Climate Control Panel (CCP) Data List

Circuit Description

Battery positive voltage is supplied to the memory seat module (MSM)/driver position module (DPM) from the seats circuit breaker located in the left rear fuse block. When commanded, this voltage is used by the MSM/DPM to power the seat motors through the motor control circuits. During memory recall functions and manual seat functions, the driven motor current is monitored through the motor control circuits by the MSM/DPM. When an overcurrent condition is detected, the MSM/DPM disables the seat motors in order to protect the internal MSM/DPM circuitry.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC

DTC B1335 Device Power 3 Circuit Range/Performance

Conditions for Running the DTC

The MSM/DPM monitors for overcurrent only when the seat motors are active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The MSM/DPM will set DTC B1335 when the measured current exceeds 81 amps for 100 milliseconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  1. All memory recalls in progress are aborted.
  2. The MSM/DPM will not respond to manual movements of the affected motor.

The MSM must be powered and cannot have DTC B1327 - Battery Voltage Low as an active DTC for this DTC to set.

  1. If a seat switch continues to be active for 30 seconds after a motor controlled by that switch reaches the end of its travel, the switch will be considered shorted and the MSM will set the DTC.
  2. If a position sensor DTC is current and the associated switch is active for 30 continuous seconds, the switch will be considered shorted and the MSM will set a switch DTC.
  3. A switch DTC will not set if DTC B1327 current.
  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 MSM will respond to any other switch signal that has not set a DTC.

The DTC automatically clears when the switch circuit setting the DTC is no longer active.

The MSM is also known as the driver position module (DPM) for this vehicle.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2: This step checks the existing state of the driver's seat switch by using the current state of the signal parameter. If all of the seat switch parameters display active, possibly one of the seat switch signal circuits is shorted to voltage.

Power Seats System Description and Operation (w/o A45)

The passenger power seat system consists of the following components

  1. Seat Adjuster Switch
  2. Seat Horizontal Motor
  3. Seat Front Vertical Motor
  4. Seat Rear Vertical Motor
  5. Seat Recline Motor
  6. SEATS Circuit Breaker 30 A

Seat Adjuster Switch

The seat adjuster switches provide both power and ground to the selected seat motors. Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the passenger seat adjuster switches from the SEATS Circuit Breaker located in the left rear fuse block. Both seat adjuster switches are grounded through the switch ground circuit and G30.

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 4 seat position motors. These are the horizontal motor, front vertical motor, rear vertical motor, and the seat back recline motor. The 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.

Horizontal

When the seat switch is operated to move the entire seat forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the horizontal motor forward control circuit to the motor. The motor is grounded through the horizontal motor rearward switch contacts and the horizontal motor rearward control circuit to the motor. 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 positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Rear Vertical

When the seat switch is operated to tilt the rear of the seat cushion up, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the rear vertical motor up control circuit to the rear vertical motor. The motor is grounded through the down switch contacts and the rear vertical motor down control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the rear of the seat cushion up until the switch is released. Tilting the rear of the seat cushion down works similarly to tilting the rear of the seat cushion up, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Front Vertical

When the seat switch is operated to tilt the front of the seat cushion up, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the front vertical motor up control circuit to the motor. The motor is grounded through the down switch contacts and the front vertical motor down control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the front of the seat cushion up until the switch is released. Tilting the front of the seat cushion down works similarly to tilting the front of the seat cushion up, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Entire Seat Up or Down

When the seat switch is operated in order to move the entire seat to the up position, battery positive voltage is simultaneously applied through the front and rear vertical motor up switch contacts and the front and rear vertical motor up control circuits to both vertical motors. The motors are grounded through the down switch contacts and the front and rear vertical motor down control circuits to both vertical motors. Both motors run simultaneously in order to drive the entire seat up until the switch is released. Moving the entire seat down works similarly to moving the entire seat up, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motors to run in the opposite direction.

Recline

When the seat recline switch is operated to move the seat back forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the recline motor forward control circuit to the motor. The motor is grounded through the rearward switch contacts and the recline motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to move the seat back forward until the switch is released. Moving the seat back rearward works similarly to moving the seat back forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Power Seats System Description and Operation (with A45 Disabled)

The driver power seat system with a non-memory configured memory seat module (MSM) consists of the following components

  1. Memory Seat Module
  2. Seat Adjuster Switch
  3. Seat Horizontal Motor
  4. Seat Front Vertical Motor
  5. Seat Rear Vertical Motor
  6. Seat Recline Motor
  7. PWR Seat Circuit Breaker 30 A
  8. MEM T&T Fuse 10 A

Non Memory MSM and IPM

The non memory version of the driver power seat still includes the memory seat module (MSM). The RPO codes for seating are A45 for memory and AL2 for lumbar. The instrument panel module (IPM) contains a configuration frame for the vehicle RPOs and is configured according to RPO content. In order for the MSM to determine the memory configuration it looks for 2 signals, via GMLAN, from the IPM to determine the seating RPO content. These signals are Memory Seat Present (A45) and Memory Lumbar Present (AL2). When these signals are FALSE, the seat is non memory, and the MSM will not look for inputs from the seat position sensors. However; sense the MSM controls the steering column, it always looks for column position sensor inputs. Refer to Steering Wheel and Column Description and Operation in Steering Wheel and Column.

Battery positive is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch from the MEM T&T Fuse located in the rear fuse block. When the power seat switches are pressed they send a 12 volt signal to the memory seat module (MSM). The MSM commands the selected seat motor to move in response to the switch inputs.

MSM Power and Grounds

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the memory seat module (MSM) from the PWR SEAT Circuit Breaker located in the rear fuse block. This voltage is used to power up MSM and also to apply power to the seat motors when commanded. Battery positive is also supplied to the MSM from the MEM T&T Fuse located in the rear fuse block. The MSM monitors this voltage to determine the state of power at seat adjuster switch. If voltage is not detected from this circuit, the MSM will cancel or disable all memory recall functions. Ground is provided to the module through the ground circuit and G 307.

Seat Motors

The memory seat module (MSM) controls the movement for each of the seat directional motors and the 2 lumbar motors. Refer to Lumbar Support Description and Operation (with A45 enabled) or Lumbar Support Description and Operation (w/o A45) or Lumbar Support Description and Operation (with A45 disabled) . 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.

There are 4 motors that move the position of the seat. These are the seat horizontal motor, front vertical motor, rear vertical motor and the recline motor. The horizontal motor moves the entire seat forward and rearward. Both vertical motors can run simultaneously when the seat switch is operated in order to move the entire seat up and down. Or they can be selected independently to vertically tilt the front or rear of the seat up and down. The recline motor moves the angle of the seat back forward or rearward.

All seat motors are reversible. For example, when a seat switch is pressed to move the entire seat forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the power seat horizontal forward switch signal circuit to the MSM. In response to this signal, the MSM applies battery positive 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 positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All of the seat motors are powered this way.

Soft stop functions are not used for driver seat motors that are controlled by either a memory or non-memory MSM. However, soft stop functions are used for the MSM controlled steering column motors. Refer to Steering Wheel and Column Description and Operation in Steering Wheel and Column.

Lumbar Support Components

The driver seat lumbar support system with memory (A45) consists of the following components

  1. Lumbar switch
  2. Memory seat module (MSM)
  3. Lumbar horizontal motor
  4. Lumbar vertical motor
  5. Lumbar horizontal position sensor
  6. Lumbar vertical position sensor
  7. DPM Fuse 10 A

The memory seat module (MSM) is referenced in the Tech 2 as the driver position module (DPM).

Lumbar Switch

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the driver seat lumbar switch from the DPM Fuse located in the left rear fuse block. When the lumbar switches are pressed they send a 12-volt signal to the memory seat module (MSM). The MSM then commands the lumbar motors to move in response to the switch signals.

The lumbar support system consists of 2 motors, horizontal and vertical, that operate independently of each other. The lumbar horizontal motor moves the lumbar support in the forward or rearward directions while the lumbar vertical motor moves the lumbar support in the up or down directions. 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.

Soft stop functions are not used for driver seat motors that are controlled by either a memory or non-memory MSM. However, soft stop functions are used for the MSM controlled steering column motors. Refer to Steering Wheel and Column Description and Operation in Steering Wheel and Column.

