High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) and Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN)

NOTE: The high speed controller area network (HS-CAN) circuits that pass through the passenger seat 12 pin electrical connector are part of the main HS-CAN LOOP. If the front passenger seat-to-floor 12 pin electrical connector is disconnected, a NO START condition will result.

NOTE: The medium speed controller area network (MS-CAN) circuits that pass through the driver and passenger seat harnesses are part of the main MS-CAN LOOP. If the driver seat-to-floor 57 pin electrical connector is disconnected when equipped with memory seats, various MS-CAN modules will not be able to communicate. If the front passenger seat-to-floor 30 pin electrical connector is disconnected when equipped with climate control seats, various MS-CAN modules will not be able to communicate.

This vehicle utilizes 2 communication systems called HS-CAN and MS-CAN. The memory seat and climate controlled seat communicate over the MS-CAN. When diagnosing the memory seat or climate controlled seat, use a Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool with the latest software update with the capability of communicating over the MS-CAN bus.

Principles of Operation

Driver and Passenger Power Seats Without Memory

The driver and front passenger power seat motors are hardwired to the seat control switches on each respective seat. The circuits are normally at ground through the seat control switch. Each individual seat track, recliner (if equipped) and lumbar (if equipped) motor circuit is switched to power when the specific adjustment position is selected.

Power Driver Seat With Memory

The driver power seat is controlled by the driver seat module (DSM), if equipped. The memory driver seat feature allows the driver to program a personalized seat position that can be recalled using the memory switch or a remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter. There are 2 memory settings possible. The outside rear view mirror positions are also stored and recalled with the power driver seat positions.

The DSM is located underneath the driver seat cushion frame. The DSM does not require calibration to the driver seat track.

The driver seat control switch provides voltage to the DSM when activated. The NEUTRAL position of each driver seat control switch position is a ground state through the seat control switch contacts. A voltage input causes the DSM to power the appropriate motor until the input is removed. Ground is the normal state of the motor circuits through the DSM and is not switched to control the motors. The DSM internally switches the appropriate circuit from ground to power for operating the motors.

As the seat is adjusted, the DSM constantly monitors the motor position sensors to record the current seat position. The DSM will remove power from the motor upon termination of the seat control switch input or if the DSM does not see movement from the motor by monitoring the position sensor.

The DSM communicates diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and other information using the MS-CAN communication bus. It should be noted for diagnostics that because CAN bus communication is more robust and reliable than other methods, it may be possible to have limited module communication with one of the CAN bus circuits disconnected or shorted to ground. Refer to Section 418-00 for information concerning MS-CAN bus communication.

Programming Memory Seat Positions

  • A power driver seat position can be stored at any time. The driver must move the seat to the desired position using the driver seat control switch. The driver must then depress the memory SET switch which activates the memory SET switch light emitting diode (LED). Within 5 seconds (before the LED goes out), the driver must select a memory position. Memory 1 is selected by depressing memory switch 1. Memory 2 is selected by depressing memory switch 2.
  • If no memory switch input is received within the 5-second time limit, the operation is aborted and the memory SET switch LED is turned OFF. If one of the following inputs is received during the 5-second programming limit, the operation is aborted and the memory SET switch LED is turned OFF:
    • Power driver seat control switch
    • Memory SET switch

Recalling a Stored Memory Seat Position

NOTE: A memory recall can be initiated only if the vehicle gear selector is in PARK and the ignition switch is not in START. A memory recall in progress will not be affected by moving the ignition switch to START or by moving the gearshift lever out of PARK.

Once the driver has stored the driver seat position, the driver can recall the setting by depressing the corresponding memory switch or by using a programmed remote entry transmitter.

The driver can recall the desired driver seat position by depressing one of the memory recall switches. Depressing memory switch 1 will initiate a recall of the power driver seat position stored in Memory 1. Depressing memory switch 2 will initiate a recall of the power driver seat position stored in Memory 2.

A remote entry transmitter can be used to recall previously set memory positions. The transmitter that has been assigned with personality 1 is capable of recalling memory position 1 only. Similarly, the personality 2 transmitter can recall only memory position 2.

Memory recall occurs when the unlock switch is depressed on the remote entry transmitter. The second depression of the unlock switch, which unlocks passenger doors, does not initiate a memory recall.

A memory recall in progress does not prohibit the initiation of another memory recall; the most recently requested memory recall will be executed.

Memory positions that have not been programmed will not initiate any motion for the power driver seat or power memory rear view mirrors.

Easy Exit/Easy Entry

The easy exit function moves the seat backwards about 50.8 mm (2 in) when the transmission is in PARK and the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch. The DSM receives a key out command over the MS-CAN communication network and powers the driver seat rearward. This function will not operate if the seat is less than the travel distance to the end of the track or the function has been deactivated. The DSM will also cancel this operation if a valid input command is received, such as the seat control switch or memory recall request.

The DSM will record the current seat position before powering the seat for an easy exit function. This recorded position will be used to return the seat to this position on the easy entry operation. During easy entry operation, the seat is returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation when the transmission is in PARK and the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. Easy entry operation will be cancelled if a valid input command is received by the DSM.

The easy exit/easy entry feature can be activated or deactivated using the message center. Refer to the Owner's Literature.

