System Overview

CONTROL MODULE

The power seat module (PSM) handles the functions of integrated diagnostics. When the control module detects a fault, a diagnostic trouble code is generated in some cases.

Any diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the control module memory. The data can be read off using the diagnostic tool.

A way to check that the power seat module (PSM) (3/26) has a power supply and is grounded is to operate the seat.

The power seat module (PSM) is inoperable if voltage is below 8.5 V or exceeds 16.0 V. The control module becomes operable again when voltage increases to over 9.0 V or drops below 15.5 V.

For further information, also see the appropriate Signal specifications.

SIGNALS 

The table below summarizes the input signals to and output signals from the power seat module (PSM) (3/26). The signal types are divided into directly connected signals and CAN communication. The illustration below depicts the same information with Volvo component designations.