Lumbar Horizontal Movement

When the lumbar switch is operated to move the lumbar support forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the driver seat lumbar forward switch signal circuit to the MSM. In response to this signal, the MSM applies battery positive voltage through the lumbar motor forward control circuit and ground through the lumbar motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the lumbar support forward toward the occupant's back until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support rearward works similarly to moving the lumbar support forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. The MSM also controls the lumbar horizontal motor during memory recall functions.

Lumbar Vertical Movement

When the lumbar switch is operated to move the lumbar support up, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the driver seat lumbar up switch signal circuit to the MSM. In response to this signal, the MSM applies battery positive voltage through the lumbar motor up control circuit and ground through the lumbar motor down control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the lumbar support up until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support down works similarly to moving the lumbar support up, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. The MSM also controls the lumbar vertical motor during memory recall functions.

Lumbar Position Sensors

The lumbar position sensors are potentiometers which are an internal part of each lumbar motor. The MSM supplies a 5-volt reference voltage through the 5-volt reference circuit and ground through the low reference circuit to each lumbar position sensor. When the lumbar motor rotates, the resistance of the potentiometer varies changing the feedback voltage of the position sensor signal circuit. This voltage varies from 0.25-4.75 volts. The MSM monitors this voltage signal to determine the lumbar position.

When a memory set command is received, the MSM records the lumbar position by storing the feedback voltage from each position sensor. Then when a memory recall command is received, the MSM moves the motors until the position sensor feedback voltages equals the feedback voltages stored in memory. The lumbar support is not involved in the easy exit function.

Memory Functions

The passenger seat lumbar support system consists of the following components

  1. Lumbar Switch
  2. Lumbar Horizontal Motor
  3. Lumbar Vertical Motor
  4. PWR SEAT Circuit Breaker 30 A
  5. RR LUM/ANT Fuse 20 A

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the passenger seat lumbar switch from the PWR SEAT Circuit Breaker located in the rear fuse block. The lumbar switch is grounded through the switch ground circuit and G30. The lumbar switch provides both power and ground to the selected lumbar motors.

The lumbar support system consists of two lumbar motors, horizontal and vertical, that operate independently of each other. Each motor contains an electronic circuit breaker (PTC) that will reset only after voltage has been removed from the motor. The lumbar horizontal motor moves the lumbar support forward and rearward and the lumbar vertical motor moves the lumbar support up and down.

When the lumbar switch is operated to move the lumbar support rearward, battery positive voltage is applied through the lumbar rearward switch contacts and the lumbar motor rearward control circuit to the lumbar horizontal motor. The motor is grounded through the lumbar forward switch contacts and the lumbar motor forward control circuit to the horizontal motor. The motor runs to drive the lumbar support rearward away from the occupant's back until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support forward works similarly to moving the lumbar support rearward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Vertical

When the lumbar switch is operated to move the lumbar support up, battery positive voltage is applied through the lumbar up switch contacts and the lumbar motor up control circuit to the lumbar vertical motor. The motor is grounded through the lumbar down switch contacts and the lumbar motor down control circuit to the vertical motor. The motor runs to drive the lumbar support up until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support down works similarly to moving the lumbar support up, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

The driver seat lumbar support system with a non-memory configured memory seat module (MSM) consists of the following components

  1. Lumbar Switch
  2. Memory seat module (MSM)
  3. Instrument panel module (IPM)
  4. Lumbar horizontal motor
  5. Lumbar vertical motor
  6. Lumbar horizontal position sensor
  7. Lumbar vertical position sensor
  8. DPM Fuse 10 A

The memory seat module (MSM) is also referenced as the driver position module (DPM) for this vehicle.

The non-memory version of the driver power seat and lumbar still includes the Memory Seat Module (MSM). The RPO codes for seating are A45 for memory and AL2 for lumbar. The instrument panel module (IPM) contains a configuration frame for the vehicle RPOs that is configured according to each vehicle RPO content. In order for the MSM to determine memory configuration, it looks for 2 signals via GMLAN serial data from the IPM to determine seating content. These signals are Memory Seat Present (A45) and Memory Lumbar Present (AL2). When these signals are FALSE, the seat is non-memory and the MSM will not look for inputs from the seat position sensors. However, the MSM always looks for column position sensor inputs. Refer to Steering Wheel and Column Description and Operation in Steering Wheel and Column.