Heated Seats — Front

Vehicles equipped with front heated seats are equipped with a single-heated seat module to control both front heated seats. The heated seat module is located under the front passenger seat. The electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module includes both driver and passenger heated seat control buttons and indicators. The heated seat system will function independently of the vehicle's climate control system. A momentary ground signal is transmitted to the heated seat module when a heated seat switch button on the EATC module is depressed and ignition switched voltage is supplied. Upon receiving each control signal to an input circuit, the heated seat module will decrease one setting (the sequence is hi, low, OFF, hi, etc.). When a heated seat is set to hi, both LED indicators above that heated seat's control button will illuminate. When a heated seat is set to low, only one LED indicator above that switch will illuminate. When activated, the heated seat module supplies power to the selected seat's heater circuit. Each seat's cushion heater mat and backrest heater mat is connected in a series circuit to the heated seat module and powered by the output circuit for that seat and ground. The heated seat module monitors inputs from a temperature sensor, located in each seat's cushion heater mat and maintains seat temperature by regulating current flow to the heater circuits. The heated seat module will remain ON until the heated seat switch button is depressed to cycle the heated seat module OFF or the ignition switch is set to OFF.

If a fault is detected by the heated seat module, the module will stop supplying power to that individual left or right seat and switch indicator, that the fault was detected on. The faults detected will be: a heater feed circuit short to battery, ground or open; sensor circuit short to battery or open; heated seat switch stuck closed to ground. To reset the module, cycle the ignition switch OFF and then ON. After the heated seat module has been reset, the module will return to an OFF state. The heated seat module does not report diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and does not communicate on any of the controller area networks (CANs).

Heated Seats — Rear

Vehicles equipped with rear heated seats are equipped with a single-heated seat module to control both rear heated seats. The heated seat module is located under the rear 60 percent seat. When the heated seat switch is pressed with the ignition switch in RUN, a momentary ground signal is sent to the heated seat module. The heated seat module then supplies power to the heater circuit. The cushion heater mat and seat backrest heater mat are wired in series and powered by the same output. The heated seat module monitors inputs from a temperature sensor, located in each seat's cushion heater mat and maintains seat temperature by cycling the heater feed output as necessary to maintain the setpoint temperature. The heated seat module also will send voltage to the separate indicator circuit at the heated seat switch to indicate an ON state. The heated seat module will remain on until the heated seat switch is pressed for that circuit that is currently on and receives a second momentary ground signal or the ignition switch is set to OFF.

If a fault is detected by the heated seat module, the module will stop supplying power to that individual left or right seat and switch indicator, that the fault was detected on. The faults detected will be: a heater feed circuit short to battery, ground or open; sensor circuit short to battery or open; heated seat switch stuck closed to ground or heated seat switch low and high inputs shorted together. To reset the module, cycle the ignition switch OFF and then ON. After the heated seat module has been reset, the module will return to an OFF state. The heated seat module does not report diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and does not communicate on any of the controller area networks (CANs).

Climate Controlled Seat System

NOTE: When installing a new climate controlled seat module (CCSM), it is necessary to carry out programmable module installation (PMI). Refer to Section 418-01.

Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the CCSM mounted under the front passenger seat. The climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the CCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition switch key on engine off (KOEO). The system receives power on 2 fused circuits from the battery junction box (BJB). If only one of the BJB fuses opens, both seats will remain operational because the power feed circuits are internally connected in the CCSM.

Both climate controlled seats operate independently. If a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module and the other will remain operational.

The 4 switches (identified with seat icons) on the dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module activate each seat system setting and illuminate LEDs above each switch to indicate the operating mode, 3 LEDs for high, 2 LEDs for medium or 1 LED for low. The push-buttons with the blue seat icon operate the seat cooling mode and the push-buttons with the red seat icon operate the seat heating mode. The climate controlled seat system is not equipped with auto-mode.

Each driver and front passenger seat cushion is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED). Similarly, each driver and front passenger seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the EATC seat switch settings.

NOTE: Avoid applying power directly to a TED for testing its operation. Doing so may cause damage to the TED or shorten its usable life.

The temperature differences between the individual heated and cooled settings is minimal. For example, it is difficult to distinguish between low cool and medium cool settings. Measuring seat temperature at different settings is possible by monitoring the CCSM PIDs using the scan tool.

The EATC module communicates climate controlled seat commands to the CCSM using the medium speed controller area network (MS-CAN) communication bus. The MS-CAN bus is connected to the data link connector (DLC) for diagnostic use. No direct connection exists between the CCSM and EATC for the climate controlled seat switches. The climate controlled seats can be commanded using the scan tool to verify both module communication on the MS-CAN bus and operation of the CCSM. This method may be useful for isolating a control switch concern. It should also be noted that because CAN bus communication is more robust and reliable than other methods, it may be possible to have limited module communication with one of the CAN bus circuits disconnected or shorted to ground. Refer to Section 418-00 for additional information concerning CAN bus communication.

Heating Characteristics

  • In heat mode, the TED circuits of a given seat are wired in parallel internally in the CCSM.
  • The climate controlled seat system draws approximately 24 amperes, with both seats heating, until reaching the set point and then the system operates at a reduced amperage to maintain the climate setting.
  • In heat mode, the TED can add up to 40°C - 60°C (72°F - 108°F) to the ambient air temperature entering the system.
  • There are 3 manual settings based on the LEDs above each seat heat switch button on the EATC. The first setting is high (3 LEDs), the second setting is medium (2 LEDs), the third is low (1 LED) then OFF (no LEDs).
  • In the low setting, the climate controlled seat module is set to maintain TED temperature at approximately 46°C (115°F) (not at seat surface).
  • In the high setting, the climate controlled seat module is set to maintain TED temperature at 65°C (149°F) (not at seat surface).
  • When heating, the CCSM will vary the speed of the fans and the TED duty cycle in order to reach and maintain the temperature determined by the switch setting. Refer to the following table for heating mode temperatures.
Climate Controlled Seat Heat State Initial Temperature Final Temperature
High 90°C (194°F) 65°C (149°F)
Med 80°C (176°F) 60°C (140°F)
Low 75°C (167°F) 46°C (115°F)

