- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the MSM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test does not illuminate between any of the following motor control circuits and ground:
- Front vertical motor terminal 12
- Front vertical motor terminal 13
- Rear vertical motor terminal 15
- Rear vertical motor terminal 16
- Seat horizontal motor terminal 9
- Seat horizontal motor terminal 10
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following motor control circuits and ground:
- Front vertical motor terminal 12
- Front vertical motor terminal 13
- Rear vertical motor terminal 15
- Rear vertical motor terminal 16
- Seat horizontal motor terminal 9
- Seat horizontal motor terminal 10
- If less than infinite resistance, test the motor control circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for greater resistance values than specified between the following motor control circuits:
- 1 ohm for front vertical motor terminal 12 and terminal 13
- 1 ohm for rear vertical motor terminal 15 and terminal 16
- 1 ohm for seat horizontal motor terminal 9 and terminal 10
- If less than the specified resistance, test the control circuits for a short together or shorted motor.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X4 at the MSM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test does not illuminate between any of the following motor control circuits and ground:
- Lumbar vertical motor terminal 1
- Lumbar vertical motor terminal 2
- Lumbar horizontal motor terminal 12
- Lumbar horizontal motor terminal 13
- Seat recline motor terminal 15
- Seat recline motor terminal 16
- Adjustable pedal motor terminal 9
- Adjustable pedal motor terminal 10
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following motor control circuits and ground:
- Lumbar vertical motor terminal 1
- Lumbar vertical motor terminal 2
- Lumbar horizontal motor terminal 12
- Lumbar horizontal motor terminal 13
- Seat recline motor terminal 15
- Seat recline motor terminal 16
- Adjustable pedal motor terminal 9
- Adjustable pedal motor terminal 10
- If less than infinite resistance, test the motor control circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for greater resistance values than specified between the following motor control circuits:
- 1 ohm for lumbar horizontal motor terminal 12 and terminal 13
- 1 ohm for recline motor terminal 15 and terminal 16
- If less than the specified resistance, test the control circuits for a short together or shorted motor.
- 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:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
