DTC Descriptor
DTC B2870 01
- Tilt Up Switch Circuit Short to Battery
DTC B2875 01
- Tilt Down Switch Circuit Short to Battery
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit Description
The memory seat module (MSM) receives voltage inputs from the tilt switch based on the position of the switch. The MSM then supplies battery
voltage and a ground to the tilt motor control circuits depending on which direction of movement is requested.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The MSM detects a tilt switch input for more than 30 consecutive seconds after the tilt motor movement has stopped.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The tilt motor will be deactivated.
* Memory recall functions will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC will clear when the failed switch input is no longer active.
* A history DTC will clear after 100 ignition cycles.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittently stuck tilt switch may cause a DTC to set.
