Driver Seat Module (DSM)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
8 Digit GM Part Number

The scan tool displays the part number assigned to the DSM that is currently in the vehicle.

Battery Voltage

Displays the voltage of the battery positive supply circuit to the driver seat module.

Driver or Passenger Seat Heat Zone

Displays the active seat heat zones. The scan tool will display Back Only when the heated seat back is operating in the low, medium, or high modes and the heated seat cushion is off. Back and Cushion will be displayed when both heater elements are operating in the low, medium, or high modes.

Driver or Passenger Seat Temp Setting

Displays the current status of the heated seat temperature setting during back only or back and cushion heating modes.

Driver or Passenger Seat Heat Sensor

The scan tool displays the voltage level of the seat heat sensor signal circuit to the driver seat module. When the seat is cold the scan tool will display near 5 volts and as the seat temperature rises the signal voltage will decrease to near 0.0 volts.

Exit Front Vertical Value
