Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra. Manual

Circuit/System Description

The memory seat module (MSM) monitors the current supplied to the seat adjuster motors. The
MSM can detect both absolute and differential current levels from the seat motors. Absolute
current is the maximum allowable current the module will supply to the motors. A differential
current mismatch occurs when the current supplied to the seat motors does not match the current
returning from the motors.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The MSM establishes that it is not closing to a shorted motor control circuit before the motors are
active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The following conditions exist for more than 1 second:

B1335 00

Current out of the module does not match the current returning to the module within 5 amps.

B1335 0B

The absolute current or an over-current has exceeded the maximum value allowed.

B1335 42

This DTC will set if the module calibration is not programmed.

B1335 4B

This DTC will set if the module calibration is out of range.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The adjustable pedal motor and all driver seat adjuster motors are disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The current DTC will clear and set the code to history, 3 seconds after no motor movement
is requested or the current is no longer mismatched, and the ignition is cycled OFF then
back to ACC or RUN.

A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles or with a scan tool using the clear DTCs
function.

If DTCs B1335 42 or B1335 4B are set history or current, the only option is module replacement.

Circuit/System Testing

2008 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT Power Seats - Cab & Chassis Sierra, Cab & Chassis Silverado, Sierra &

Silverado

1. Use a scan tool to clear the current and history diagnostic trouble code.

2. Ignition ON, while observing the scan tool for DTCs, operate the seat adjuster switch in

both directions for each directional motor.

3. Disconnect the suspect seat motor for which the DTC set.

4. Clear the current and history diagnostic trouble code.

5. While observing the scan tool for DTCs, operate the suspect seat motor adjuster switch in

both directions.

If the DTC set current or history, test the motor control circuits for a short to ground,
or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the memory seat module.

6. If all circuits/connections test normal, replace the seat motor.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The memory seat module (MSM) supplies a 5-volt reference voltage to the driver seat and
adjustable pedal position sensors. The MSM monitors this reference voltage to ensure the
accuracy of the voltages being returned from the sensors. If the voltage exceeds the normal
operating range, errors will occur in the memory recall operations of the seat and adjustable
pedals.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The memory seat module must be powered.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The following conditions exist for more than 1 second:
