(7) If battery is good, check for continuity of driv-
er's power seat switch. Refer to Power Memory Seat
Switch Continuity (Fig. 16). (8) Check that all connectors are securely plugged
into control module under driver's seat with no ter-
minal push outs. (9) No correctable faults are found in the above
steps. The battery voltage and ground circuits are
good into the control module. There is battery volt-
age through the seat switch to the control module.
Then replace the control module. (10) If the control module must be replaced, open it
and observe the non-relay side of the printed circuit
board. The module may be damaged by an intermit-
tent short on the inside of the recliner switch. If a
trace is burnt open near the 10-way connector, may
be caused by the recliner switch (Fig. 18).
(11) If module is burnt, remove recliner switch.
Open the switch and observe the movable contacts
staking at the staked end. If the contact, arm can be
rotated, by a sideways motion, the switch must be re-
placed. This will prevent the new control module
from damaged by the switch.

PROCEDURE
(1) Check for 5 volts at pin 9 of the control module
21-way connector (This is the 5 volt feed from the
control module to the recliner position sensing resis-
tor. (2) Check for ground at pin 7 of the 21-way control
module connector. To test for ground, one lead of the
voltmeter must be connected to the 5 volt supply for
the control module. If the sense voltage and ground
are NOT present, at the above pins of the 21-way
control module connector when the recliner switch is
pressed. Replace the control module since an in ad-
vertent application of battery voltage to the circuit
could damaged the control module. If the circuits are
present then continue this procedure. (3) Check for 5 volts at pin 2 of the black 5-way
connector plugged into the recliner motor end-bell. (4) Check for ground at pin 4 of the black 5-way
connector plugged into the recliner motor end-bell. (5) Unplug the black 5-way connector and observe
the male pins for deformation. If deformed, carefully
straighten to mate properly with the connector. Care-

connector plugged into the recliner motor end-bell
with the recliner switch activated. Less than 5 volts
when fully forward and more than 0 volts when fully
reclined that is variable when the recliner is moving.
This is the position sense voltage the control module
must have or it will not move the recliner in recall
since it has no reference for movement. To test for
this voltage, one lead of the voltmeter must be con-
nected to either pin 4 of the black 5-way connector or
pin 7 of the 21-way connector. If the above steps
have been followed and the voltage is 0, check for a
seat wiring harness short to ground of this circuit,
repair as necessary, before continuing with this pro-
cedure. (7) Check for the position sense voltage at pin 3 of
the control module 21-way connector. If the voltage
appears correct, and varies as indicated in step (6)

(3) Use an ohmmeter to test the wiring between
the door switch and the control module in the driv-
er's seat. The circuits should be disconnected from
their components at each end. Repair the wiring as
required for open circuits, terminal push outs, or bad
crimps. If the circuits are good to the control module
but the function is still missing, replace the control
module.
CONDITION: NO MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT, RELAYS CAN BE HEARD CLICKING WHENTHE SEAT SWITCH IS ACTIVATED.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage and ground at the ap-
propriate pins of the control module 10-way connec-
tor (Fig. 23). If the proper results are not obtained,
replace the control module. If the circuits are correct,
then continue the procedure.
(2) Check for continuity of the motor circuits from
the control module 10-way connector to the left
power seat motor package (Fig. 24). (3) Repair the wiring as required for open circuits,
terminal push outs, or bad crimps. If the circuits are
good but the seat movement direction is still missing,
replace the seat motor package assembly. After re-
placement of the seat motor package, reconnect all wiring connectors and reinstall seat assembly in ve-
hicle. Operate the switches manually to cause maxi-
mum seat movement in all directions. Perform the

PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage at pin 1 of the mem-
ory mirror switch 8-way connector in the driver's
door. This battery feed is through a diode package
that is located in the left cowl side area. A grounded
wire on the switch side of the diode would most
likely cause the diode package to open. Solder and
tape the connections if replacement is necessary. The
fuse is in cavity 13 of the fuse block. (2) Check for ground at pin 5 of the memory mir-
ror switch 8-way connector. Repair as needed. (3) Check for continuity of the memory mirror

CONDITION: NO MOVEMENT OF BOTH MEMORY MIRRORS OR ONLY ONE MEMORY MIRROR DURING THE RECALL MODE,MEMORY MIRRORS WILL MOVE ONLY WHENTHE POWER MIRROR SWITCH IS ACTUATED.MEMORY SEAT AND RECLINER MOVE INRECALL.
PROCEDURE
(1) Determine the fault precisely. If all memory
mirror recall movements appear to be missing, first
set the mirrors to two different vertical and horizon-
tal positions for both mirrors. Refer to the General
Information paragraph at the beginning of this sec-
tion for position setting instructions. Try to recall
these set positions that were just placed in memory. (2) Observe for no movement in a specific direction
for a specific mirror. If there is still no movement of
either mirror in any direction, re place the control
module. Perform the memory seat diagnostic self
check so the control module will learn the new soft
limits of the assembly. If the non-movement is in a
specific direction or a specific mirror, continue with
the procedure. (3) Perform the diagnostic self tests, mirror check
mode, to determine if the fault is with a motor or
with a position sensing rheostat circuit. Refer to
Memory Seat and Mirror Diagnostic Self-Tests expla-
nation for further information and understanding of
the diagnostic process and identifying of the fault. If
the fault is with a motor, continue this procedure as
follows in step (4) below. If the fault is with a rheo-
stat, as indicated by the mirror nod in the vertical or
horizontal plane, continue the procedure with step (5)
of this procedure that follows. (4) Check for continuity of the motor drive circuits
between the control module 25-way connector and
the mirror 8-way connector (Fig. 25 and 26). Repair open wiring, terminal push outs or bad
crimps as necessary to correct the fault. If there is
still no recall movement of an individual mirror after
ensuring continuity of the motor drive circuits, then
replace the control module. Perform the memory seat
diagnostic self check so the control module will learn
the new soft limits of the assembly. (5) Check for continuity of the position sensing
rheostat circuits at the disconnected 25-way connec-
tor under the driver's seat. Connect an ohmmeter be-
tween the cavities of the 25-way connector as
indicated in the charts for the left or right mirrors as
required (Fig. 27). If the resistance values cannot be
obtained, i.e., an open circuit, continue the proce-
dure. (6) Check for continuity of the position sensing
rheostat circuits between the control module 25-way
connector and the mirror 8-way connector for the left
or right mirrors as required (Fig. 28). Repair the
open wiring, terminal push outs or bad crimps as necessary to correct the fault. If continuity exists in
these circuits, then continue this procedure.

(7) Check for resistance values in the left or right
mirror assembly as indicated by the diagnostic self
test fault locator. Connect an ohmmeter between the
mirror 8-way connector cavities as shown in the
chart (Fig. 29). Both left and right mirrors use the
same cavities. As the mirror face is moved manually
the resistance value will change between the values
given in the chart. If these results are not obtained,
replace the mirror assembly. (8) If the resistance values from procedure (5) can-
not be obtained and indicate a short to ground or
battery, use an ohmmeter to isolate the circuits and
components at fault. If the fault is in the wiring har-
ness, repair or replace the wiring harness as neces-
sary. If the fault is in the mirror, replace the mirror
assembly. (9) If after checking the rheostat circuits of an in-
dividual mirror and all circuits are correct then re-
place the control module. Perform the memory seat
diagnostic self check so the control module will learn
the new soft limits of the assembly.
