Power E-Z Entry Seats
When the rear passenger door is open, the E-Z entry seats are activated by the associated seat switch (located in each C-pillar trim panel). When the SCMJ receives an input from the seat switch, it supplies voltage to an actuator which releases a latch, allowing the seat base to pitch up/forward. To return to a seating position, the seat must be manually latched to the floor. There are no serviceable components of the power E-Z entry system within the seat assembly. The actuator is serviced by installing a new seat frame assembly.
Power-Folding Seats
When the seat control switch is activated, the SCMJ activates the second row power fold seat motor which retracts a cable (connected to the same seat latch mechanism as the manual release handle) to release the backrest recliner latches and allows the backrest assist spring to fold the backrest forward onto the seat cushion. Immediately after the seat is fully released, the power fold seat motor returns the release cable and latches to a relaxed state, ready for manual latching. To return to a seating position, the seat must be manually latched to the floor and the backrest must be manually latched upright. There are no serviceable components of the power-folding seat system within the seat assembly. The power fold seat motors are serviced by installing a new seat frame assembly.
Heated/Ventilated Seat Operation
The rear passenger heated/ventilated seat buttons are selected from the RACM (touchscreen) module. The LH rear seat is controlled by the SCME (integral to the DSM . The RH rear seat is controlled by the SCMF (integral to the SCMB

Multi-Contour Seat Operation
NOTE: The engine must be running or the vehicle must be in accessory mode to activate the rear multi-contour seats.
NOTE: The multi-contour seat massage mode is disabled when the child safety lock is active. For additional information on how to enable/disable the child safety locks, refer to the Owner's Literature.
The multi-contour seats are independently controlled by the seat control switches (located on the RACM (touchscreen). The LH and RH rear seats each contain a total of 7 inflatable bladders: 4 cushion bladders and 3 backrest lumbar bladders. The pressures for the lumbar and cushion bladders are displayed on the RACM as a percentage of the maximum pressure.
There are 2 modes of operation: adjust or massage. Adjust mode allows pressure changes in one of the 3 lumbar bladders to be inflated or deflated to a desirable feel. Massage mode provides a sequence of inflation and deflation of the lumbar and cushion bladders to simulate a massage motion.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner's Literature for information how to select the various modes using the touchscreen buttons.
When in Adjust mode:
When in Massage mode:
Component Description
Power E-Z Entry Seat Control Switch
The power E-Z fold seat switches are momentary contact switches that, when pressed, supply an input to the SCMJ which then activates the associated second row E-Z entry power release seat actuator motors to release the seat assembly and allow it to pitch up/forward.
Power-Fold Seat Control Switch
The power-fold seat switch is a momentary contact switch that, when pressed, supplies an input to the SCMJ which then activates the associated second row power release seat actuator motors to release the backrest and allows it to fold forward.
Seat Heater Mat
Each seat backrest heater mat is equipped with a temperature sensor (thermistor) which provides feedback to the heated seat module. The cushion and backrest heater mats are connected in series.
Blower Motor
The seat cushion and backrest are each equipped with a blower motor assembly. The blower motor assembly is controlled by the SCMB .
Multi-Contour Seat Power Lumbar Assembly
The multi-contour seat power lumbar assembly includes (SCMC (LH rear multi-contour seat module) or SCMD ( RH rear multi-contour seat module), 3 inflatable air bladders and hoses). PMI is required when a new SCMC ( LH rear multi-contour seat module) or SCMD ( RH rear multi-contour seat module) is installed.
Multi-Contour Seat Cushion Adjuster
The multi-contour seat cushion adjuster includes control module, air hoses and bladders (serviced as an assembly). The multi-contour seat cushion adjuster communicates to the SCMC (LH rear multi-contour seat module)/SCMD ( RH rear multi-contour seat module) through a private LIN and does not communicate on any other vehicle network.
Multi-Contour Control Pump
The SCMC (LH rear multi-contour seat module)/SCMD ( RH rear multi-contour seat module) controls the operation of the multi-contour control pump which supplies air pressure necessary to be diverted to the applicable air bladders as required for the desired mode(s) of operation.
SCMC (LH rear multi-contour seat module)
The SCMC (LH rear multi-contour seat module) is serviced by installing a new multi-contour seat power lumbar assembly. The SCMC ( LH rear multi-contour seat module) controls the operation of the LH rear multi-contour seat. PMI is required when a new SCMC ( LH rear multi-contour seat module) is installed. The SCMC ( LH rear multi-contour seat module) communicates on the MS-CAN . The SCMC ( LH rear multi-contour seat module) controls the multi-contour control pump which supplies air pressure necessary to be diverted to the applicable air bladders as required for the desired mode(s) of operation and also communicates to the multi-contour seat cushion adjuster through a LIN .
SCMD (RH rear multi-contour seat module)
The SCMD (RH rear multi-contour seat module) is serviced by installing a new multi-contour seat power lumbar assembly. The SCMD ( RH rear multi-contour seat module) controls the operation of the RH rear multi-contour seat. PMI is required when a new SCMD ( RH rear multi-contour seat module) is installed. The SCMD ( RH rear multi-contour seat module) communicates on the MS-CAN . The SCMD ( RH rear multi-contour seat module) controls the multi-contour control pump which supplies air pressure necessary to be diverted to the applicable air bladders as required for the desired mode(s) of operation and also communicates to the multi-contour seat cushion adjuster through a LIN .
SCME
The SCME (integral to the DSM controls the operation of the LH rear heated/ventilated seat system. The SCME communicates on the MS-CAN . PMI is required on the SCME and DSM when a new module is installed. The DSM hard stop/soft stops must be set/reset any time a new DSM , front driver seat track or front driver seat backrest is installed.
SCMF
The SCMF (integral to the SCMB controls the operation of the RH rear heated/ventilated seat system. The SCMF communicates on the MS-CAN . PMI is required on the SCMF and SCMB when a new module is installed. The SCMB hard stop/soft stops must be set/reset any time a new SCMB , front passenger seat track or front passenger seat backrest is installed.
RACM
The RACM module contains the heated/ventilated seat control buttons and multi-contour seat buttons. PMI is required when a new RACM is installed.
SCMJ
The SCMJ controls the operation of the power E-Z entry and power-folding seats. PMI is required when a new SCMJ is installed.
Removal
NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.
With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.NOTE: Use the hex-holding feature to prevent the stud from turning while removing the nut.
Remove and discard the 2 rear stabilizer bar link nuts and remove the rear stabilizer bar link.
