General Information - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index DTC:
Driver/Passenger Seat Module (DSM/PSM)
Description and Operation
Driver/Passenger Seat Module (DSM/PSM)
CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not
guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle.
NOTES:
If a control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the Warranty
Policy and Procedures manual, or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation of a new
module/component.
Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only 5-digit codes. Match the 5 digits from the scan tool to
the first 5 digits of the 7-digit code listed to identify the fault (the last 2 digits give extra information read by the
manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).
When performing voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter accurate to three decimal places, and with
an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance always take the resistance of the digital multimeter leads into
account.
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.
Inspect connectors for signs of water ingress, and pins for damage and/or corrosion.
If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be the
cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.
Check DDW for open campaigns. Refer to the corresponding bulletins and SSMs which may be valid for the specific
customer complaint and carry out the recommendations as required.
The table below lists all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that could be logged in the Driver/Passenger Seat Module
(DSM/PSM). For additional diagnosis and testing information, refer to the relevant Diagnosis and Testing section in the
workshop manual.
For additional information, refer to: Seats (501-10 Seating, Diagnosis and Testing).

does not control the seat
lumbar function
Seat movement
switch to lumbar
circuits - short,
open circuit Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check seat
movement switch to lumbar circuits for short, open
circuit Seat movement from switch pack occurs
in delayed inch mode (seat axis moves
short distance when switch pressed for
longer than 2 seconds and then stops). This behaviour could occur on any seat
axis (slide, height, squab, tilt, headrest
or cushion) when requested
Motor Hall sensor
on affected axis is
not connected or
not receiving
expected signals Check for DTCs, B1B8731, B1B9131, B1B8931, B1B9331,
B106331, B106431. If present then check Hall sensor
feedback circuits between seat motor and seat module
and also check Hall sensor ground circuits for affected
axis. These DTCs are only logged if the axis is
attempted to be moved in both directions. When hall
sensor connection issue fixed press switch on affected
axis for longer than 2 seconds. By keeping the switch
pressed the axis movement should now operate for the
duration of switch-press. Re-calibrate affected seat Seat movement from switch pack occurs
