DTC B1840 Driver Lumbar Up Switch CKT Malf (A45 With AM3):
DTC B1840 Driver Lumbar Up Switch CKT Malf (A45 With AM3):
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) receives an input from the lumbar switch through the lumbar massage module when the up switch is actuated. When the lumbar switch is operated in the up direction, battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied to the MSM lumbar up input via CKT 1066 (WHT). The MSM recognizes the input and moves the lumbar support in the up direction.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING DTC
^ When the lumbar up switch is active for 30 seconds after motion has ceased the switch will be considered shorted and the DTC will set.
^ If the lumbar vertical position sensor DTC B1860 is current and the lumbar up switch is active for 30 seconds, the switch will be considered shorted and the DTC will set.
^ DTC B1845 will set only if DTC B1328 MSM or DTC B1327 MSM is not current.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The MSM will not move the lumbar support in the up direction.
^ The MSM will continue to respond to valid inputs from the other manual switches.
^ All memory recall function commands will be ignored for all directions.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING DTC