Cooling Characteristics

  • In cool mode, the TED circuits of a given seat are wired in series internally in the CCSM.
  • The climate controlled seat system draws approximately 7 amps when in cool mode on high setting.
  • In cool mode, the TED can remove up to 8°C (14°F) from the ambient air temperature entering the system.
  • There are 3 manual settings based on the LEDs above each seat cool switch button on the EATC. The first setting is high (3 LEDs), the second setting is medium (2 LEDs) and the third is low (1 LED) then OFF (no LEDs).
  • When cooling, the CCSM maintains constant speed of the fans and constant TED supply voltage (duty cycle) in open loop cool mode.
Climate Controlled Seat Cool State TED Voltage TED Supply Duty Cycle
High Vbat 100%
Med Vbat 75%
Low Vbat 50%

The climate controlled seat system is deactivated by one of the following actions:

  • Selecting the EATC module setting to manual OFF.
  • Turning the vehicle OFF.

If the temperature at one of the TEDs falls below 5°C (41°F), the climate controlled seat module will shut down the TEDs and initiate system recovery mode. If the temperature continues to drop below 2°C (36°F), the climate controlled seat module will shut down the affected seat operation.

Climate Controlled Seat System Recovery Mode

NOTE: The presence of overtemperature faults (DTCs B2729, B2730, B272A and B272B) can be induced by incorrect operation of the climate controlled seat system after an initial HEAT setting has been attained. If a HEAT setting is repeatedly turned OFF and ON in an attempt to increase the seat temperature or repeatedly toggled between HEAT and COOL modes, an overtemperature condition can result and the DTC(s) will be set.

If the temperature at one of the TEDs rises above 110°C (230°F) in the HEAT mode or 65°C (149°F) in the COOL mode for more than 4 seconds, the CCSM will record an overtemperature DTC, remove power from the TEDs and go into recovery mode (blower only) for 30 seconds to cool down the TEDs. The same will occur if a temperature difference of 30°C (54°F) or greater is seen between the backrest and cushion TEDs on either front seat. The CCSM will continue to monitor the TEDs while in recovery mode. If the temperature of the TEDs does not drop to 105°C (221°F) in the HEAT mode or 60°C (140°F) in the COOL mode after 30 seconds, the system will continue to cool the TEDs in recovery mode for up to 5 minutes. If the TEDs cool down at anytime after 30 seconds, but before 5 minutes (checked at 4 second intervals), the system will operate as normal. An overtemperature DTC will still be recorded even if the system recovers and is operating normally. This scenario is more likely to occur during extreme cabin temperatures with significant seat back sun-load. If the system does not recover within 30 seconds in HEAT mode or within 5 minutes in COOL mode, the CCSM will disable that seat (fault mode) and remain off until the ignition is cycled. Also, if the CCSM detects an overtemperature or temperature differential fault twice during the same ignition cycle, it will also shut down. When a fault causes a shut-down the climate controlled seat indicators will turn off for the affected seat and that seat will not be operational until the next key cycle.

Second Row Power-Fold Seat

For the second row power-fold seat to operate, voltage is supplied by the smart power distribution junction box (SPDJB) to the power-fold seat relay, enabling the seats to then be moved by pressing the second row power-fold seat switch. The second row power-fold seat operates only when the vehicle is in PARK and the liftgate glass or liftgate door is open.

The power-fold seat relay will be provided voltage on the coil side from the SPDJB for 30 minutes when the transmission selector is in PARK, and the liftgate, or liftgate glass, is open. The voltage will be disabled 30 minutes after turning the vehicle OFF. If the relay is disabled after 30 minutes, it can be enabled by opening any door, pressing the unlock key on the key fob, pressing any keyless keypad button or turning the ignition key.

The second row power-fold seat actuators release a locking mechanism allowing the seat backrest to fold down onto the seat cushion.

Pinpoint Tests

CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. If exposed to these charges, damage can result.

Refer to Inspection and Verification, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart and the Symptom Chart for direction to the appropriate Pinpoint Test.

Pinpoint Test A: The Power Seat is Inoperative — Driver, With Power Recliner

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 120, Power Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The driver seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit SBB60 (GN/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD145 (BK/BU). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies that voltage and ground to a power seat track motor or power recliner motor to move the seat or backrest. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to that same power seat track motor or power recliner motor, which moves the seat or backrest in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat cushion horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). There is an additional motor in the power recliner mechanism to move the seat backrest forward and rearward. If a new seat track motor needs to be installed, it is necessary to install an entire power seat track. The power recline motor is serviced separately.

Pinpoint Test J: The Power Seat Does Not Move Horizontally/Vertically/Recline — Passenger

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 120, Power Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The passenger seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit SBB61 (GY/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD145 (BK/BU). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies that voltage and ground to a power seat track motor or power recliner motor to move the seat or backrest. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to that same power seat track motor or power recliner motor, which moves the seat or backrest in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat cushion horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). There is an additional motor in the power recliner mechanism to move the seat backrest forward and rearward. If a new seat track motor needs to be installed, it is necessary to install an entire power seat track. The power recline motor is serviced separately.

Possible Causes

A passenger power seat that does not move horizontally, vertically or recline can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty seat control switch.
  • a faulty seat track motor (seat track).
  • a faulty power recliner motor.

