Circuit Description

The seat memory control module monitors the position of the seat motors by using hall effect position sensors which are an internal part of each motor. The module supplies each sensor with a 12 V reference circuit only when any seat motor is active, and a low side signal circuit. During seat motor operation, the hall effect position sensor provides a determined number of pulse signals for every revolution of the motor shaft. The scan tool displays these pulse signals as counts that range from 0-65,535. The module counts the feedback pulses from each sensor to determine seat position and end of travel limits for each of the seat motors. High scan tool count values indicate forward or upward seat positions while low count values indicate rearward or downward seat positions.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  1. Any seat motor must be active.
  2. DTC B1325 must not be present.
  3. Module battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The seat memory control module does not detect position sensor movement or pulse signals while the adjuster motor is active. The following conditions will set this DTC

B1405 02

The seat memory control module detects a short to ground or an open on the 12 V reference circuit.

B1825 01, B2355 01, B2365 01, or B2375 01

The seat memory control module detects a voltage greater than 5 V on the sensor signal circuit.

B1825 06, B2355 06, B2365 06, or B2375 06

The seat memory control module detects a short to ground or an open on the sensor signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  1. With a short to ground or an open circuit, the seat memory control module disables the memory recall and easy exit/entry action commands of the motor monitored by the sensor. The motor will respond to manual position commands.
  2. With a short to battery voltage, the seat memory control module disables the memory recall and easy exit/entry action commands for all four seat motors. The motors will respond to manual position commands.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  1. The current DTC clears when the fault is no longer present and the power mode changes to OFF then back to ACC or RUN.
  2. The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Description

The seat memory control module supplies a reference voltage to each signal circuit of the driver seat adjuster switch. When the power seat or lumbar/bolster switches are pressed, the appropriate signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low through the switch contacts indicating the power seat command. The seat memory control module then commands the driver seat or lumbar/bolster to move in response to the switch signals.

  1. DTC B1325 must not be present.
  2. Module battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
  1. If a seat or lumbar/bolster switch circuit is active in one direction and the switch for the opposite direction is pressed, this DTC will set.
  2. A short to ground on a switch signal circuit.
  1. A motor output driven in response to a switch considered failed, is deactivated for both directions.
  2. All memory recall commands are ignored.
  3. The seat memory control module will respond to any other switch signal that has not set a DTC.
  1. The current DTC will clear and set the DTC to history, when the fault is no longer present and the ignition is cycled OFF then back to ACC or RUN.
  2. The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

  1. If one of the switch signal circuits is shorted to ground, multiple DTCs will set.
  2. If a switch is stuck in one direction and the switch is pressed in the opposite direction, a single DTC will set.

The seat memory control module controls the seat motors, lumbar/bolster pump motor via half bridges that are connected to power rails internal to the module. The seat memory control module connects all of the motor control circuits on each power rail to a common reference point. The module monitors all seat motor control circuits for a shorted to ground or battery before enabling any seat motor.

When a power seat switch is pressed or when a memory recall is requested, each seat motor receives battery voltage and ground from the seat memory control module via the motor control circuits. All motors are reversible, so the direction the motor rotates depends on which control circuit voltage is applied and which control circuit ground is applied. When the switch is operated in the opposite direction, the module reverses the polarity and applies voltage and ground to the opposite circuits to move the seat in the opposite direction.

  1. DTC B1325 must not be present.
  2. Module battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.

B3920 00

Current out of the module does not match the current returning to the module from 1.5-5 A.

B3920 01

The voltage on any power rail 1 motor control circuit exceeds 2.78 V for 100 ms.

B3920 02

The voltage on any power rail 1 motor control circuit is below 1.47 V for 100 ms.

B3920 0B

The differential current measured through the high and low side of the power rail is within tolerance of each other, but the absolute current or an over-current has exceeded the maximum value.

The seat memory control module will not allow operation of any motor on the power rail for which the DTC was set.

