DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX

Diagnostic Starting Point - Adjustable Pedals

Begin adjustable pedal system diagnosis with the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle . The Diagnostic System Check will provide the following information

  1. The identification of the control modules which command the system.
  2. The ability of the control modules to communicate through the serial data circuit.
  3. The identification of any stored DTCs and their status.

The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.

Scan Tool Output Controls

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Disconnect the adjustable pedal switch connector.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that both adjustable pedal switch parameters to the memory seat module are Inactive. If one of the switch parameters is always Active test the affected switch signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the signal circuit tests normal replace the memory seat module.
  3. If the circuit tests normal replace the adjustable pedal switch.

  2. Review «Strategy Based Diagnosis»(ref-278018-S03493196652008012100000) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  3. «Diagnostic Procedure Instructions»(ref-278018-S38264170562008012100000) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

System voltage to the memory seat module must be 9-16 volts.

The position sensor input to the memory seat module is not within the 0.45-4.55 volt range.

Memory recall functions will be suspended.

The fault is no longer present.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the adjustable pedal motor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground. If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground. If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module. If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module.
  4. Verify the scan tool pedal position parameter is less than 0.45 volt. If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module.
  5. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool pedal position parameter is greater than 4.55 volts. If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the adjustable pedal motor.

Visual/Physical Inspection

  1. Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the adjustable pedal system. Refer to «Checking Aftermarket Accessories»(ref-278019-S10639375482008012100000) .
  2. Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.
