Principles of Operation

The driver seat module (DSM) supports several vehicle subsystems and permits inter-module and scan tool
communications.

The memory driver seat feature allows the driver to program a personalized seat position that can be recalled
using the memory switches. Refer to SEATING article.

The adjustable pedals are also controlled by the DSM. This system permits the adjustment of the brake and
accelerator pedals using the adjustable pedal switch. Refer to BRAKE SYSTEM - GENERAL
INFORMATION article.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step.

NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

4. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).

NOTE: The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power
and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM.

5. If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM:

 Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.

 Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.

 Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article, No Power To The Scan Tool, to

diagnose no communication with the scan tool.
6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
 Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.

 Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.

 Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article to diagnose no response from the

PCM.
7. Carry out the network test.
 If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to MODULE
COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article.
 If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.

8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the DSM.
9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart.
10. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to Symptom Chart.

Principles of Operation

The vehicle security module (VSM) controls the power door lock system. The module monitors the door
lock/unlock switch inputs from the interior door lock switches. When the module receives an unlock/lock
command from any door lock control switch, the module activates the door lock actuators. Refer to
HANDLES, LOCKS, LATCHES AND ENTRY SYSTEMS article.

The module also controls the following remote lock/unlock features:

 Keyless entry keypad

 Panic alarm
 Remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter lock/unlock

NOTE: Prior to the removal of the module, it is necessary to upload the module
configuration information to a scan tool. This information must be downloaded
into the new driver seat module (DSM) after installation. For additional
information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article.

1. Remove the driver seat. For additional information, refer to SEATING article.
2. Remove the 2 screws.
 To install, tighten to 7 Nm (62 lb-in).

3. Disconnect the 4 electrical connectors and remove the DSM.

REMOVAL

CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to

these charges, damage to the module may result.

NOTE: Prior to the removal of the module, it is necessary to upload the module
configuration information to a scan tool. This information must be downloaded
into the new vehicle security module (VSM) after installation. For additional
information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article, to carry out
programmable module installation (PMI).

NOTE: For the VSM to accept the PMI procedure, the following conditions must be met:

a. the headlamp switch must be in the OFF position (must not be in the
AUTOLAMP position, if equipped)
b. the key must be in the ON position
c. the driver door must be open
d. the doors must be unlocked electronically by pressing the door lock
control switch to the UNLOCK position momentarily

Failure to follow this procedure will result in the PMI procedure to fail.

NOTE: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) functionality is integral to the VSM.

NOTE: A new VSM is delivered in a "manufacturing mode" with 6 pre-set DTCs. These
DTCs require that a successful configuration of the VSM occurs, then a
successful TPMS sensor training occurs, then a successful self-test occurs,
including the clearing of all DTCs. This is required in order to clear the 6
manufacturing mode DTCs. They are as follows:

 B2477 (Module Configuration Failure)

 B2868 (Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
 B2869 (Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
 B2870 (Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
 B2871 (Left Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)
 C2780 (ECU in Manufacturer Sub-State)

NOTE: This step is only necessary if the VSM is being replaced.

1. Upload the module configuration information from the VSM into the scan tool. For additional
information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article.
2. Turn the key to the OFF position.
3. Remove the LH B-pillar trim panel. For additional information, refer to INTERIOR TRIM AND
ORNAMENTATION article.
4. Disconnect the 2 VSM electrical connectors.
5. Remove the 2 screws and the VSM.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: If it is necessary to install new VSM mounting screw J-clips, they are
available using part number W520822.

1. Position the VSM and install the 2 screws.

 Tighten to 7 Nm (62 lb-in).

2. Connect the 2 VSM electrical connectors.

NOTE: If the VSM is not being replaced, this is the last step that is necessary.

3. Install the LH B-pillar trim panel.

NOTE: When successful, this step provides the calibration necessary for the VSM
operation and clears DTC B2477. The clearing of the DTC indicates the
calibration data has been successfully downloaded to the VSM.

4. Download the VSM configuration information from the scan tool to the VSM. For additional information,
refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article.

NOTE: When successful, this step clears DTCs B2868, B2869, B2870 and B2871.
The clearing of these DTCs indicates the VSM has recognized the tire
pressure sensors during the training procedure.

5. Train the tire pressure sensors. For additional information, refer to WHEELS AND TIRES article.

NOTE: DTC C2780 will not clear if any other DTCs are present in the VSM.

NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, allow the VSM to exit the
manufacturing mode, and to make sure there are no other concerns with
the newly programmed VSM.

6. Carry out the VSM on-demand self-test by clearing the DTCs and then retrieving the DTCs to confirm all
DTCs have been cleared.