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the driver seat lumbar switch from the DPM Fuse located in the left rear fuse block. When the lumbar switches are pressed they send a 12-volt signal to the MSM. The MSM then commands the lumbar motors to move in response to the switch signals.

The lumbar support system consists of 2 motors, horizontal and vertical, that operate independently of each other. The lumbar horizontal motor moves the lumbar support in the forward or rearward directions while the lumbar vertical motor moves the lumbar support in the up or down directions. Each motor contains a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) circuit breaker that opens in the event of a circuit overload and will reset only after voltage has been removed from the circuit.

Soft stop functions are not used for driver seat motors that are controlled by either a memory or non-memory MSM. However, soft stop functions are used for the MSM controlled steering column motors. Refer to Steering Wheel and Column Description and Operation in Steering Wheel and Column.

When the lumbar switch is operated to move the lumbar support forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the driver seat lumbar forward switch signal circuit to the MSM. In response to this signal, the MSM applies battery positive voltage through the lumbar motor forward control circuit and ground through the lumbar motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the lumbar support forward toward the occupant's back until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support rearward works similarly to moving the lumbar support forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

When the lumbar switch is operated to move the lumbar support up, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the driver seat lumbar up switch signal circuit to the MSM. In response to this signal, the MSM applies battery positive voltage through the lumbar motor up control circuit and ground through the lumbar motor down control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the lumbar support up until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support down works similarly to moving the lumbar support up, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

  4. Memory seat module (MSM)
  5. Seat cushion heater element
  6. Seat back heater element

Helpful Hints

  1. The memory seat module (MSM) is also referenced as the driver position module (DPM) for this vehicle.
  2. The vented seat is also referenced as the cooled seat for this vehicle.
  3. The climate control seat module, located under the front passenger seat cushion, controls the heated and vented seat operations for both the driver and front passenger seats.

Power and Ground

Battery positive voltage is supplied to the climate control seat module from the IGN 3 Fuse located in the left rear fuse block. This voltage is used to power up the climate control seat module allowing the heated seats to operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON position. Battery positive voltage is also supplied at all times to the climate control seat module from the RF HTD ST/S-BAND fuse located in the right rear fuse block. This voltage is used by the module to supply power to the seat heating elements and is wired directly to the front passenger vented seat blower motors. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the driver vented seat blower motors from the DPM fuse located in the left rear fuse block. Ground is provided to the module through the module ground circuit and G307.

Heated/Vented Seat Switch

Separate heated and vented seat switches located in the HVAC control module control the driver and passenger heated/vented seats. When a heated or vented seat switch is pressed, the HVAC control module sends a GMLAN message via the serial data line to the MSM indicating the heated or vented seat command. In response to this signal, the MSM sends a low side PWM signal through the appropriate driver or passenger PWM serial data circuit to the climate control seat module. The module then activates the appropriate heated or vented seat mode. The MSM then sends a GMLAN message back to the HVAC module to illuminate the appropriate temperature indicator.

Heated Seat Operation

When the ignition is turned to the ON position, the heated/vented seats will initialize in the OFF state. When the heated seat switch is pressed once, the climate control seat module applies battery positive voltage through the heated seat element supply voltage circuit to the seat cushion and seat back heating elements, initially setting the seat temperature to high heat. Then with each additional activation of the switch, the climate control seat module will cycle the temperature setting to MED, LOW, and OFF. The module will also turn off the heated seat function whenever the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.

Temperature Regulation

The heated seat system is designed to warm the seat cushion and seat back to approximately 42°C (107.6°F) when in the high heat position, 39.5°C (103.1°F ) when in the medium heat position, and 37°C (98.6°F) when in the low heat position. The climate control seat module monitors the seat temperature through the temperature sensor signal circuit and the temperature sensor (thermistor) that is located in the seat cushion. The temperature sensor is a variable resistor, its resistance changes as the temperature of the seat changes. When the temperature sensor resistance indicates to the climate control seat module that the seat has reached the desired temperature, the module turns off the element supply voltage to the seat heating elements. The module will then cycle the element supply voltage on and off in order to maintain the desired temperature.

Vented Seat Modes of Operation

When the ventilation seat system is active, it is designed to draw cabin air around and away from the occupant through small holes in the seat cushion and seat back covers, through channels in the foam pad, and then through the blower motor exhausting the waste air under the seat cushion.

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the driver seat blower motors from the DPM Fuse located in the left rear fuse block. Battery positive voltage is also supplied at all times to the front passenger seat blower motors from the RF HTD ST/S BAND Fuse located in the right rear fuse block. Both, the driver seat and passenger seat blower motors are grounded through their ground circuits and G307. When a vented seat switch is pressed, the climate control seat module sends a low side pulse width modulation (PWM) signal through the blower motor control circuits to the seat cushion and seat back blower motors indicating the vented seat command. In response to this signal, the logic in the blower motors set the blower speed to the switch set point. Both blower motors then run drawing cabin air around and away from occupant. The following describes the High, MED, and Low ventilation modes of operation

  1. High Ventilation This mode cancels all previous modes and initiates a ventilation cycle with the Under-Cool and Super-Cool Features active. See below for the description of these features. In the high mode, both the seat cushion and seat back blowers are ON at a 95 percent duty cycle that provides 100 percent blower performance.
  2. Medium Ventilation This mode operates identical to the High Ventilation setting with the exception that the blowers are ON at a 85 percent duty cycle that provides 80 percent blower performance.
  3. Low Ventilation This mode also operates identical to the High Ventilation setting with the exception that the blowers are ON at a 75 percent duty cycle that provides 60 percent blower performance.

During vented seat modes of operation, the climate control seat module uses Under-cool and Super Under-cool Features in order to keep the seat temperature above pre-determined set point temperatures. The following describes these features

  1. Under-Cool Feature The under-cool feature set point is 15°C (59°F). The climate control seat module under-cool feature is active when the system is in any one of the 3 High, MED, or Low ventilation modes. The under-cool feature will initiate a heat cycle when it detects that the seat temperature reached its set point of 15°C (59°F). This means that if the seat temperature reaches this set point, it is possible for both, the blowers and heaters to be on at the same time. Then if the control module does not detect that the operating temperature is above the set point within 90 seconds of the initiation of under-cool mode, the module will shut down and cease operation.
  2. Super Under-Cool Feature The super under-cool feature set point is 10°C (50°F). The super under-cool feature is also active when the system is in any of the three ventilation modes. This feature is meant as a secondary precautionary measure. The super under-cool feature will deactivate the blower motors and initiate a heat cycle when it detects that the seat temperature reached its set point of 10°C (50°F). This means that it is possible for the seat heaters to be on and the blowers off while in the ventilation mode. If the control module does not detect that the operating temperature is above the set point within 90 seconds of the initiation of super under-cool mode, the module will shut down and cease operation.

Load Management

The power management function is designed to monitor the vehicle electrical load and determine when the battery is potentially in a high discharge condition. The heated/vented seat system is one of the vehicle loads that is subject reduction during a battery discharge condition. For more information on load management refer to Load Shed System Description and Operation in Engine Electrical and Body Control System Description and Operation in Computer/Integrating Systems.

Heated Seat Components

The rear heated seat system has one control module that controls heat operation for both the left and right rear seat. The rear heated seat consists of the following components

  1. Rear auxiliary HVAC control module
  2. Right Heated Seat Switch
  3. Left seat cushion heating element
  4. Left seat back heating element
  5. Left seat cushion temperature sensor
  6. Right seat cushion heating element
  7. Right seat back heating element
  8. Right seat cushion temperature sensor
  9. REAR HTD SEATS Fuse 20 A

Power and Grounds

Battery positive voltage is supplied to the rear heated seat module through the ignition 3 voltage circuit and the REAR HTD SEATS Fuse that is located in the left rear fuse block. This voltage is used to power up the heated seat module and to supply power to the seat heater elements. This voltage supply allows the heated seat system to operate only with the ignition switch in the ON position. The rear heated seat module is grounded through the module ground circuit and G402.

