Principles of Operation

Driver and Passenger Power Seats Without Memory

The 10-way seat control feature moves the seat in 10 possible directions: the seat can be moved forward or backward and the front and back of the cushion can be moved up and down independently. The backrest of the seat can be moved forward and backward, and the lumbar can be moved in and out. All 10 positions are controlled by one switch. The power seat feature operates independent of the ignition switch position.

The 6-way power seat feature moves the seat in 6 possible directions: the seat can be moved forward or backward and the front and back of the cushion can be moved up and down independently. The power seat feature operates independent of the ignition switch position.

The power seat motors are hardwired to the seat control switch. The circuits are normally at ground through the seat control switch. An individual circuit is switched to power when a specific adjustment position is selected.

Power Driver Seat With Memory

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 (if associated). There are 2 memory settings possible. The outside rear view mirror positions, the power adjustable pedals (if equipped) position and power adjustable steering column tilt position are also stored and recalled with the power driver seat positions. For vehicles equipped with power telescopic steering columns, only the tilting feature is controlled by the memory system.

The driver power seat is controlled by the driver seat module (DSM), if equipped. The DSM is located underneath the driver seat cushion frame. Programmable module installation (PMI) must be carried out when installing a new DSM. Refer to Section 418-01. 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 has the ability for soft stops both at the upper and lower limits on all axis of the driver seat and power adjustable steering column. When an axis reaches the hard stop and the switch is held for approximately one second it will then back up 180 msec and establish the soft stop for that axis in that direction. The DSM uses this 'back up' strategy to check sensor integrity any time movement has stopped prematurely due to a sensor failure or obstruction.

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 additional information concerning MS-CAN bus communication.

This section only diagnoses concerns specific to the memory seat. To diagnose a memory power mirror concern, refer to Section 501-09. To diagnose a power adjustable pedal concern, refer to Section 206-00. To diagnose a power adjustable steering column concern, refer to Section 211-04.

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. Within 5 seconds, 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. If one of the following inputs is received during the 5-second programming limit, the operation is aborted:
    • Power driver seat control switch
    • Memory set switch
    • Power adjustable pedal switch
    • Power adjustable steering column switch (power tilt switch only, telescopic switch does not apply, if equipped)

Recalling a Stored Memory Seat Position

NOTE: A memory recall can be initiated only if the vehicle is in PARK or NEUTRAL gear 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 or NEUTRAL.

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.

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 RKE transmitter can be used to recall previously set memory positions but must first be associated to that memory position. The transmitter associated with personality 1 is capable of recalling memory position 1 only. Similarly, the associated personality 2 transmitter can recall only memory position 2. Up to 8 RKE transmitters can be associated for memory position recall.

Memory recall occurs when the unlock switch is depressed on the RKE transmitter if it has been associated with a memory position. The second depression of the unlock switch, which unlocks passenger doors, does not initiate a memory recall.

A RKE transmitter can be associated with a memory seat position by pressing a RKE button within 5 seconds after pressing the memory set switch button (when setting a memory seat position). Refer to the Owner's Literature for additional information on using RKE transmitters.

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

Easy Entry/Exit Feature

The easy entry/exit feature moves the seat backwards about 2 inches when 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 disabled. 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 operation. 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. Easy entry operation will be cancelled if a valid input command is received by the DSM.

The easy entry/exit feature can be disabled and enabled by selecting easy entry on the message center display with the setup control button and pressing the reset control to select on or off from the display menu. Refer to driver controls in the Owner's Literature for additional instructions for using the message center.

Climate Controlled Seat System

NOTE: When installing a new climate control 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 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) in 15 second durations. The system receives power from battery junction box (BJB) fuse 8 (40A) feeding battery voltage into 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 electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module activate each seat system setting and illuminate LEDs above each switch to indicate the operating mode. Navigator uses 3 LEDs for HIGH, 2 LEDs for MED and 1 LED for LOW. Expedition uses 2 LEDs for HIGH and 1 LED for LOW.

Each driver and front passenger seat cushion and backrest is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED) and blower motor assembly. Applying voltage polarity to the TED in one direction, causes it to heat. Applying voltage polarity in the opposite direction causes the TED to cool. 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 incoming air depending on the control switch settings. 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 activated, the CCSM maintains the heating/cooling modes until deactivated.

CAUTION: Avoid applying power directly to a TED for testing its operation. Doing so may cause damage to the TED.

