PSM Control Module: Notes
The PSM is located on a bracket under the driver's seat and has three connectors; K1, K2 and K3.
The motors with Hall sensors and switches are powered from the control module.
The control module controls the following functions:
- Memory settings for driver's seat position
- Movement of driver's seat to memorized position
- Communication with diagnostic tool (Tech 2)
- Communication with I-bus, see BUS COMMUNICATION .
The driver's seat is adjusted and the settings stored when the ignition is ON (+15 and +54) or when one of the front doors is open. The information on +54 is received by PSM via the bus from DICE, and the information on front door open/closed from TWICE.
When the ignition is ON (+15 or +54), the seat can be adjusted.
When the ignition is OFF and one of the front doors is open, the seat can be adjusted for 20 minutes. If the door is closed and then opened again, a further period of 20 minutes begins.
The seat can also be adjusted for 30 seconds after a door has been closed and the ignition is OFF.
The motors adjust the seat lengthways and in height as well as the change the reclining angle of the backrest. Adjustment is continuous with certain limitations. These apply to the motors for lengthways adjustment (357a/e) and height adjustment (c/g rear and b/f front). The following operations cannot be performed.
- Simultaneous adjustment of 357 a/e up and 357 c/g up/down.
- Simultaneous adjustment of 357 a/e forward and 357 b/f up/down.
The control module monitors the current consumption of each motor when it is being operated and counts the pulses from the Hall sensors between the various seat movements. The Hall sensors are fitted in each motor and are connected between pins 3 and 4. When a setting has been stored in memory, SID sounds an acoustic confirmation via the I-bus from PSM. The memory settings are stored in a non-volatile memory, which retains the settings even when the control module is not powered.
