Seat Lumbar/Bolster Pump

Diagnostic Fault Information

Power Seats

1. The lumbar, bolster and massage functions are inoperative

Circuit/System Description

When a seat lumbar, bolster, or massage function is commanded ON, the seat bolster memory control module applies battery voltage and a low side drive pulse width modulated (PWM) signal through their respective control circuits to the seat lumbar/bolster pump. The logic in the pump interprets this signal and pump runs to inflate the lumbar/bolster bladders until the switch is released.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • Ignition ON.
  • The voltage control circuit to the lumbar/bolster pump must be active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The seat bolster memory control module detects a short to ground on the lumbar/bolster pump voltage control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

All lumbar, bolster, and massage functions are inoperative.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  • The DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
  • The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

  • G31D Seat Lumbar/Bolster Pump - Driver
  • G31P Seat Lumbar/Bolster Pump - Passenger

2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

  • If 10 Ω or greater
  1. Ignition OFF.
  2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
    • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K134 Seat Bolster Memory Control Module.
  • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω

3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground, ignition ON.

4. Verify the test lamp turns ON after pressing and holding the lumbar forward switch.

  • If the test lamp remains OFF
  1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connector at the K134 Seat Bolster Memory Control Module.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
    • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K134 Seat Bolster Memory Control Module.
  • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns ON

5. Test or replace the G31 Seat Lumbar/Bolster Pump.