Pinpoint Test L: The Memory Seat is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly — Does Not Operate Horizontally/Vertically/Recline, MKX

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 123, Memory Seats for schematic and connector information.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 149, Component Testing for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The driver seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD133 (BK). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies the voltage and ground to the applicable driver seat module (DSM) inputs. The DSM then supplies voltage and ground to the appropriate power seat track motor or power recline motor, based on the inputs received from the seat control switch. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to the DSM inputs, and the DSM likewise reverses polarity of the appropriate power seat track motor or power recliner motor circuits causing the seat or backrest to move in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). The seat backrest power recliner uses a single motor to move the seat backrest forward and rearward.

Battery voltage is supplied to DSM circuit SBB60 (GN/RD) and SBP12 (GN/RD). Ground is supplied to DSM circuit GD145 (BK/BU).

Each motor in the memory power seat track and power recliner contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM supplies a signal feed circuit to each position sensor and a shared reference signal return circuit. Each position sensor sends a signal voltage back to the DSM used to monitor the position of the power seat and seat backrest. The DSM uses this information to return the seat to a stored pre-programmed position when pressing the memory SET switch or a remote entry transmitter. Refer to Principles of Operation in this section or the Owner's Literature for information on programming the DSM for storing memory seat positions.

The following pinpoint test diagnoses a memory seat that does not operate in one or more directions when using the seat control switch. If the memory seat moves in all directions using the seat control switch, Go To Pinpoint Test M.

Possible Causes

An inoperative memory seat can be caused by:

  • a fuse.
  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty seat control switch.
  • missing status information (CAN communication bus message):
    • ignition switch status.
    • gear selector position.
  • a faulty memory power seat track.
  • a faulty memory power recliner motor.
  • a faulty DSM.

PINPOINT TEST L: THE MEMORY SEAT IS INOPERATIVE/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY — DOES NOT OPERATE HORIZONTALLY/VERTICALLY/RECLINE, MKX

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the memory seat system. Poor battery condition may interfere with memory seat operation, even if vehicle starting is possible.

Pinpoint Test M: The Memory Seat Does Not Operate Correctly — Does Not Operate Using the Memory SET Switch, MKX

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 123, Memory Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The driver seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD133 (BK). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies the voltage and ground to the applicable driver seat module (DSM) inputs. The DSM then supplies voltage and ground to the appropriate power seat track motor or power recline motor, based on the inputs received from the seat control switch. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to the DSM inputs, and the DSM likewise reverses polarity of the appropriate power seat track motor or power recliner motor circuits causing the seat or backrest to move in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). The seat backrest power recliner uses a single motor to move the seat backrest forward and rearward.

Battery voltage is supplied to DSM circuit SBB60 (GN/RD) and SBP12 (GN/RD). Ground is supplied to DSM circuit GD145 (BK/BU).

Each motor in the memory power seat track and power recliner contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM supplies a signal feed circuit to each position sensor and a shared reference signal return circuit. Each position sensor sends a signal voltage back to the DSM used to monitor the position of the power seat and seat backrest. The DSM uses this information to return the seat to a stored pre-programmed position when pressing the memory SET switch or a remote entry transmitter. Refer to Principles of Operation in this section or the Owner's Literature for information on programming the DSM for storing memory seat positions.

The following pinpoint test diagnoses a memory seat that does not operate correctly using the memory SET switch. If the memory seat does not move in all directions using the seat control switch, Go To Pinpoint Test L.

Possible Causes

A memory seat that does not operate correctly can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty memory SET switch.
  • missing status information (CAN communication bus message):
    • ignition switch status.
    • gear selector position.
  • a faulty remote entry transmitter.
  • a faulty memory power seat track.
  • a faulty memory recliner motor.
  • a faulty DSM.

PINPOINT TEST M: THE MEMORY SEAT DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY — DOES NOT OPERATE USING THE MEMORY SET SWITCH, MKX

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the memory seat system. Poor battery condition may interfere with memory seat operation, even if vehicle starting is possible.

Pinpoint Test N: The Memory Seat is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly — Does Not Operate Horizontally/Vertically/Recline, Edge

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 123, Memory Seats for schematic and connector information.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 149, Component Testing for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The driver seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD133 (BK). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies the voltage and ground to the applicable driver seat module (DSM) inputs. The DSM then supplies voltage and ground to the appropriate power seat track motor based on the inputs received from the seat control switch. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to the DSM inputs, and the DSM likewise reverses polarity of the appropriate power seat track motor circuits causing the seat to move in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down).

Battery voltage is also supplied to DSM circuit SBB60 (GN/RD) and is supplied ground to DSM circuit GD145 (BK/BU).

Each motor in the memory power seat track contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM supplies a signal feed circuit to each position sensor and a shared reference signal return circuit. Each position sensor sends a signal voltage back to the DSM used to monitor the position of the power seat. The DSM uses this information to return the seat to a stored pre-programmed position when pressing the memory SET switch or a remote entry transmitter. Refer to Principles of Operation in this section or the Owner's Literature for information on programming the DSM for storing memory seat positions.

The following pinpoint test diagnoses a memory seat that does not operate in one or more directions when using the seat control switch. If the memory seat moves in all directions using the seat control switch, Go To Pinpoint Test O.

Possible Causes

An inoperative memory seat can be caused by:

  • a fuse.
  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty seat control switch.
  • missing status information (CAN communication bus message):
    • ignition switch status.
    • gear selector position.
  • a faulty memory power seat track.
  • a faulty DSM.

PINPOINT TEST N: THE MEMORY SEAT IS INOPERATIVE/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY — DOES NOT OPERATE HORIZONTALLY/VERTICALLY, EDGE

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the memory seat system. Poor battery condition may interfere with memory seat operation, even if vehicle starting is possible.

Pinpoint Test O: The Memory Seat Does Not Operate Correctly — Does Not Operate Using the Memory SET Switch, Edge

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 123, Memory Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The driver seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD133 (BK). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies the voltage and ground to the applicable driver seat module (DSM) inputs. The DSM then supplies voltage and ground to the appropriate power seat track motor based on the inputs received from the seat control switch. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to the DSM inputs, and the DSM likewise reverses polarity of the appropriate power seat track motor or power recliner motor circuits causing the seat or backrest to move in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down).

Battery voltage is supplied to DSM circuit SBB60 (GN/RD) and SBP12 (GN/RD). Ground is supplied to DSM circuit GD145 (BK/BU).

Each motor in the memory power seat track contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM supplies a signal feed circuit to each position sensor and a shared reference signal return circuit. Each position sensor sends a signal voltage back to the DSM used to monitor the position of the power seat. The DSM uses this information to return the seat to a stored pre-programmed position when pressing the memory SET switch or a remote entry transmitter. Refer to Principles of Operation in this section or the owner's literature for additional information on programming the DSM for storing memory seat positions.

The following pinpoint test diagnoses a memory seat that does not operate correctly using the memory SET switch. If the memory seat does not move in all directions using the seat control switch, Go To Pinpoint Test N.

Possible Causes

A memory seat that does not operate correctly can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty memory SET switch.
  • missing status information (CAN communication bus message):
    • ignition switch status.
    • gear selector position.
  • a faulty remote entry transmitter.
  • a faulty memory power seat track.
  • a faulty DSM.

PINPOINT TEST O: THE MEMORY SEAT DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY — DOES NOT OPERATE USING THE MEMORY SET SWITCH, EDGE

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the memory seat system. Poor battery condition may interfere with memory seat operation, even if vehicle starting is possible.

Pinpoint Test T: The Heated Seats are Inoperative — Front

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The heated seat module receives ignition voltage feed on circuit CBP35 (YE/GY), battery voltage feed on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD133 (BK). When ignition switched power is supplied and the driver or passenger heated seat button on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module is pressed, a momentary ground signal is sent to the heated seat module to command the system ON or OFF. Upon receiving a signal, the heated seat module will decrease one setting (the sequence is hi, lo, OFF, hi, etc.). The heated seat module supplies voltage to the cushion and backrest heater mats, which are connected in series and operate together. A separate ground to the heater mats is provided on the backrest heater mat. Temperature is maintained by the heated seat module using a sensor contained within the cushion heater mat. The heated seat module supplies a reference voltage to the temperature sensor and monitors the return signal from the temperature sensor for controlling current flow to the heater mats. The heated seat module is designed to remain ON, heating the seat and maintaining temperature until switched OFF from the EATC module or the ignition switch is turned OFF.

Possible Causes

An inoperative heated seat can be caused by:

  • an open fuse.
  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty heated seat module.

Pinpoint Test U: The Heated Seat is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly — Driver

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The heated seat module receives ignition voltage feed on circuit CBP35 (YE/GY), battery voltage feed on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD133 (BK). When ignition switched power is supplied and the driver heated seat button on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module is pressed, a momentary ground signal is sent to the heated seat module on circuit CHS29 (WH/BU) to command the system ON or OFF. Upon receiving a signal, the heated seat module will decrease one setting (the sequence is hi, lo, OFF, hi, etc.). The heated seat module supplies voltage to the cushion and backrest heater mats on circuit CHS02 (YE/BU). Ground to the heater mats is provided on circuit GD145 (BK/BU). The cushion and backrest heater mats are connected in series and operate together. Temperature is maintained by the heated seat module using a sensor contained within the cushion heater mat. The heated seat module supplies a reference voltage to the temperature sensor on circuit RHS05 (YE/VT) and monitors the signal from the temperature sensor on circuit VHS26 (VT) for controlling current flow to the heater mats. The heated seat module is designed to remain ON, heating the seat and maintaining temperature until switched OFF from the EATC module or the ignition switch is turned OFF.

Possible Causes

An inoperative driver heated seat can be caused by:

  • an open fuse.
  • faulty wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty heater mat.
  • a faulty heated seat module.
  • a faulty EATC module.

PINPOINT TEST U: THE HEATED SEAT IS INOPERATIVE/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY — DRIVER

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Normal Operation

The heated seat module receives ignition voltage feed on circuit CBP35 (YE/GY), battery voltage feed on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD133 (BK). When ignition switched power is supplied and the driver heated seat button on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module is pressed, a momentary ground signal is sent to the heated seat module on circuit CHS30 (GY/YE) to command the system ON or OFF. Upon receiving a signal, the heated seat module will decrease one setting (the sequence is hi, lo, OFF, hi, etc.). The heated seat module supplies voltage to the cushion and backrest heater mats on circuit CHS07 (GY/BU). Ground to the heater mats is provided on circuit GD145 (BK/BU). The cushion and backrest heater mats are connected in series and operate together. Temperature is maintained by the heated seat module using a sensor contained within the cushion heater mat. The heated seat module supplies a reference voltage to the temperature sensor on circuit RHS05 (YE/VT) and monitors the signal from the temperature sensor on circuit VHS27 (WH/OG) for controlling current flow to the heater mats. The heated seat module is designed to remain ON, heating the seat and maintaining temperature until switched OFF from the EATC module or the ignition switch is turned OFF.

