Circuit Description
The mobility seat module uses inputs from 4 limit switches in order to determine the seat position. The limit switch signal circuits are referenced from battery voltage within the module. The limit switches will open or close the switch signal circuits to ground in order for the module to determine them to be active or inactive. The swivel in limit switch signal circuit is considered to be active when the circuit reference voltage is high or open to ground by the switch.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC 022 Swivel In Limit Switch Remains Active After Start of Rotation Out
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Battery voltage must be within 9-16 volts. |
| • | Seat rotation out operation is attempted from the forward facing position. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
After rotation out operation has been in progress for 1 second from the forward facing position the swivel in limit switch signal to the module remains high or active.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | While the fault is current the module will not allow the seat to complete the outward rotation. |
| • | The module will allow the seat to be returned to the forward facing position in 3-second intervals. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC may be cleared by removing the main power supply or ground from the seat module.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the limit switch for any physical damage or obstructions to its mechanical operation which may cause the condition.

1 | Did you review the description and operation and perform the necessary inspections? | Go to Step 2 | Go to Symptoms - Seats |
2 | Verify the fault is present. Does the system operate normally? | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | Go to Step 3 |
3 |
Does the seat rotate to the outward facing position? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Test the swivel in limit switch signal circuit for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 6 |
5 | Test the swivel in limit switch ground circuit for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 8 |
6 | Inspect for poor connections at the mobility seat module harness connectors. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 7 |
7 | Replace the mobility seat control module. Refer to Sit-N-Lift Control Module Replacement . Is the repair complete? | Go to Step 9 | -- |
8 | Replace the mobility seat base unit. Refer to Sit-N-Lift Seat Base Replacement . Is the repair complete? | Go to Step 9 | -- |
9 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? | System OK | Go to Step 3 |
