W/Harness Inspection





Body Control

Integrated Memory System - B1955 Recline Motor Or Sensor Error W/Harness Inspection

Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals.
Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?






Signal Circuit Inspection

Check for open in harness
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect power seat recline motor.
3. Measure resistance between terminal "C1" of IMS and terminal "4" of power seat recline sensor.
4. Measure resistance between terminal "D8" of IMS and terminal "1" of power seat recline sensor.
