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

Any seat motor must be active.
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:

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

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.

DTC B3920

Seat Motors Group 1 Ground Circuit

For symptom byte information refer to Symptom Byte List.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Power Seats

1. All power seat and memory functions are inoperative.

Circuit/System Description

The seat memory control module controls the seat motors via half bridges that are connected to a power rail internal to the module. The seat memory control module connects all of the motor control circuits on the power rail to a common reference point whenever they are not in operation. The module monitors all seat motor control circuits for a shorted to ground or voltage 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.

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

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.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

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

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

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

Diagnostic Fault Information

Power Seats

1. The lumbar, bolster, and massage functions are inoperative

Circuit/System Description

Ground is supplied to the driver and passenger seat lumbar support and the seat back side bolster switches. Each switch is also supplied with a 5 V reference and signal circuits from the seat memory control module. The reference voltage is applied to a resistive network internal to the switches. When a switch is pressed, the output of the resistive network results in a voltage drop on the signal circuit to the seat memory control module indicating the lumbar, bolster, or massage request. In response to this signal, the seat memory control module sends a LIN serial data message to the seat massage valve assembly commanding it to perform the required pneumatic movements.

The seat massage valve assembly contains the electronic circuitry for executing the commanded pneumatic seat adjustments, air direction solenoids, pressure sensors for storing air bladder pressures, and outputs which supplies battery power and a low side drive pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to the external seat air pump motor when any of the air bladders require inflating.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Power Seats

1. The seat lumbar support functions are inoperative
2. The seat lumbar support pump is always ON

Circuit/System Description

The seat lumbar support valve assembly supplies the seat lumbar support switch with a signal and low reference circuits. When a lumbar switch is pressed, the signal circuit from the seat lumbar support valve assembly is pulled low through the switch contacts and series of resistors indicating the lumbar support request. In response to this request, the lumbar adjuster valve assembly energizes its internal inflate solenoid and applies battery voltage through the lumbar support pump control circuit to the pump. The pump runs to inflate the appropriate support bladder until the switch is released.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Power Seats

1. The power seat and the lumbar support functions are inoperative
2. The lumbar support is inoperative

Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch through a 10 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 valve assembly. In response to this signal, the valve assembly 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 valve assembly. The valve assembly energizes its internal deflate solenoid and air is released from the bladder until the switch is released.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Power Seats

1. All power seat motors are inoperative
2. The seat front vertical motor is inoperative
3. The seat horizontal motor is inoperative
4. The seat rear vertical motor is inoperative
5. The seat recline motor is inoperative
6. The seat motor operates until maximum travel is reached

Circuit/System Description

The driver and passenger power seats are completely controlled through the seat adjuster switch. Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch through a 30 A fuse located in the underhood 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 rearward 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 positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All seat motors are powered this way.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Power Seats

Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a 5 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 30 A fuse also located in the underhood fuse block. This voltage is connected to a power rail internal to the seat memory control module and is used to drive all driver 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. All driver power seat motors are powered this way.
