POWER SEAT SYSTEM

The power seat system allows the driver and front seat passenger (when equipped) to electrically adjust their
seating positions using the power seat switches located on the outboard seat cushion side shield.

The standard driver side six-way power seat includes a six-way adjustable seat cushion track and a manual
recline and fold flat feature. The seat can be electrically adjusted forward, rearward, up, down and seat front
only, up and down.

The available driver and passenger side twelve-way power seats include a six-way adjustable seat cushion track
and two-way power seat back, along with a four-way power lumbar support. The seats can be electrically
adjusted forward, rearward, up, down, seat front only up and down, recliner forward and rearward, and lumbar
support in, out, up and down. A memory driver seat option is available that automatically positions the twelve-
way driver power seat for two different operators.

The power seat contains reversible motors that are connected to worm-drive gearboxes that move the seat
through a combination of screw-type drive units. On vehicles equipped with non-memory power seats, each
motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect it from overload. On vehicles equipped with memory
seat, the motor overload protection is a function of the Memory Seat Module (MSM). Consecutive or frequent
resetting of the circuit breakers may damaged the motors.

The power seating system is also available with heated seat options. Refer to DESCRIPTION .

The power seat track for this vehicle includes the following:

1 of 19
 Fore/Aft Motor (1) - located at the front of the seat track.
Front Tilt Motor (2) - located on the left side of the seat track.
Rear Tilt Motor (3) - located on the right side of the seat track.

The power seat back for this vehicle includes the following:

Lumbar Motors (1 and 2) - two motors located on the power lumbar mechanism, in seat back frame.
Recliner Motor (3) - located on the power recline mechanism, on the right side of the seat back frame.

The power seat for this vehicle can include the following switches:

Seat Position Switch - located at the center of the outboard seat cushion trim panel. Vehicles may be
equipped with driver only, or driver and passenger power seats. One seat switch is used for each front
seat. The power seat switches are paddle-type levers. Movement of the seat cushions and backs mimics
the action of the switch paddles. The driver power seat switch type (memory or non-memory) can be
identified by the color of the switch electrical connector receptacle. Memory switches have a light gray
connector receptacle and non-memory have a black receptacle.
Lumbar Switch - located at the rear of the outboard seat cushion trim panel. The power lumbar switch is
a four-way rocker type switch. Lumbar support can be increased and decreased, and the support area can
be lowered or raised for added driver comfort.

MEMORY SEAT SYSTEM

2 of 19
 An electronic memory seat system is available on certain models. The memory seat system is able to store and
recall all driver side power seat positions, driver side power rear view mirror position and power steering
column position, when equipped. The system can be set for two different drivers. The memory system is also
able to store and recall up to twenty radio station presets for two drivers (ten AM and ten FM). The memory
system also will store and recall the last station listened to for each driver, even if it is not one of the twenty
preset stations.

The memory system will automatically recall all of these settings when a button of the memory switch (2)
located on the driver door trim panel (1) is pressed, or when the doors are unlocked using a FOBIK transmitter
(if enabled).

The memory system also has a customer programmable easy exit feature. When the ignition switch is turned
off, the driver seat will move rearward 55 millimeters (2.2 inches) or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs
first.

The memory system includes the following components:

Body Control Module (BCM) - located behind the passenger side of the instrument panel.
FOBIK Transmitter - located in each key fob.
Hall Effect Sensors - Power Drivers Mirror - located in the two drivers side view mirror motors. Used
to provide a reference signal to the memory seat module, letting the module know the exact position of
the mirror.
Hall Effect Sensors - Power Seat - located in each of the power seat track and recliner motor. Used to
provide a reference signal to the memory seat module, letting the module know the exact position of the
seat and recliner.
Hall Effect Sensors - Power Adjustable Steering Column - located in the two steering column motors.
They are used to provide a reference signal to the memory seat module, letting the module know the exact
position of the column.
Memory Seat Module (MSM) - located underneath the driver seat.
Memory Seat Switch - located in the driver door trim panel.
Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) - located in the instrument panel.

3 of 19
 Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other electronic modules
in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The CAN bus allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, internal controller hardware and component sensor
current loads. At the same time, this system provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics and allows the
addition of many new feature capabilities. A scan tool is required for diagnosis of the electronic modules and
the CAN bus Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .

OPERATION
POWER SEAT SYSTEM

When a power seat switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the power seat
switch contacts to the Memory Seat Module (MSM). The MSM then applies power and ground to the
appropriate motor or motors. The motor and drive unit operate to move the seat adjuster, seat back or lumbar
support (when equipped) in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the
drive unit is reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and ground path to
the motor is reversed through the switch contacts. This causes the motor to run in the opposite direction. Power
seats remain operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.

NOTE: When equipped with memory seat system, anytime a driver power seat motor or
seat track is replaced, the Memory Seat Module (MSM) must be cleared of all
learned parameters using a scan tool and the Power Seat System Verification
test must be performed.

The motors, gearboxes and linkage for the power seat adjuster, power reclining seat back and power lumbar
support cannot be adjusted or serviced separately. If a motor, gearbox or linkage for the power seat adjuster,
power recliner or power lumbar becomes inoperative or damaged, the entire power seat adjuster and pan
assembly, or the seat back frame assembly must be replaced. Refer to COVER, SEAT BACK, FRONT,
REMOVAL or COVER, SEAT BACK, REAR, REMOVAL .

MEMORY SEAT SYSTEM

The Memory Seat Module (MSM) receives battery current through a fuse located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) and remains operational, regardless if the vehicle is running or not. When a driver memory seat
switch button is actuated, a resistance signal is sent to the MSM over the Controller Area Network (CAN)
Interior High Speed (IHS) bus. The MSM is responsible for the battery feed and ground path to the power seat
adjuster motors. The adjuster motors operate to move the power seat to the correct preset location.

The MSM receives memory set/position switch input over the CAN bus. The MSM also receives hard wired
input from the hall effect sensors, mounted on each of the driver power seat adjuster motors, driver side view
mirror motors and power adjustable steering column motors, when equipped. The programmed software in the
module allows it to know where the seat/mirror/column is located in its designed travel by a pulse count
generated from the hall effect sensors. This way, when the memory switch is pressed the module will power the
seat adjuster/mirror/column motors until the correct preset location is achieved. The module will prevent the
seat memory recall function from being initiated if the transmission gear selector lever is not in the Park
position, or if the vehicle is moving. These inputs are monitored over the CAN IHS bus by the MSM.

A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button
within five seconds of pressing the "set" button.

A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the unlock button
on a "linked" FOBIK transmitter.

 For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other than Park or
the seat belt is latched.

Certain functions and features of the memory seat system rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the CAN IHS bus. The CAN IHS bus allows the sharing of sensor information. This
helps to reduce wire harness complexity, internal controller hardware and component sensor current loads. At
the same time, the memory seat system provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics and allows the
addition of new feature capabilities.

NOTE: Anytime a new Memory Seat Module (MSM) or a driver power seat motor or seat
track is replaced, the MSM must be cleared of all learned parameters using a
scan tool and the Power Seat System Verification test must be performed.

The use of a scan tool is needed for diagnosis of the memory seat system, CAN IHS bus and other electronic
modules. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

MEMORY SEAT SYSTEM

In order to obtain conclusive testing of the power seats with and without the memory system option, the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive
outputs from the memory system components must be checked. Use a scan tool and the proper diagnostic
information to accurately diagnose the power seat and memory seat systems.

NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the memory/heated seat option utilize a low voltage cut-
off feature. This feature turns off battery power to the power seat system
anytime vehicle voltage is below 11 volts. Be certain to check the vehicle
electrical system for proper voltage anytime the power seat system appears
inoperative.

Before any testing of the power seat system is attempted, the battery should be fully-charged. Refer to
BATTERY, STANDARD PROCEDURE .

NOTE: For complete circuit diagrams, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING

DIAGRAMS article . Wiring Information includes wiring diagrams, connector
pin-out and location views, details of wire harness routing and retention, splice
and ground locations and proper wire and connector repair procedures.

Operate the power seat switches and power lumbar support switch. Move the seat, seat back and power lumbar
support in all directions. The seat and lumbar support should move in each of the selected directions. If any of
the power seat and/or lumbar support motors fail to operate in more than one direction, proceed as follows:

1. Inspect the power seat motors, power lumbar motors and Memory Seat Module (MSM) to ensure the
electrical connectors are fully connected to the motors. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, reconnect the
electrical connector(s).
2. Check the power seat fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
replace the fuse.
3. Remove the power seat switch and/or power lumbar switch from the seat cushion side panel. Check for