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 (Navigator). 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 on or off 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. 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 inlet air temperature as it passes over the TED.
  • The system control settings are based on the LEDs above each seat heat switch button on the EATC (3 for Navigator or 2 for Expedition).
  • In the LOW setting, the climate controlled seat module is set to maintain TED temperature at approximately 46°C (115°F).
  • In the HIGH setting, the climate controlled seat module is set to maintain TED temperature at 65°C (149°F).
  • 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 (closed loop operation). Refer to the following table for heating mode temperatures.
Heating Mode TED Temperatures Initial Temperature Final Temperature
HIGH 90°C (194°F) 65°C (149°F)
MED (Navigator only) 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.
  • In COOL mode, the TED can remove up to 8°C (14°F) from the ambient air temperature entering the system.
  • The system control settings are based on the LEDs above each seat cool switch button on the EATC (3 for Navigator or 2 for Expedition).
  • When cooling, the CCSM maintains constant speed of the fans and constant TED supply voltage (duty cycle) in open loop COOL mode (refer to the following table).
Cooling Mode TED Duty Cycles TED Voltage TED Supply Duty Cycle
HIGH Vbat 100%
MED (Navigator only) 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 60°C (108°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 sunload. 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 temperature differential fault twice during the same ignition cycle, it will shut down. When a fault causes a shut-down the climate controlled seat indicators will turn off and that seat will not be operational until the next key cycle.

Third Row Power-Fold Seat

CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the third row seat or the safety belts, make sure that the safety belts are not fastened when moving the seat to the load floor position.

CAUTION: Make sure that no objects such as books, purses or briefcases are on the floor in front of the third row seats or on the seat cushion before lowering the backrest(s).

For the third row power-fold seat to operate, a shared voltage is supplied by the smart power distribution junction box (SPDJB) to both of the power-fold seat relays, enabling the seats to then be moved by pressing one of the third row power-fold seat switches. The third row power-fold seat operates only when the vehicle is in PARK and the liftgate glass, liftgate door or any entry door must be open.

The third row power-fold seat motors transfer movement to a drive gear assembly to raise and lower the seat backrest. The power-fold seat motors rotate a short torque shaft which is connected to the drive gear assembly. The power-fold seat motor and bracket assembly is serviceable separately. Refer to Power-Fold Seat Motor in this section.

Pinpoint Tests

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

Refer to Inspection and Verification, the Driver Seat Module (DSM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart, Climate Controlled Seat Module (CCSM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart, Smart Power Distribution Junction Box (SPDJB) 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 SBB45 (GY/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD143 (BK/VT). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies that voltage and ground to a power seat track motor or power recline 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 recline 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 recline 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.

Possible Causes

An inoperative driver power seat can be caused by:

  • a fuse.
  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • a faulty seat control switch.

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 SBB29 (GY/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD138 (BK/WH). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies that voltage and ground to a power seat track motor or power recline 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 recline 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 recline 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 with the backrest frame.

Possible Causes

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

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

PINPOINT TEST J: THE POWER SEAT DOES NOT MOVE HORIZONTALLY/VERTICALLY/RECLINE — PASSENGER

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

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 mechanism uses a single motor to move the seat backrest forward and rearward.

Battery voltage is also supplied to DSM on circuit SBP02 (YE/RD) and SBB45 (GY/RD). Ground is supplied to the DSM on circuits GD133 (BK) and GD143 (BK/VT).

Each motor, in the memory power seat track and power recliner mechanism contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM supplies a shared signal feed circuit to each position sensor. Each position sensor sends a signal pulse 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 additional 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 messages):
    • ignition switch status.
    • gear selector position.
  • a faulty power seat track.
  • a faulty power recliner motor.
  • a faulty DSM.

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

NOTE: The air bag warning lamp 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 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

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 mechanism uses a single motor to move the seat backrest forward and rearward.

Battery voltage is also supplied to DSM on circuit SBP02 (YE/RD) and SBB45 (GY/RD). Ground is supplied to the DSM on circuits GD133 (BK) and GD143 (BK/VT).

Each motor, in the memory power seat track and power recliner mechanism contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM supplies a shared signal feed circuit to each position sensor. Each position sensor sends a signal pulse 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 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 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 messages):
    • ignition switch status.
    • gear selector position.
  • a faulty remote entry transmitter.
  • a faulty memory power seat track.
  • a faulty recliner mechanism.
  • a faulty DSM.

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

NOTE: The air bag warning lamp 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 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 Q: 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 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 8 (40A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB08 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3265a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3265a 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 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 SPDJB 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.

Possible Causes

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

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.
  • an MS-CAN fault.
  • a faulted electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module.
  • a faulted CCSM.

PINPOINT TEST Q: A SINGLE CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEAT IS INOPERATIVE/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

NOTE: The air bag warning lamp 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 SRS fault.

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

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

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

Normal Operation

Battery voltage is supplied from the battery junction box (BJB) to the switch side of left third row power-fold seat relay through circuit SBB04 (GN/RD) and is hot at all times. When the smart power distribution junction box (SPDJB) energizes the left power-fold seat relay circuit CPS48 (BU), battery voltage is switched through the relay to the left power-fold seat control switch on circuit SBB31 (WH/RD). Ground is supplied to the left power-fold seat control switch through circuit GD151 (BK/GN). When the left third row power-fold seat control switch is pressed, battery voltage and ground is supplied to the left power-fold seat motor. Pressing the switch in the opposite direction, reverses the polarity to the left power-fold seat motor, which moves the third row seat backrest in the opposite direction.

