  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver seat adjuster switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal and ground for the driver seat adjuster listed below:
    • RPO ASN ground circuit terminal A
    • RPO AG1 ground circuit terminal B
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal and ground for the driver seat adjuster listed below:
    • RPO ASN B+ circuit terminal F
    • RPO AG1 B+ circuit terminal D
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the driver seat adjuster switch and disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate seat motor.
  5. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver seat adjuster switch.
  6. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the control circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver seat adjuster switch.
  7. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
  8. Ignition ON, command the appropriate seat motor in both directions using the driver seat adjuster switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the each direction.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate during either of the commands, test both control circuits for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the driver seat adjuster switch.
  9. If all circuits tests normal, test or replace the appropriate seat motor.

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.
