  6. Exit the DATA LIST and select Function Test.
  7. Perform each of the function tests listed in the table (Refer to SYMPTOM - POWER SEAT INDICATOR ). The appropriate output should occur.
    • If the function operates normally, go to the next function test. If all function tests operate normally, the system is OK.
    • If the function does not operate normally, perform the appropriate test at the control unit and terminal indicated in the table.
      • Voltage drop tests should be done with the ignition switch ON (II) and all connectors connected
      • Continuity tests should be done with the ignition switch OFF and indicated terminals disconnected
      • Jumper tests should be done according to the instructions indicated.
    • If the test indicates that the component operates normally, but the function does not operate with the function test or the normal use of the component, the control unit that operates that function must be faulty; replace it.
    • If the test indicates that the component does not operate normally, check for an open or short in the harnesses between the component and the control unit. If the harness is OK, replace the component.