Modes of Operation

There is 1 mode available for heated seat operation; both the seat cushion and seat back heat turn on and off together. When a heated seat temperature signal request is received, the heated seat module will activate both the seat cushion and seat back heating elements.

Heated Seat Switch/LED Indicators and Operation

The left and right rear heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches both located in the rear climate control panel (RCCP). Battery positive voltage is supplied to the RCCP by the rear heated seat module. The rear heated seat module controls the heated seat operation for both, the left and right rear heated seats, and the heated seat switch temperature indicators.

The following describes the sequence of operation and how the heated seat module responds to each of the switch inputs.

  1. High Temperature: When the heated seat switch is pressed once, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the switch signal circuit to the heated seat module indicating the high heat request. In response to this signal, the module applies battery positive through the heating element supply voltage circuits to the seat cushion and seat back heating elements. At the same time, it activates the low side drivers that supply a ground through the heating element control circuits to the seat heating elements. The module then applies a ground through the high temperature indicator control circuit illuminating the high temperature indicator to indicate the high temperature mode.
  2. Medium Temperature: When the switch is pressed a second time, the heated seat module sets the temperature level to medium heat. Then it removes the ground from the high temperature indicator and applies ground to the medium temperature indicator to indicate the medium temperature mode.
  3. Low Temperature: When the switch is pressed a third time, the heated seat module sets the temperature level to low heat. Then it removes the ground from the medium temperature indicator and applies ground to the low temperature indicator to indicate the low temperature mode.
  4. System Off State: When the switch is pressed a fourth time, the heated seat module removes the battery voltage and grounds from the heating elements. Then it removes the ground from the low temperature indicator, indicating the system off state.

The heated seat system is designed to warm the seat cushion and seat back to approximately 42°C (107.6°F) when in the high position, 39.5°C (103°F) when in the MED position, and 37°C (98.6°F) when in the low position. The heated seat module monitors the seat temperature through the temperature sensor signal circuit and the temperature sensor (thermistor) which is located in the seat cushion. The temperature sensor is a variable resistor, it's resistance varies as the temperature of the seat changes. When the temperature sensor resistance indicates to the heated seat module that the seat has reached the desired temperature, the module opens the ground path of the seat heating elements through the heated seat element control circuit. The module will then cycle the low side driver element control circuits open and closed in order to maintain the desired temperature.

Memory Seats Description and Operation

The memory seat system consists of the following components

  1. Memory seat module (MSM)
  2. Seat adjuster switch
  3. Seat lumbar switch
  4. Seat horizontal motor
  5. Seat front vertical motor
  6. Seat rear vertical motor
  7. Seat recline motor
  8. Lumbar horizontal motor
  9. Lumbar vertical motor
  10. Seat horizontal position sensor
  11. Seat front vertical position sensor
  12. Seat rear vertical position sensor
  13. Seat recline position sensor
  14. Lumbar horizontal positional sensor
  15. Lumbar vertical position sensor
  16. Seats Circuit Breaker 30 A
  17. DPM Fuse 10 A

The memory seat module (MSM) is referenced in the Tech 2 as the driver position module (DPM).

Personalization Option

The MSM cannot perform memory recall functions unless the Personalization Option is enabled. The personalization is located in the radio (IRC). The radio reports the personalization setting to the MSM, as well as other receiving modules, via GMLAN message each time the ignition is cycled to the ON position. The MSM will then store the personalization option setting and examine it before making a memory seat adjustment. The personalization option setting stored within the MSM will not change until the personalization setting in the radio is changed.

Battery positive is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch from the DPM Fuse located in the left rear fuse block. When the power seat switches are pressed they send a 12-volt signal to the MSM. The MSM then commands the selected seat motor to move in response to the switch inputs.

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the MSM from the SEATS Circuit Breaker located in the left rear fuse block. This voltage is by the MSM to apply power to the seat motors when commanded. Battery positive is also supplied to the MSM from the DPM Fuse also located in the left rear fuse block. The MSM uses this voltage to power up the module. Ground is provided to the MSM through the ground circuit and G 307.

