Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Lumbar Switch Circuit Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the lumbar 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.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the appropriate signal circuit listed below and the B+ circuit terminal G. Verify the scan tool Lumbar Switch parameter is Active.
- Lumbar horizontal forward terminal C
- Lumbar horizontal rearward terminal B
- Lumbar vertical upward terminal F
- Lumbar vertical downward terminal A
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the lumbar switch.
Lumbar Motor Control Circuit Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate lumbar motor.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
- Ignition ON, command the appropriate lumbar motor in the Up/Down or Froward/Rearward directions with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the up and down or froward and rearward states.
- If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands, test the control circuits for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the MSM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the lumbar motor.
