2025 Chevrolet Equinox RS, FWDSECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 GMC Terrain and 2024 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S47D Seat Memory Switch - Driver. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle system to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON, press a power seat switch in order to wake up the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver.
  4. Test for 9 V or greater between each signal circuit terminal listed below and ground:
    • Memory set switch signal terminal 5
    • Memory switch signal terminal 6
    • If less than 9 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal 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 signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver.
    • Go to next step: If 9 V or greater 
  5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver, ignition ON.
  6. Test for less than 1 V between each signal circuit terminal listed below and ground:
    • Memory set switch signal terminal 5
    • Memory switch signal terminal 6
    • If 1 V or greater 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V 
  7. Test or replace the S47D Seat Memory Switch - Driver.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