The memory seat module controls the movement for each of the seat directional motors and the 2 lumbar motors. Refer to Lumbar Support Description and Operation (with A45 enabled) or Lumbar Support Description and Operation (w/o A45) or Lumbar Support Description and Operation (with A45 disabled) . All of the motors operate independently of each other. Each seat motor contains a electronic circuit breaker (PTC), which will reset only after voltage has been removed from the motor.

There are 4 motors that move the position of the seat. These are the seat horizontal motor, front vertical motor, rear vertical motor and the recline motor. The horizontal motor moves the entire seat forward and rearward. Both vertical motors can run simultaneously when the seat switch is operated in order to move the entire seat up and down, or they can be selected independently to vertically tilt the front or rear of the seat up and down. The recline motor moves the angle of the seat back forward or rearward.

All seat motors are reversible. For example, when a seat switch is pressed to move the entire seat forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the power seat horizontal forward switch signal circuit to the MSM. In response to this signal, the MSM applies battery positive 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 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. All of the seat motors are powered this way.

Soft stop functions are not used for driver seat motors that are controlled by either a memory or non-memory MSM. However, soft stop functions are used for the MSM controlled steering column motors. Refer to Steering Wheel and Column Description and Operation in Steering Wheel and Column.

Position Sensors

The seat position sensors are potentiometers that are either attached directly to the motor's transmission cable or are an internal part of the motor. The MSM supplies a 5-volt reference voltage via the 5-volt reference circuit and ground via the sensor low reference circuit to the respective seat position sensors. When the motor or cable rotates, the resistance of the potentiometer varies changing the feedback voltage of the position sensor signal circuit. The voltage varies from 0.25 volts to 4.75 volts. The MSM monitors this voltage signal to determine the position of the seat. When a memory set command is received, the MSM records the seat position by storing the feedback voltage from each position sensor. Then when a memory recall command is received, the MSM moves the motors until the position sensor feedback voltages equals the feedback voltages stored in memory. For the easy exit function, only seat position sensor feedback voltages are recorded and only the seat motors are controlled. The lumbar support is not involved in the easy exit function.

The memory feature will allow you to program and recall memory seat, steering column, and seat lumbar settings for up to two drivers. The MSM will not respond to memory recall functions while manual positioning is in process. Any memory commands received during manual seat operation will be lost. The MSM may contain preset memory and exit positions for assembly plant testing until modified by a record memory operation.

The easy key module (EKM) identifies the driver and transmits the driver ID via GMLAN message to the radio and MSM. All voice activated memory recall and memory set commands are received by the MSM via GMLAN messages from the radio.

For vehicles with the base audio system, memory features are programmed and recalled through the radio from the DRIVER SELECTION and the DRIVER EXIT SETTINGS submenus. Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and Operation in Entertainment.

For vehicles with the Navigation system, memory features are programmed and recalled through the navigation display. Refer to Navigation System Description and Operation in Navigation Systems.

Also for vehicles with the Navigation System, you can recall memory features by using voice recognition. Refer to Vehicle Personalization (w/o Voice Recognition) or Vehicle Personalization (w/ Voice Recognition) in Personalization and to Navigation System Description and Operation in Navigation Systems.

Memory recall will not work if the shift lever is out of NEUTRAL (N) or PARK (P).

Recall Personalization

When a keyless entry transmitter is used in order to unlock the vehicle's doors, the remote keyless entry (RKE) module communicates the unlock command and which driver performed the command to the radio and MSM via a GMLAN message. The following are 2 personalized recall options when the MSM receives an unlock message

  1. Recall immediately upon receipt of the RKE message
  2. Do not recall upon receipt of an RKE message. With this feature turned off, a memory recall can be configured to activate when the ignition button is pressed.

Memory Inhibit/Enable

The MSM receives the ignition switch signal and the gear selector position via GMLAN messages. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, memory record, memory recall, personalization recall, and exit recall functions are all allowed. When the ignition switch is in the ON position and the gear selector is in the PARK position, only the recall personalization function is deactivated and all other memory functions are allowed. When the ignition switch is in the ON position and the gear selector is out of the PARK position, only memory record is allowed, all other memory seat functions are not allowed.
