Circuit/System Description

The mobility seat module monitors an input from a hall effect sensor in the rotation motor while the seat is being rotated in or out. The hall effect is a 12-volt 3-wire sensor and the signal circuit is referenced from battery voltage within the module.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • Battery voltage must be within 9-16 volts.
    • Seat operation is attempted from the forward facing position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC 024

When rotating the seat to the outward position no hall effect sensor pulses are detected by the module.

DTC 034

When rotating the seat to the forward facing position no hall effect sensor pulses are detected by the module.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

While the fault is current the module will not allow the seat to be extended outward but will allow rotation inward to the forward facing position.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC may be cleared by removing the main power supply or ground from the seat module.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the swivel motor.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground.
  5. If less than specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the seat control module.
  6. Test for greater than 3 volts between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
  7. If less than specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the seat control module.
  8. If all circuits test normal, test and replace the swivel motor.