Pinpoint Test AA: The Heated Seat is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly — Right Rear

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The heated seat module receives battery voltage on circuit CBP35 (YE/GY) and ignition voltage on circuit SBB07 (WH/RD), and is supplied ground on circuit GD133 (BK). When the right rear heated seat control switch is pressed with the ignition switch in RUN or START, a ground is supplied on circuit CHS50 (BU/GY) to command the system ON or OFF in hi heat mode or circuit CHS51 (YE/GY) to command the system ON or OFF in low heat mode. When commanded ON, voltage is supplied to the heated seat switch from the heated seat module on either circuit CHS52 (BU) (hi heat mode) or circuit CHS53 (WH/BN) (low heat mode) illuminating the switch indicator. The heated seat module also supplies voltage to the cushion and backrest heater mats on circuit CHS43 (GY/BU) and ground to the heater mats on circuit GD151 (BK/GN). The cushion and backrest heater mats are connected in series and operate together. Temperature is maintained by the heated seat module using a sensor contained within the cushion heater mat. The heated seat module monitors the temperature sensor on circuit VHS45 (GY/BN) for adjusting the current flow to the heater mats and uses a ground supplied on circuit RHS41 (GN/BN). The heated seat module is designed to remain ON, heating the seat and maintaining temperature until switched OFF or the ignition power is switched OFF.

Possible Causes

An inoperative right rear heated seat can be caused by:

  • faulty wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty heater mat.
  • a faulty heated seat module.

Pinpoint Test AF: A Single Climate Controlled Seat is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the climate controlled seat module (CCSM) mounted to the bottom of the passenger seat. The climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the CCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition switch key on engine off (KOEO). The system receives power from battery junction box (BJB) fuse 16 (30A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3036a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3036a with the power connection remaining on the other circuit, both seats will remain operational because the power feed circuits are connected internally in the CCSM. However, if a fault occurs setting a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module and the other will remain operational.

Each driver and front passenger seat cushion is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED). Similarly, each driver and front passenger seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) seat switch settings.

Possible Causes

A single climate controlled seat that does not operate can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • an MS-CAN fault.

  • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: DataLogger/PID: Driver DATC State Encoded Seat Mode or Passenger DATC State Encoded Seat Mode.
  • NOTE: The CCSM active commands Thermal Electric Device (TED) Heat Mode (driver seat) and Passenger Thermal Electric Device (TED) Heat Mode (passenger seat) are limited to 15 seconds in the ON state, then turn OFF.
  • NOTE: The CCSM is not the source of the fault if the active command mode is operational and also demonstrates the CCSM is able to receive and process inbound command messages from the communication bus. This indicates the EATC module may not be sending the commands correctly.
  • Monitor the CCSM PID for the affected seat while commanding the active command for that seat ON.
  • Does the affected seat operate using the active command?
Yes
GO to AF5.

No
GO to AF4.

Pinpoint Test AG: DTC B103B/B1111 — Thermoelectric Driver Overcurrent Low/Driver Thermoelectric Device Control Overtemperature Fault

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the climate controlled seat module (CCSM) mounted to the bottom of the passenger seat cushion. The climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the CCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition switch key on engine off (KOEO). The system receives power from battery junction box (BJB) fuse 16 (30A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3036a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3036a with the power connection remaining on the other circuit, both seats will remain operational because the power feed circuits are connected internally in the CCSM. However, if a fault occurs setting a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module and the other will remain operational.

Each driver and front passenger seat cushion is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED). Similarly, each driver and front passenger seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) seat switch settings.

Possible Causes

A TED driver overcurrent low or device control overtemperature fault can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulted TED assembly.
  • a faulted CCSM.

Pinpoint Test AJ: DTC B1113/B111B — Passenger Thermoelectric Device Control Overtemperature Fault/Passenger Thermoelectric Driver Overcurrent Low

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the climate controlled seat module (CCSM) mounted to the bottom of the passenger seat cushion. The climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the CCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition switch key on engine off (KOEO). The system receives power from battery junction box (BJB) fuse 16 (30A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3036a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3036a with the power connection remaining on the other circuit, both seats will remain operational because the power feed circuits are connected internally in the CCSM. However, if a fault occurs setting a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module and the other will remain operational.

Each driver and front passenger seat cushion is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED). Similarly, each driver and front passenger seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) seat switch settings.

Possible Causes

A TED device control overtemperature or overcurrent low fault can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulted TED assembly.
  • a faulted CCSM.

Pinpoint Test AN: DTC B272A — Passenger Cushion Over-Temp Detected

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the climate controlled seat module (CCSM) mounted to the bottom of the passenger seat cushion. The climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the CCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition switch key on engine off (KOEO). The system receives power from battery junction box (BJB) fuse 16 (30A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3036a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3036a with the power connection remaining on the other circuit, both seats will remain operational because the power feed circuits are connected internally in the CCSM. However, if a fault occurs setting a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module and the other will remain operational.

Each driver and front passenger seat cushion is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED). Similarly, each driver and front passenger seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) seat switch settings.

Possible Causes

A passenger seat cushion over-temp fault can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • restricted cushion TED filter.
  • crushed or restricted cushion foam pad.
  • crushed or restricted climate controlled seat manifold.
  • a faulted cushion TED assembly.
  • a faulted CCSM.

PINPOINT TEST AN: DTC B272A — PASSENGER CUSHION OVER-TEMP DETECTED

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

Pinpoint Test AP: DTC B272C — Driver Differential Temperature Fault

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the climate controlled seat module (CCSM) mounted to the bottom of the passenger seat cushion. The climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the CCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition switch key on engine off (KOEO). The system receives power from battery junction box (BJB) fuse 16 (30A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3036a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3036a with the power connection remaining on the other circuit, both seats will remain operational because the power feed circuits are connected internally in the CCSM. However, if a fault occurs setting a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module and the other will remain operational.

Each driver and front passenger seat cushion is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED). Similarly, each driver and front passenger seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) seat switch settings.

