seat recliner switch is integral to the ten-way
power seat switch unit, but is actuated with a sepa-
rate switch knob.
The power seat recliner unit is mounted in the
place of a seat hinge on the outboard side of the seat
(Fig. 20). The upper hinge plate of the power seat
recliner mechanism is secured with two screws to the
seat back frame and is concealed beneath the seat
back trim cover and padding. The lower hinge plate
and the motor and drive unit of the power seat
recliner mechanism is secured with two screws to the
seat cushion frame, and is concealed by the outboard
seat cushion side shield.
The power seat recliner cannot be repaired. If the
unit is faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. Refer
toBucket Seat Reclinerin Body for the service
procedure.
OPERATION
The power seat recliner includes a reversible elec-
tric motor that is secured to the lower hinge plate of
the recliner unit. The motor is connected to a gearbox
that moves the upper hinge plate of the power seat
recliner through a screw-type drive unit. The driver
side power seat recliner motor used on models
equipped with the optional memory system also has
a position potentiometer integral to the motor assem-
bly, which electronically monitors the motor position.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RECLINER MOTOR
