Lumbar Adjuster Switch Circuit Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the lumbar adjuster switch.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the lumbar adjuster switch.
Motor Control Circuit Test
- Disconnect the (C3) harness connector at the MSM.
- 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.
- Connect the (C3) harness connector at the MSM.
- Disconnect the (C1) harness connector at the seat lumbar motor assembly.
- Connect a test lamp between the motor control circuit terminals of the inoperative motor.
- 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.
- 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.