5 of 19
 battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the switch wire harness connector. If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, repair the open circuit as required.
4. Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity of the power seat switch and/or power lumbar
switch wire harness connector and a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the open circuit to ground as required.
5. Test the power seat switch and/or power lumbar switch and. Refer to SWITCH, SEAT, DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING. Refer to SWITCH, LUMBAR CONTROL, DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING. If the
switch tests OK, check the wire harness between the switch and the MSM and then the MSM and the
motor(s) (refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article ). If the circuits check OK,
replace the inoperative power seat track and pan assembly or the seat back assembly. If the circuits are
not OK, repair the wire harness as required.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
MEMORY SYSTEM PROGRAMMING

The Memory Seat Module (MSM) interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system via the Controller
Area Network (CAN) bus. The proper procedure of setting and recalling a memory position using the RKE is as
follows:

1. Press and release memory switch 1 or 2 to recall memory position 1 or 2.

2. Adjust the seat, recliner, adjustable pedal position, set radio station presets, set HVAC temperature preset,
and the side view mirrors to the desired position.
3. Press momentarily and release memory switch S.
4. Within five seconds, press momentarily and release memory switch 1 or 2.
5. To link the RKE transmitter: within ten seconds, press and release the "LOCK" button on one of the RKE
transmitters

To program the second driver's position, repeat the above procedure using memory switch 2. The second RKE
transmitter can be programmed in the same fashion as indicated in. Refer to 5.

NOTE: The module will abort a recall if the transmission is moved out of park or if any
seat movement is activated whether manually or by memory recall. The module
will also abort a recall if any movement of the adjustable pedals is detected.

To recall either of the programmed positions momentarily press and release either memory selector switch 1 or
2. If using RKE, just press and release the "UNLOCK" button on the proper transmitter for either position 1 or
2.

A recall is possible any time the vehicle transmission is in PARK and the seatbelt is unbuckled. This condition
is monitored by the MSM.

SWITCH, LUMBAR CONTROL

DESCRIPTION

6 of 19
 The driver power lumbar can be adjusted in four different ways using the power lumbar switch, located on the
outboard seat cushion side shield, on models so equipped. The power lumbar support can be adjusted inward,
outward, upward and downward for added driver comfort.

OPERATION

When a power lumbar support switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the
switch contacts to the power lumbar support adjuster. The selected lumbar support adjuster motor operates the
lumbar support adjuster mechanism through its drive unit in the selected direction 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 selected power
lumbar support adjuster motor to run in the opposite direction.

On vehicles equipped with the memory seat system, the driver memory seat switch provides a resistive
signal/input to the Memory Seat Module (MSM). The MSM is responsible for the 12 volt battery feed and
ground path to the power lumbar support adjuster motor.

No power lumbar support switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power lumbar support adjuster motors each contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them
from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker may result in motor damage.

The power lumbar switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if damaged or inoperative.

SWITCH, MEMORY

9 of 19
 DESCRIPTION

When equipped, the memory seat switch (2) is located on the driver door trim panel (1). The driver seating
position can be automatically adjusted for two different driver preference settings using the memory seat switch.
The memory seat system is able to store and recall all driver power seat positions (fore/aft, up/down, tilt and
recline), driver side power rear view mirror position and the power adjustable steering column position, when
equipped. The memory system is also able to store and recall up to twenty radio station presets for two drivers
(ten AM and ten FM). The memory system also will store and recall the last station listened to for each driver,
even if it is not one of the twenty preset stations.

OPERATION

When one of the two driver memory seat switches is pressed, a resistance signal is sent to the Memory Seat
Module (MSM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) Interior High Speed (IHS) data bus. The MSM is
responsible for the 12 volt Direct Current (DC) feed and ground path to the power seat motors.

The MSM receives the memory seat switch set and selection inputs through the CAN-IHS bus circuit, along
with input signals from the hall effect sensors in the driver side mirror and power adjustable steering column
(when equipped), and hardwired input signals from the hall effect sensors mounted in each of the driver power
seat motors. The programmed software in the module allow it to know where the driver seat, driver side mirror
and power adjustable steering column (when equipped) are located in their designed travel, by the pulse count
generated from each hall effect sensor. This way, when a memory switch is pressed, the MSM powers the driver
seat, driver side mirror and power adjustable steering column (when equipped), until each correct preset
location is achieved. The MSM will prevent seat memory recall function from being initiated if the transmission
gear selector lever is not in the Park position or if the driver seat belt is latched. These inputs are monitored by
the MSM over the CAN-IHS bus.

A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button
within five seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the unlock
button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
