DESCRIPTION

Note. For additional information about power seats, see appropriate POWER SEATS article. For additional information about power mirrors, see appropriate POWER MIRRORS article.

The memory seat and mirror system allows the driver's seat to be set in 4 preset positions: MEMORY 1, MEMORY 2, EXIT 1 and EXIT 2. The Memory Seat Module (MSM) controls movement of 3 seat position motors, 2 lumbar support motors and one recline motor. The Memory Mirror Module (MMM) controls movement of 2 left mirror motors and 2 right mirror motors. All motors have a position sensor, and work independently of each other. On DeVille, MMM receives manual seat operation inputs from left seat switch. MMM then sends a message over the class 2 serial data line to MSM. MSM then supplies voltage to appropriate seat motors. On Eldorado, MSM receives manual seat operation inputs directly from the left seat switch. MSM then supplies voltage to appropriate seat motors.

REGULAR PRODUCTION OPTION (RPO) CODES (1)

EASY EXIT

An easy exit position may also be recorded for each memorized driver position. Move seat to comfortable exit position. Press SET MEMORY button. A chime will sound. Within 5 seconds, press EXIT button. Memory Mirror Module (MMM) identifies memorized position for last recall or set command, and sends a class 2 message to inform MSM of appropriate set exit command to record. MSM then records feedback voltages of forward/back, rear height, front height and recline position sensors. A single chime will sound to indicate position has been recorded.

MEMORY INHIBIT/ENABLE

Memory Mirror Module (MMM) receives park gear and ignition inputs via class 2 messages. When ignition is off, memory record, memory recall, personalization recall, and exit recall functions are allowed. When ignition is on and gearshift lever is in Park, only personalization recall is deactivated and all other memory functions are allowed. When ignition is on and gearshift is out of Park, memory record is allowed, but all other memory functions are deactivated.

MEMORY RECALL

When MEMORY-1 or MEMORY-2 button is pressed, Memory Mirror Module (MMM) receives input and a single chime is sounded. MMM then applies voltage to mirror motors until feedback voltage of all mirror position sensors equals the appropriate stored feedback voltages. MMM also sends a class 2 message to Memory Seat Module (MSM), which then applies voltage to all seat motors until feedback voltage of all seat position sensors equals the appropriate stored feedback voltages. When EXIT button is pressed, a single chime will sound. MMM identifies driver position of last set or recall command, and sends a class 2 message to MSM. MSM then moves forward/back, rear height, front height, and recline motors until feedback voltage of position sensors equals the appropriate stored feedback voltages.

MEMORY SET

Memory Mirror Module (MMM) receives input from memory function switch. Seat, seatback, lumbar and mirror positions may be recorded for 2 drivers. When SET MEMORY button is pressed, a chime will sound. Within 5 seconds, either MEMORY-1 or MEMORY-2 button must be pressed. When these inputs are received by MMM, the feedback voltages from 4 position sensors is recorded. A single chime will sound to indicate position has been recorded. A class 2 message will also be sent to MSM. MSM then records all feedback voltages from all seat position sensors.

POWER MOTORS

Power seat uses 3 reversible motors that control seat position. Front and back parts of seat are operated by different motors, and can be raised and lowered independently. Third motor controls forward/backward movement. If seat switch is operated to move entire seat up and down, both vertical motors run simultaneously. Recline motor moves angle of seatback. Lumbar support is controlled by an up/down motor and in/out motor. Each power mirror uses an up/down motor and a left/right motor. All motors are reversible, allowing motors to operate movement in each direction.

POSITION SENSORS

Position sensors are used by Memory Seat Module (MSM) and Memory Mirror Module (MMM) to store motor positions in memory and return motors to stored memory positions. Each sensor is a potentiometer, and is mounted to each motor's transmission cable. When cable rotates, resistance of potentiometer varies, and feedback voltage is monitored by MSM or MMM to determine motor position. Feedback voltages vary between 0.25 volt to 4.75 volts. The MSM and MMM store motor positions by recording each position sensor feedback voltage. When a memorized position is requested, each motor is moved until the position sensor feedback voltage equals feedback voltage stored in memory. For easy exit functions, only seat position sensor feedback voltages are recorded and only seat motors operate.

RECALL PERSONALIZATION

When a remote keyless entry transmitter is used to unlock doors, Remote Function Actuator (RFA) sends a class 2 message to inform Memory Mirror Module (MMM) of command and indicate which driver performed the command. When MMM receives an unlock message, 3 personalized recall options are available

  1. Recall immediately upon receipt of RFA message.
  2. Recall when a key-in message is received using last known driver to record or recall.
  3. Do not recall upon receipt of RFA message. Only perform recall functions using memory function switches.
  4. Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) personalization messages.
  5. Radio personalization messages.

