Invalid Data Received from Seat Control Module
There's an issue with data from the seat control module.
Heads up: this code wasn't in our hand-written library yet, so DiagCoach AI built this page on the fly. Double-check critical specs against service info before condemning parts.
What it means (plain English)
The seat control module isn’t sending correct information to the main vehicle computer. This can be due to a bad connection or a failing module.
What the computer is actually seeing
The main vehicle computer is receiving invalid or corrupted data signals from the seat control module, which can show up as erroneous voltage levels or no signal at all.
What a healthy reading looks like
The seat control module should relay status signals within 0.5 to 4.5 volts when the seat adjustments are made.
Guided diagnostic — the DiagCoach way
Don't just throw parts at it. Walk through these in order — each step tells you whether to keep going or stop and fix what you found.
- 1Check the battery voltage. It should be at least 12.5 volts. If low, charge or replace the battery.
- 2Inspect the wiring and connectors around the seat control module for damage or corrosion. Repair any issues found.
- 3Test the seat control module. Disconnect and reconnect the power supply. Check if the module responds correctly after reconnecting.
- 4Use a scan tool to check for other related fault codes. If other codes are present, address those issues first.
Common causes
- Faulty seat control module
- Corroded wiring or connector problems
- Electrical interference from other systems
- Low battery voltage affecting module operation
