System Input Test and Function Test

NOTE: Make sure you have the latest software on the HDS before troubleshooting.
  1. Connect the HDS to the DLC.
  2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  3. From the BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SELECT menu, select POWER SEAT/POWER MIRROR, then DTCs.
  4. Exit the DTC mode and select DATA LIST from the POWER SEAT/POWER MIRROR TEST MODE menu.
  5. Test each input and monitor each output on the data list under the condition listed below.
    • If the data list indication is correct, continue to the next switch. If all switches are OK, go to step  6.
    • If the data list indication is not correct, perform the appropriate test at the control unit and terminal indicated in the table.
      • Voltage drop tests should be performed with the ignition switch ON (II) and all connectors connected and the meter negative test lead attached to a good body ground or the battery negative post.
      • Continuity tests should be performed with the ignition switch OFF and the indicated terminals disconnected.
      • Check terminal fit and ground G601 before doing any test.