A differential fault occurs when the cushion and backrest TEDs on the seat are reporting temperatures to the CCSM with a difference between them of 30°C (54°F) or greater. This can result from an air flow restriction or a circuit fault of either TED. If a TED and manifold is clear of obstruction and is operational, the other TED and circuitry on the seat should be checked. It is important to note that a TED with a higher temperature may be operating correctly and not be the area of concern. The other TED may be indicating a much lower temperature, causing the DTC to set.

Possible Causes

A driver differential temperature fault can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • restricted cushion or backrest TED filter.
  • crushed or restricted cushion or backrest foam pad.
  • crushed or restricted cushion or backrest climate controlled seat manifold.
  • a faulted cushion or backrest TED assembly.
  • a faulted CCSM.

PINPOINT TEST AP: DTC B272C — DRIVER DIFFERENTIAL TEMPERATURE FAULT

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Test Step Result / Action to Take
AP1 CHECK THE CCSM FOR DTCS
  • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Climate Controlled Seat Module (CCSM) Self Test/Retrieve DTCs.
  • Was DTC B2729 or B2730 retrieved in the self-test as an on-demand or a continuous DTC?
Yes
For DTC B2729, Go To Pinpoint Test AM. For DTC B2730, Go To Pinpoint Test AR.

No
GO to AP2.
AP2 MONITOR THE CCSM TED TEMPERATURE PIDS
  • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: DataLogger/PID: CCSM TED Temperature PIDs.
  • CAUTION: Make sure the temperature of the climate controlled seats has stabilized before monitoring the PIDs.
  • Monitor the TED temperature PIDs with the climate controlled seats off. Compare the PIDs of the driver seat to those of the front passenger seat, this can help identify if there is a concern with the driver seat cushion or backrest PID readings.
  • Are both driver seat TED temperature PIDs within 10°C (18°F) of the ambient temperature?
Yes
GO to AP3.

No
If the driver seat cushion PID varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, GO to AP16.

If the driver seat backrest PID varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, GO to AP31.
AP3 CONFIRM THE FAULT IS IN THE SEAT CUSHION OR THE BACKREST
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Key in ON position.
  • NOTE: A crushed seat cushion foam pad or a crushed climate controlled seat manifold may be the cause of the fault. It may be necessary to sit on the seat or place something of reasonable size and weight on the seat to recreate the fault.
  • NOTE: If the seat shuts down before a 15-minute heat cycle has timed-out, carry out the CCSM self test and go to the Climate Controlled Seat Module (CCSM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart to continue diagnostics.
  • After cycling the ignition switch and with the engine running, set the driver seat to high heat (3 LEDs illuminated on EATC module). Allow the seat to heat for at least 15 minutes while monitoring the TED temperature PIDs of the driver seat. If necessary, when the seat times-out after 15 minutes, set the driver seat to high heat once again.
  • Do the driver seat cushion TED and backrest TED PIDs vary more than 30°C (54°F) from each other?
Yes
If the driver seat cushion PID is 30°C (54°F) hotter than the backrest PID, GO to AP5 .

If the driver seat backrest PID is 30°C (54°F) hotter than the cushion PID, GO to AP20 .

No
GO to AP4.
AP4 CHECK THE TEDS COOLING PERFORMANCE
  • Check the TEDs cooling performance on the driver seat. Refer to Component Test — Thermo-Electric Device (TED) Cooling Performance in this section.
  • Did the TEDs pass the component test?
Yes
The DTC may have been set by extreme cabin temperatures or excessive sun-load on the seat causing the system to enter recovery mode. Occupant size and weight characteristics can also be a factor. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation. If a concern cannot be found or duplicated, RETURN the vehicle to the customer.

No
CHECK the affected seat cushion or backrest for correct installation of the climate controlled seat components (TED, manifold, air ducts and foam pad). CHECK for airflow restrictions (TED inlets and outlets, TED-to-manifold connections, filters and ducts) and REPAIR as needed. CHECK for an intermittent wiring fault. REPAIR as needed.

Pinpoint Test AQ: DTC B272D — Passenger Differential Temperature Fault

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the climate controlled seat module (CCSM) mounted to the bottom of the passenger seat cushion. The climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the CCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition switch key on engine off (KOEO). The system receives power from battery junction box (BJB) fuse 16 (30A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3036a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3036a with the power connection remaining on the other circuit, both seats will remain operational because the power feed circuits are connected internally in the CCSM. However, if a fault occurs setting a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module and the other will remain operational.

Each driver and front passenger seat cushion is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED). Similarly, each driver and front passenger seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) seat switch settings.

A differential fault occurs when the cushion and backrest TEDs on the seat are reporting temperatures to the CCSM with a difference between them of 30°C (54°F) or greater. This can result from an air flow restriction or a circuit fault of either TED. If a TED and manifold is clear of obstruction and is operational, the other TED and circuitry on the seat should be checked. It is important to note that a TED with a higher temperature may be operating correctly and not be the area of concern. The other TED may be indicating a much lower temperature, causing the DTC to set.

Possible Causes

A driver differential temperature fault can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • restricted cushion or backrest TED filter.
  • crushed or restricted cushion or backrest foam pad.
  • crushed or restricted cushion or backrest climate controlled seat manifold.
  • a faulted cushion or backrest TED assembly.
  • a faulted CCSM.

PINPOINT TEST AQ: DTC B272D — PASSENGER DIFFERENTIAL TEMPERATURE FAULT

NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Test Step Result / Action to Take
AQ1 CHECK THE CCSM FOR DTCS
  • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Climate Controlled Seat Module (CCSM) Self Test/Retrieve DTCs.
  • Was DTC B272A or B272B retrieved in the self-test as an on-demand or a continuous DTC?
Yes
For DTC B272A, Go To Pinpoint Test AN. For DTC B272B, Go To Pinpoint Test AO.