  1. The current DTC clears when the fault is no longer present and the power mode changes to OFF then back to ACC or RUN.
  2. The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch through a 30 A fuse located in the underhood fuse block. When a lumbar switch is pressed to inflate the lumbar support, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the inflate control circuit to the seat lumbar support pump. In response to this signal, the pump energizes its internal inflate solenoid and runs to inflate the lumbar bladder until the switch is released. When the switch is pressed to deflate the lumbar support, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the deflate signal circuit to the seat lumbar support pump. The pump energizes its internal deflate solenoid and air is released from the bladder until the switch is released.

1. Power seat and memory functions inoperative 2. Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device 3. Lumbar support is inoperative

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a fuse located in the underhood fuse block. This voltage is used by the module for logic power. Battery positive voltage is also supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a circuit breaker located in the instrument panel fuse block. This voltage is connected to a power rail internal to the seat memory control module and is used to drive the power seat motors. Each seat motor is controlled by the seat memory control module by applying power and ground through the control circuits to the motor.

All motors are reversible. For example, when the seat switch is operated to move the entire seat forward, the switch signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low indicating the entire seat forward command. In response to this signal, the seat memory control module applies battery voltage through the driver seat horizontal motor forward control circuit and ground through the driver seat horizontal motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

The driver seat without memory and the passenger seat are completely controlled through their respective seat adjuster switches. Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch through a circuit breaker located in the instrument panel fuse block. When the seat switches are in an inactive state, the switch contacts are closed to the switch ground circuit.

All seat motors are reversible. For example, when the seat horizontal forward switch is pressed to move the entire seat forward, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the seat horizontal motor forward control circuit to the motor. With the horizontal motor rearward switch contacts closed to the switch ground circuit, the motor runs in order to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All seat motors are powered this way.

Driver Seat Adjuster Switch

Ground is supplied at all times to the driver seat adjuster switch through the switch ground circuit and ground connection. The seat memory control module supplies a low current voltage to each signal circuit of the seat adjuster switch. When the driver seat adjuster switches are pressed, the appropriate signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low through the switch contacts indicating the power seat command. The seat memory control module then commands the appropriate driver seat motor to move in response to the switch signal.

Seat Memory Control Module Power and Grounds

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a 30 A fuse located in the underhood fuse block. This voltage is used by the module to apply power to the driver seat and lumbar motor when commanded ON. Battery positive voltage is also applied at all times to the seat memory control module through a 10 A fuse located in the rear body fuse block. This voltage is used to power up the module, seat adjuster switch signal circuits, and the seat position sensors. Ground is provided to the seat memory control module through the module ground circuit and ground connection.

Seat Motors

There are 4 motors that move the position of the seat. These are the seat horizontal motor, seat front vertical motor, seat rear vertical motor, and the seat back recline motor. The horizontal motor moves the entire seat forward and rearward. The seat front vertical motor moves the front of the seat cushion up or down. The seat rear vertical motor moves the rear of the seat cushion up and down. Due to the seat adjuster switch design the front tilt and the seat height adjuster motor cannot be operated at the same time The recline motor moves the angle of the seat back forward or rearward.

The seat memory control module controls all seat and lumbar motors via half bridges that are connected to a single power rail internal to the module. The module connects all seat and lumbar motor outputs to a common ground whenever they are not in operation. The seat memory control module checks to see if any motor control circuits are shorted to ground or voltage before enabling any seat or lumbar motor. All of the motors operate independently of each other. Each motor contains a electronic circuit breaker (PTC), which will reset only after voltage has been removed from the motor.

All seat motors are reversible. For example, when a seat switch is pressed to move the entire seat forward, ground is applied through the switch contacts onto the seat horizontal forward switch signal circuit to the seat memory control module. In response to this signal, the module applies battery voltage through the driver seat horizontal motor forward control circuit and ground through the driver seat horizontal motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the entire seat forward. Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All of the motors are powered this way.

Position Sensors

To monitor seat position, each seat motor has an internal 2-wire hall-effect position sensor. The seat memory control module supplies all the sensors with a common 12 V reference when the seat is moving and a unique signal circuit for each sensor. During seat motor operation, the position sensors provide a specific number of pulse signals for every revolution of the motor shaft.

