Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra. Manual

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the seat adjuster switch.

2. Test for infinite resistance between each seat direction signal terminal and the switch B+

terminal with the switch in the open position.

If not Inactive, test the signal circuit that displays Active for a short to voltage. If the
circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.

3. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the seat adjuster switch.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the seat adjuster switch.

2. Test for infinite resistance between each seat direction signal terminal and the switch B+

terminal with the switch in the open position.

If less than infinite resistance, replace the switch.

3. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between each seat direction signal terminal and the B+

terminal with the switch in the closed position.

If greater than 1 ohm, replace the switch.

Circuit Description

The position sensor that sets this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is either attached to the seat
directional motor drive cable or directly to the motor it monitors. It receives a 5-volt reference
and ground from the memory seat module (MSM). The sensor sends a voltage signal that varies
with the movement of the seat through the signal circuit to the MSM. Then based on this voltage
signal, the MSM determines the position of the seat.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The memory seat module must be powered.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1825, B1850, B1860, B2355, B2365, B2375 01

If the MSM sees the analog input from this sensor is greater than 4.65 volts, the sensor will be

considered out of range and the MSM will set this DTC.

B1825, B1850, B1860, B2355, B2365, B2375 06

If the MSM sees the analog input from this sensor is less than 0.27 volt, the sensor will be
considered out of range and the MSM will set this DTC.

B1825, B1850, B1860, B2355, B2365, B2375 5A

This DTC will set, if the MSM is controlling a motor in one direction and it's position sensor is
tracking the motor in the opposite direction. The sensor is either mounted or wired incorrectly, or
the polarity of the motor control circuits are reversed.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The MSM disables the memory recall and easy exit/entry action commands of the motor
monitored by the sensor. The motor will respond to manual positioning commands.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The current DTC will clear and set to history, when the MSM sees the analog input from the
sensor as between 0.27-4.65 volts 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.

Diagnostic Aids

All position sensors use common ground and 5-volt reference circuits.

If the 5-volt reference circuit is shorted to voltage, multiple codes will set.

If the 5-volt reference circuit is shorted to ground, multiple codes will set.

If the sensor ground circuit is open, multiple codes will set.