No
GO to AQ2.
AQ2 MONITOR THE CCSM TED TEMPERATURE PIDS
  • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: DataLogger/PID: CCSM TED Temperature PIDs.
  • CAUTION: Make sure the temperature of the climate controlled seats has stabilized before monitoring the PIDs.
  • Monitor the TED temperature PIDs with the climate controlled seats off. Compare the PIDs of the front passenger seat to those of the driver seat, this can help identify if there is a concern with the front passenger seat cushion or backrest PID readings.
  • Are both front passenger seat TED temperature PIDs within 10°C (18°F) of the ambient temperature?
Yes
GO to AQ3.

No
If the front passenger seat cushion PID varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, GO to AQ16.

If the front passenger seat backrest PID varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, GO to AQ31.
AQ3 CONFIRM THE FAULT IS IN THE SEAT CUSHION OR THE BACKREST
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Key in ON position.
  • NOTE: A crushed seat cushion foam pad or a crushed climate controlled seat manifold may be the cause of the fault. It may be necessary to sit on the seat or place something of reasonable size and weight on the seat to recreate the fault.
  • NOTE: If the seat shuts down before a 15-minute heat cycle has timed-out, carry out the CCSM self test and go to the Climate Controlled Seat Module (CCSM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart to continue diagnostics.
  • After cycling the ignition switch and with the engine running, set the driver seat to high heat (3 LEDs illuminated on EATC module). Allow the seat to heat for at least 15 minutes while monitoring the TED temperature PIDs of the driver seat. If necessary, when the seat times-out after 15 minutes, set the driver seat to high heat once again.
  • Do the driver seat cushion TED and backrest TED PIDs vary more than 30°C (54°F) from each other?
Yes
If the front passenger seat cushion PID is 30°C (54°F) hotter than the backrest PID, GO to AQ5.

If the front passenger seat backrest PID is 30°C (54°F) hotter than the cushion PID, GO to AQ20.

No
GO to AQ4.
AQ4 CHECK THE TEDS COOLING PERFORMANCE
  • Check the TEDs cooling performance on the passenger seat. Refer to Component Test — Thermo-Electric Device (TED) Cooling Performance in this section.
  • Did the TEDs pass the component test?
Yes
The DTC may have been set by extreme cabin temperatures or excessive sun-load on the seat causing the system to enter recovery mode. Occupant size and weight characteristics can also be a factor. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation. If a concern cannot be found or duplicated, RETURN the vehicle to the customer.

No
CHECK the affected seat cushion or backrest for correct installation of the climate controlled seat components (TED, manifold, air ducts and foam pad). CHECK for airflow restrictions (TED inlets and outlets, TED-to-manifold connections, filters and ducts) and REPAIR as needed. CHECK for an intermittent wiring fault. REPAIR as needed. REPEAT the self-test. CLEAR the DTCs.

Pinpoint Test AR: DTC B2730 — Back Over-Temp Detected (Driver)

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the climate controlled seat module (CCSM) mounted to the bottom of the passenger seat cushion. The climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the CCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition switch key on engine off (KOEO). The system receives power from battery junction box (BJB) fuse 16 (30A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB16 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3036a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3036a with the power connection remaining on the other circuit, both seats will remain operational because the power feed circuits are connected internally in the CCSM. However, if a fault occurs setting a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module and the other will remain operational.

Each driver and front passenger seat cushion is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED). Similarly, each driver and front passenger seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) seat switch settings.

Possible Causes

A driver seat backrest over-temp fault can be caused by:

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • restricted backrest TED filter.
  • crushed or restricted backrest foam pad.
  • crushed or restricted climate controlled seat manifold.

    Step 3: Gain access to the seat backrest and cushion TEDs and use a suitable thermo-couple temperature measuring device
  4. NOTE: The engine must be running to operate the climate controlled seat system and carry out this test.

    Operate system in high cool mode and measure the temperature at the cushion TED filter using the thermo-couple device.
    • Obtain and record the air inlet temperature at the TED.
  5. Use a scan tool to measure the cushion TED PID temperature and record the value.
    • Monitor the MODE PID and verify the system is operating. If during testing the PID value changes to Blower Only state, the system has entered into recovery mode and power to the TEDs is disabled. If this occurs, the seat has failed the test. Do not continue. Return to the diagnostic routine.
  6. Subtract the cushion TED PID temperature from the cushion air inlet temperature and record the temperature difference value.
  7. Continue to operate the system in high cool mode and use the thermo-couple device to measure the temperature at the backrest TED filter.
    • Obtain and record the air inlet temperature at the TED.
      • Secure the temperature probe at the backrest TED air filter and close the backrest trim cover before measuring.
  8. Use a scan tool to measure the backrest TED PID temperature and record the value.
    • Monitor the MODE PID and verify the system is operating. If during testing the PID value changes to Blower Only state, the system has entered into recovery mode and power to the TEDs is disabled. If this occurs, the seat has failed the test. Do not continue. Return to the diagnostic routine.
  9. Subtract the backrest TED PID temperature from the backrest air inlet temperature and record the value.
  10. Compare the cushion and backrest calculated temperature values. Both values should be between 6° - 8°C (10.8° - 14.4°F) and approximately equal (±1°C [±1.8°F]).
  11. If the calculated temperature values are not within these specifications, check the climate controlled seat components for air duct or filter restrictions, blockages, duct or electrical disconnections and for incorrect assembly. Repair as needed. If OK, carry out the CCSM self-test and if any DTC is retrieved, go to Climate Controlled Seat Module (CCSM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart for diagnostic direction. Return to the diagnostic routine.
