This DTC will set, if the MSM is controlling a motor in one direction and its position sensor is tracking the motor in the opposite direction. The
sensor is either mounted or wired incorrectly, or the polarity of the motor control circuits are reversed.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The MSM disables the memory recall and easy exit/entry action commands of the motor monitored by the sensor. The motor will respond to
manual positioning commands.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The current DTC will clear and set to history, when the MSM sees the analog input from the sensor as between 0.22 V and 4.75 V and the
ignition is cycled OFF then back to ACC or RUN.
* The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.
Diagnostic Aids
* All position sensors use common ground and 5 V reference circuits.
* If the 5 V reference circuit is shorted to voltage multiple position sensor codes will set.
* If the 5 V reference circuit is shorted to ground multiple position sensor codes will set.
* If the sensor ground circuit is open multiple codes will set.
* DTC failure type 5 A will set if the sensor setting this DTC is either mounted or wired incorrectly, or the polarity of the motor control circuits
are reversed.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Memory Seat Module driver seat and lumbar position sensor parameters. The readings should be between 0.22 V
and 4.75 V and change while adjusting seat and lumbar positions.
Circuit/System Testing
B1825 01 or B1825 06
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the seat recline motor.
2. Test for less than 2 Ohms between the appropriate low reference circuit terminal listed below and ground:
* Terminal 1 (LHD)
* Terminal 3 (RHD)
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the appropriate 5 V reference circuit terminal listed below and ground:
