Driver Seat Module (DSM)

2013 Volkswagen Beetle R-Line, 2.0L Eng VIN SSECTION Driver Seat Module (DSM)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The DSM module (if equipped) uses the medium speed CAN for communication with the diagnostic tool and other modules on the medium speed CAN. The DSM controls the position of the power driver seat, and the power outside rear view mirrors.

Check the medium speed CAN circuits between the DSM C3299c and the DLC C251. The total resistance values must not be more than 5 ohms. If the resistance is more than 5 ohms, there is an open circuit in the medium speed CAN, damage to the DLC C251, or damage to the DSM C3299c.

For additional rear view mirror information, refer to REAR VIEW MIRRORS .