The seat memory control module determines seat position by keeping a running counter where movement in the forward/upward direction adds counts and movement in the rearward/down direction subtracts counts. The value of the counter will be in the range of 0 - 65,535

The value of these counters, which represent seat positions, are stored in memory for future seat memory recall operation. During a memory seat position recall, the seat memory control module moves the seat in such a way to return it the stored counter value.

Memory Functions

In all power modes except crank, memory recalls can be initiated by pressing and holding one of the memory position buttons until the seat reaches the stored memory position associated with the activated button. This is called a supervised recall.

Un-supervised recalls, a momentary push of memory recall switch, are available when the ignition is ON and the vehicle transmission is the park position.

The seat memory control module supplies a ground at all times through a low reference circuit to the driver seat memory switch. The module also supplies memory set and memory recall signal circuits to the seat memory switch. When a memory recall switch is pressed, the signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low through the switch contacts and a series of resistors indicating the memory recall request. In response to this signal, the seat memory control module commands the appropriate seat motors to move to the pre-recorded seat positions stored in memory.

Refer to the Owner's Manual for storing memory positions.

Auto Memory Recall and Easy Exit

The seat memory control module will not perform Auto Memory Seat Recall and Easy Exit functions unless these options are enabled in vehicle personalization using the radio/HVAC controls.

Refer to Instruments and Controls/Vehicle Personalization in the Owner's Manual for the following memory personalization options

  1. Auto Memory Recall
  2. Easy Exit Options

The radio/HVAC controls reports the auto memory recall option settings to the seat memory control module via serial data message. The module will then store the memory recall option setting and examine it before making a memory seat adjustment. The auto memory recall option setting stored within the module will not change until the auto memory recall option setting in vehicle personalization is changed.

Power Seats System Description and Operation

The driver and passenger power seat systems each consist of the following components

  1. Seat adjuster switch
  2. Seat horizontal motor
  3. Seat front vertical motor (If Equipped)
  4. Seat rear vertical motor
  5. Seat recline motor

The seat switches provide both power and ground to the selected seat motors.

All of the seat motors operate independently of each other. Each motor contains an electronic circuit breaker (PTC) that opens in the event of a circuit overload and will reset only after voltage has been removed from the circuit. There are four seat position motors and two lumbar motors. These are the horizontal motor, front vertical motor, rear vertical motor, and the seat back recline motor. The seat horizontal motor moves the entire seat forward and rearward. The seat vertical motors may operate independently to tilt the front or rear of the seat cushion up or down. Both motors can also run simultaneously to move the entire seat up or down. The recline motor moves the angle of the seat back forward or rearward.

Seat Operation

All seat motors are reversible. For example, when the seat horizontal forward switch is pressed to move the entire seat forward, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the seat horizontal motor forward control circuit to the motor. With the horizontal motor rearward switch contacts closed to the switch ground circuit, the motor runs in order to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All seat motors are powered this way.

Seat Side Bolster Description and Operation

The driver seat side bolsters system consists of the following components

  1. Seat adjuster switch
  2. Seat memory control module
  3. Seat lumbar/bolster pump

Ground is supplied at all times to the driver seat adjuster switch through the switch ground circuit and ground connection. The seat memory control module supplies a low current voltage to each signal circuit of the seat adjuster switch. When the lumbar/bolster switch is pressed in the up direction to inflate the seat side bolsters, the seat side bolster inflate signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low through the switch contacts indicating the seat side bolster inflate command. The seat memory control module then applies battery voltage through the bolster inflate control circuit and ground through the bolster deflate control circuit to the seat lumbar/bolster pump. The pump runs to inflate the seat back side bolsters until the switch is released. When the lumbar/bolster switch is pressed in the down direction, the seat side bolster deflate signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low indicating the seat side bolster deflate command. The seat memory control module then applies battery voltage through the bolster deflate control circuit and ground through the bolster inflate control circuit to the seat lumbar/bolster pump. The pump energizes its internal deflate solenoid and air is released from the bladders until the switch is released.
