WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2010 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector for all position sensors connected to the 5-volt reference circuit.
  2. Ignition ON, observe all scan tool sensor parameters for Seat 1 Info and Adj. Pedals Info. The readings should be 0.0 volts.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the appropriate signal circuits listed below for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
      • Horizontal position sensor terminal 3 X2
      • Front vertical position sensor terminal 1 X2
      • Rear vertical position sensor terminal 5 X2
      • Recline position sensor terminal 2
      • Lumbar horizontal position sensor terminal 2
      • Lumbar vertical position sensor terminal 2
      • Adjustable pedal position sensor terminal 1
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit at any one of the position sensors 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 MSM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  4. Connect each position sensor one at a time and verify that the DTC does not set as current.
    • If the DTC sets as current, replace the appropriate position sensor.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the MSM.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
