Lumbar Adjuster Switch Circuit Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the lumbar adjuster switch.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal G and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  3. Verify that all scan tool lumbar switch input parameters are Inactive.
    • If not Inactive, test the appropriate signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the inoperative switch signal circuit terminal and the B+ circuit terminal G. Verify the related scan tool Lumbar Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not Active, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the lumbar adjuster switch.

Motor Control Circuit Test

  1. Disconnect the (C3) harness connector at the MSM.
  2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect the (C3) harness connector at the MSM.
  4. Disconnect the (C1) harness connector at the seat lumbar motor assembly.
  5. Connect a test lamp between the motor control circuit terminals of the inoperative motor.
  6. The test lamp should illuminate while pressing the switch in both directions.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the motor control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the MSM.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the lumbar 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.
