Front Riser Out Of Range High
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect driver's power seat front riser sensor Black 3-pin connector. See Fig 1. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ground and power seat front riser sensor connector terminal "A" (Brown/Red wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, go to step 7.
- Reconnect power seat front riser sensor connector. Using scan tool, select BODY, MEMORY SEAT then SENSORS. Monitor power seat front riser sensor on scan tool while operating front of seat to full up and down positions. When seat is in operation, if voltage is less than 8 volts at all times, go to next step. When seat is in operation, if voltage is greater than 8 volts at any time, replace seat track assembly. See appropriate
POWER SEATS article. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST under VERIFICATION TESTS.
- Disconnect driver's power seat front riser sensor Black 3-pin connector. Disconnect Memory Seat Module (MSM) connector C1. See Figure. MSM is located under driver's seat. Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, measure voltage between driver's power seat front riser sensor connector terminal "B" (Brown wire) and ground. If voltage is less than 0.2 volt, go to next step. If voltage is greater than 0.2 volt, repair short to voltage in Brown wire. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST under VERIFICATION TESTS.
- Using DVOM, measure voltage between driver's power seat front riser sensor connector terminal "C" (Brown/White wire) and ground. If voltage is less than 5.5 volts, go to next step. If voltage is greater than 5.5 volts, repair short to voltage in Brown/White wire. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST under VERIFICATION TESTS.
- Turn ignition off. Reconnect MSM connector. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, select BODY, MEMORY SEAT then SENSORS. Read FRONT RISER POSITION SENSOR voltage. If voltage is greater than 0.2 volt, go to next step. If voltage is less than 0.2 volt, replace seat track assembly. See appropriate
POWER SEATS article. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST under VERIFICATION TESTS.
- Replace MSM. See MEMORY HEATED SEAT MODULE, HEATED SEAT MODULE, MEMORY SEAT MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST under VERIFICATION TESTS.
- Disconnect driver's power seat front riser sensor Black 3-pin connector. Disconnect Memory Seat Module (MSM) connector C1. See Figure. Memory seat module is located under driver's seat. Using DVOM, measure resistance of Brown/Red wire between driver's power seat front riser sensor connector terminal "A" and MSM connector C1 terminal No. 10. See Figure. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Brown/Red wire. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST under VERIFICATION TESTS.
- Replace MSM. See MEMORY HEATED SEAT MODULE, HEATED SEAT MODULE, MEMORY SEAT MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Perform MEMORY/HEATED SEATS VERIFICATION TEST under VERIFICATION TESTS.
