Code B1960 GMC Description

The Driver Seat Module (DSM) monitors the positions of most of the seat adjuster motors using hall effect type position sensors. The hall effect position sensors are supplied with battery positive reference and ground circuits from the DSM. The position sensor signal circuits are supplied battery positive voltage through a resistor then monitored within the DSM.
