B2192

DTC B2192 Seat Forward Switch Shorted To Ground:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The LH seat switch circuit provides an input to the LH Seat Control Module (SCM) when the seat forward switch is pressed FORWARD. This input allows the SCM to detect a seat forward request. The SCM provides a signal, which is pulled up to system battery voltage through a pull-up resistor, and a ground to the seat forward switch. When the seat forward switch is pressed the signal is pulled low within the SCM. When the SCM detects the transition from high to low it will command the seat to move in the FORWARD direction. When the switch is released it will command the seat to stop.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The seat forward switch input, to the SCM, is active (low) for more than 20 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ Stores a history DTC B2192 in the SCM memory.
^ This DTC can only be set as a history code even if the malfunction is current.
^ No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC.
^ The operation/function of the seat forward switch is disabled.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ The seat forward switch input, to the SCM, is inactive (high) for less than 20 seconds.
^ Using a scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
- There is an intermittent short to ground in CKT 613.
- The seat forward switch is shorted to ground internally or is sticking.
- The seat forward switch was pressed for longer than 20 seconds.
^ If CKT 613 is shorted to ground or the seat forward switch is stuck closed, the seat will remain in the forward position at all times.
^ Using a scan tool, select SCM inputs and monitor the seat forward switch status. If the scan tool displays ACTIVE, disconnect the seat forward switch and check if the seat status changes to INACTIVE. If the status changed, then replace the LH seat switch. If the status did not change, then check CKT 613 for a short to ground.
^ If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, then the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while moving related wiring and connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to occur. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis in Wiring Systems. Diagnostic Aids
^ Activate the seat forward switch numerous times while monitoring the status on the scan tool to see if it sticks intermittently.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
2. This test determines the status of the seat forward switch using a scan tool. The scan tool will display the seat forward switch status as ACTIVE (button pressed) and INACTIVE (button released).
3. This test checks if the seat forward switch is shorted to ground or stuck. If the seat forward switch status changes from ACTIVE to INACTIVE when the seat forward switch is disconnected, then the switch assembly must be replaced.
