Diagnostic Fault Information
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 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
- DTC B1325 must not be present.
- 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:
B2355 01, B2365 01, or B2375 01
The seat memory control module detects a voltage greater than 5 V on the
sensor signal circuit.
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
- 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.
- 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
- The current DTC clears when the fault is no longer present and the power
mode changes to OFF then
back to ACC or RUN.
- The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition
cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate driver
seat motor listed below for which
the DTC set:
- M50D Seat Front Vertical Motor - Driver
- M55D Seat Rear Vertical Motor - Driver
- M51D Seat Horizontal Motor - Driver
- Ignition ON.
- Test for greater than 10.8 V between the 12 V reference circuit terminal
2 and ground.
If 10.8 V or less
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K40 Seat Memory
Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the 12 V reference circuit and
ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the 12 V reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K40 Seat Memory Control Module.
If greater than 10.8 V
- Test for 0.2-2.0 V between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
If less than 0.2 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K40 Seat Memory
Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K40 Seat Memory Control Module.
If greater than 2.0 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K40 Seat Memory
Control Module,
ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K40 Seat Memory Control Module.
If between 0.2-2.0 V
- Test or replace the seat motor.
