Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal E and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal G and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch and disconnect the harness connector at the M53 Seat Lumbar Support Motor.
  6. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 1 and control circuit terminal 2, ignition ON.
  7. Verify the test lamp turns ON when commanding the lumbar support Forward and Rearward using the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
    • If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between each control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in each control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, test or replace the S65 Seat Lumbar Support Switch.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns ON during each of the commands 
  8. Test or replace the M53 Seat Lumbar Support Motor.