MEMORY MIRROR MODULE (MMM) DTCS

MEMORY SEAT MODULE (MSM) DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

CAUTIONTo prevent damage to terminals, Connector Test Adaptor Kit (J-35616-A) must be used whenever a diagnostic procedure requires checking or probing terminals. To locate and identify terminals, see WIRING DIAGRAMS .

Memory Seat Module (MSM) supplies a 5-volt reference voltage to all seat position sensors using circuit No. 788 (Gray wire). DTC B0846 will set when 5-volt feed voltage is not about 4.6-5.2 volts. When DTC is set, MSM will not allow any memory recall function. Only manual seat movement is allowed, and only one motor can operate at a time. DTC B0846 will clear when 5-volt feed voltage is within a valid operating range during the last monitoring cycle.

Diagnostic Procedure

  1. If power seats system check was performed, go to next step. If power seats system check was not performed, go to SYSTEM CHECKS under TROUBLE SHOOTING in POWER SEATS - DEVILLE & ELDORADO article.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect front vertical position sensor connector. Using DVOM, measure voltage between front vertical position sensor harness connector terminal "B" (Gray wire) and ground. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/cadillac/deville-concours/i-final-1999-1999/remont/memory-modules/#memory-system). If about zero volts exists, go to step 6. If about zero volts does not exist, go to next step.
  3. If about 12 volts exists, go to step 7. If about 12 volts does not exist, go to next step.
  4. Disconnect MSM Natural, 26-pin connector C1. Using DVOM, measure resistance between MSM harness connector C1 terminal No. 13 (Gray wire) and ground. (Scheme 4) If 5 ohms exists, go to next step. If 5 ohms does not exist, go to step 8.
  5. Replace MSM. See «MEMORY SEAT MODULE»(/cadillac/deville-concours/i-final-1999-1999/remont/memory-modules/#memory-system) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step 9.
  6. Repair short to ground in circuit No. 788 (Gray wire) between position sensor and MSM. Go to step 9.
  7. Repair short to voltage in circuit No. 788 (Gray wire) between position sensor and MSM. Go to step 9.
  8. Repair open in circuit No. 788 (Gray wire) between MSM and splice S348. Go to next step.
  9. Clear DTCs. Reconnect all disconnected connectors. Recheck system operation.

Memory Seat Module (MSM) is supplied battery voltage from SEATS circuit breaker (30-amp) in left MaxiFuse(R) Block using circuit No. 742 (Red wire). This battery voltage is used to operate seat motors. DTC B0856 will set when battery voltage falls out of range of 9.0-15.5 volts. DTC B0856 will clear when dirty battery voltage is within a valid operating range during the last monitoring cycle.

Check battery for proper voltage, and repair or replace as necessary. If battery is okay, repair open or short in circuit No. 742 (Red wire) between MSM and left MaxiFuse(R) Block. Recheck system operation.

  2. Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Select DATA from MSM DATA LIST. If reading is 15.5 volts, go to step 4 . If reading is not 15.5 volts, go to next step.
  3. Disconnect MSM Light Green 6-pin connector C2. Using DVOM, measure voltage between MSM connector C2 terminal "D" (Orange wire) and ground. If reading is greater than 15.5 volts, locate and repair problem in charging system. See appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS. If reading is not greater than 15.5 volts, go to next step.
  4. Replace MSM. See «MEMORY SEAT MODULE»(/cadillac/deville-concours/i-final-1999-1999/remont/memory-modules/#memory-system) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repairs, go to next step.
  5. Turn ignition off. Reconnect all disconnected components and connectors. Turn ignition on and clear DTCs. If DTC is no longer present, go to power seats system check.

Diagnostic Aids

These DTCs will not allow most other DTCs to set. DTC B1982 may set if vehicle is placed on a battery charger on fast charge for a long period of time.

Memory Seat Module (MSM) is supplied battery voltage using circuit No. 1840 (Orange wire). MSM monitors battery voltage to ensure it is in within valid operating range. DTC B1983 will set when battery voltage is less than 9 volts. When DTC B1983 is set, MSM will not respond to any manual or memory inputs from switches. DTC B1983 will clear when condition for setting the code no longer exists.

  1. If power seats system check was performed, go to next step. If power seats system check was not performed, go to SYSTEM CHECKS under TROUBLE SHOOTING in POWER SEATS - DEVILLE & ELDORADO article.
  2. Turn ignition on. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Select SNAPSHOT from MSM APPLICATION MENU. Trigger snapshot and start engine. Turn engine off and turn ignition back on, engine off. Plot data from snapshot. If reading is greater than 9 volts, go to step 4 . If reading is not greater than 9 volts, go to next step.
  3. Disconnect MSM Light Green, 6-pin connector C2. Using DVOM, measure voltage between MSM connector C2 terminal "D" (Orange wire) and ground. If reading is less than 9 volts, locate and repair problem in charging system. See appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS. If reading is greater than 9 volts, go to next step.
  4. Replace MSM. See «MEMORY SEAT MODULE»(/cadillac/deville-concours/i-final-1999-1999/remont/memory-modules/#memory-system) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repairs, go to next step.
  5. Turn ignition off. Reconnect all disconnected components and connectors. Turn ignition on and clear DTCs. If DTC is no longer present, go to power seats system check.

These DTCs will not allow most other DTCs to set. DTC B1982 may set if vehicle is placed on a battery charger on fast charge for a long period of time.

DTC B2101: RECLINE AFT SWITCH FAILED, B2102: RECLINE FORWARD SWITCH FAILED, B2103: REAR VERTICAL DOWN SWITCH FAILED, B2104: REAR VERTICAL UP SWITCH FAILED, B2105: HORIZONTAL AFT SWITCH FAILED, B2106: HORIZONTAL FORWARD SWITCH FAILED, B2107: FRONT VERTICAL DOWN SWITCH FAILED OR B2108: FRONT VERTICAL UP SWITCH FAILED

Note. DTCs will only set if B1982 or B1983 are not set as current in Memory Seat Module (MSM).

Memory Seat Module (MSM) receives inputs from left seat switch. When switch is operated, it becomes grounded. The input is recognized by MSM, which moves seat in appropriate direction. If MSM continues to receive input from seat switch for 30 seconds after motion in requested direction has ceased, switch is considered shorted. If a seat position sensor DTC is currently set and switch is in associated direction of suspect sensor for 30 seconds, switch is considered shorted. Appropriate MSM DTC will set when a switch failure is detected. When DTC is set, associated motor outputs of suspect switch will be deactivated. MSM will continue to respond to valid inputs from other manual switches. All memory recall commands will be ignored. DTC will clear when MSM does not detect switch failure during last monitoring cycle.

  1. If power seats system check was performed, go to next step. If power seats system check was not performed, go to SYSTEM CHECKS under TROUBLE SHOOTING in POWER SEATS - DEVILLE & ELDORADO article.
  2. Turn ignition on. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Disconnect left seat switch connector. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. After 30 seconds, check for DTCs. If DTC is reset, go to next step. If DTC is not reset, go to step 5 .
  3. Using DVOM, measure voltage between MSM connector C1 terminal corresponding with description of set DTC and ground.

Memory Seat Module (MSM) receives inputs from position sensors during memory set, memory recall and easy exit functions. Lumbar support does not move during easy exit function. As motor moves seat, potentiometers in position sensor varies in resistance. MSM receives a variable voltage input depending on resistance of potentiometer. During memory set, MSM records voltage across all seat and lumbar potentiometers. During memory recall, MSM moves motors until voltage across each potentiometer matches stored voltages. During easy exit, MSM moves seat motors until voltages matched stored voltages. During normal operation, position sensors are checked against out-of-range limits. DTC will not set if DTC B1982 or B1983 is current. MSM DTC will set when position sensor out-of-range is detected. MSM will set DTC when it detects the sensor input voltage is out of range (less than 0.25 volt or greater than 4.75 volts). When DTC is set, MSM will disable suspect motor during memory recall and easy exit functions. Motor will remain enabled for manual positioning. DTC will clear when MSM does not detect position sensor failure during last monitoring cycle.

Memory Mirror Module (MMM) receives inputs from memory function switch. When a switch is operated, it becomes grounded. MMM recognizes each input, performs the requested action and sends a class 2 message to MSM. MSM then also performs the requested action. When any memory function switch input continues to be active for 30 seconds after motion in requested direction has ceased, switch is considered shorted. Appropriate DTC will set when a switch failure is detected. When DTC is set, associated motor outputs of suspect switch will be deactivated. MMM will continue to respond to valid inputs from other manual switches. All memory recall commands will be ignored. DTC will clear when MMM does not detect switch failure during last monitoring cycle.

  1. Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Disconnect memory function switch. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. After 30 seconds, check for DTCs. If DTC is reset, go to next step. If DTC is not reset, go to step 3.

Memory Mirror Module (MMM) receives inputs from outside mirror switch. Mirror select switch must be placed in either right or left position in order to operate outside mirror switch. When mirror switch is operated, more than one input is sent from outside mirror switch to MMM. When MMM recognizes input combination, appropriate mirror will be moved in requested direction. If MMM does not recognize input combination as valid, input will be ignored and mirror will not be moved. When any mirror switch input continues to be active for 30 seconds after motion in requested direction has ceased, switch is considered shorted. Appropriate DTC will set when a switch failure is detected. When DTC is set, associated motor outputs of suspect switch will be deactivated. MMM will continue to respond to valid inputs from other manual switches. All memory recall commands will be ignored. DTC will clear when MMM does not detect switch failure during last monitoring cycle.