Pinpoint Test U: 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 8 (40A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB08 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3265a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3265a 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 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 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 V: DTC B103C — Thermoelectric Driver Open Load

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 8 (40A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB08 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3265a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3265a 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 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 EATC seat switch settings.

Possible Causes

A TED driver open load fault can be caused by:

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

PINPOINT TEST V: DTC B103C — THERMOELECTRIC DRIVER OPEN LOAD

NOTE: The air bag warning lamp 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 SRS fault.

Pinpoint Test Y: DTC B111C — Passenger Thermoelectric Driver Open Load

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 8 (40A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB08 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3265a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3265a 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 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 EATC seat switch settings.

Possible Causes

A TED driver open load fault can be caused by:

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

PINPOINT TEST Y: DTC B111C — PASSENGER THERMOELECTRIC DRIVER OPEN LOAD

NOTE: The air bag warning lamp 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 SRS fault.

Pinpoint Test AB: 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 8 (40A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB08 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3265a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3265a 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 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 EATC seat switch settings.

Possible Causes

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

  • wiring, terminals or connectors.

Pinpoint Test AC: DTC B272B — Passenger Back 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 8 (40A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB08 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3265a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3265a 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 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 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.
  • a faulted backrest TED assembly.
  • a faulted CCSM.

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.

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 60°C (108°F) or greater. This can result from an airflow restriction or a circuit fault at 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 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 AD: DTC B272C — DRIVER DIFFERENTIAL TEMPERATURE FAULT

NOTE: The air bag warning lamp 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 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
AD1 CHECK THE CCSM FOR ON-DEMAND 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 during the on-demand self test or as a continuous DTC?
Yes
For DTC B2729, Go To Pinpoint Test AA. For DTC B2730, Go To Pinpoint Test AF.

No
GO to AD2.
AD2 MONITOR THE CCSM TED TEMPERATURE PIDs
  • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Datalogger/CCSM PIDs:.
    • Passenger Cushion Thermal Electric Device (TED) Temperature
    • Passenger Back Thermal Electric Device (TED) Temperature
    • Cushion Thermal Electric Device (TED) Temperature
    • Back Thermal Electric Device (TED) Temperature
  • 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 PID values 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 value readings.
  • Are both driver seat TED temperature PID values within 10°C (18°F) of the ambient temperature?
Yes
GO to AD3.

No
If the driver seat cushion PID value varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, GO to AD16 .

If the driver seat backrest PID value varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, GO to AD31 .
AD3 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.
  • After cycling the ignition switch and with the engine running, set the driver seat to HIGH HEAT. Allow the seat to heat for at least 15 minutes while monitoring the TED temperature PIDs of the driver seat.
  • Do the driver seat cushion or backrest PID values vary more than 60°C (108°F)?
Yes
If the driver seat cushion PID value is 60°C (108°F) hotter than the backrest PID value, GO to AD5.

If the driver seat backrest PID value is 60°C (108°F) hotter than the cushion PID value, GO to AD20.

No
GO to AD4.
AD4 CHECK THE TEDS COOLING PERFORMANCE
  • Check the TEDs cooling performance on the affected 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, plenum, air ducts and foam pad). CHECK for airflow restrictions (TED inlets and outlets, TED-to-manifold or plenum connections, filters and ducts) and REPAIR as needed. CHECK for an intermittent wiring fault. REPAIR as needed.

Pinpoint Test AE: 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 8 (40A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB08 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3265a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3265a 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 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 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 60°C (108°F) or greater. This can result from an airflow restriction or a circuit fault at 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 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 AE: DTC B272D — PASSENGER DIFFERENTIAL TEMPERATURE FAULT

NOTE: The air bag warning lamp 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 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
AE1 CHECK THE CCSM FOR ON-DEMAND 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 during the on-demand self test or as a continuous DTC?
Yes
For DTC B272A, Go To Pinpoint Test AB. For DTC B272B, Go To Pinpoint Test AC.

No
GO to AE2.
AE2 MONITOR THE CCSM TED TEMPERATURE PIDs
  • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Datalogger/CCSM PIDs:.
    • Passenger Cushion Thermal Electric Device (TED) Temperature
    • Passenger Back Thermal Electric Device (TED) Temperature
    • Cushion Thermal Electric Device (TED) Temperature
    • Back Thermal Electric Device (TED) Temperature
  • 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 PID values 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 value readings.
  • Are both front passenger seat TED temperature PID values within 10°C (18°F) of the ambient temperature?
Yes
GO to AE3.

No
If the front passenger seat cushion PID value varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, GO to AE16 .

If the front passenger seat backrest PID value varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, GO to AE31 .
AE3 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.
  • After cycling the ignition switch and with the engine running, set the driver seat to HIGH HEAT. Allow the seat to heat for at least 15 minutes while monitoring the TED temperature PIDs of the driver seat.
  • Do the front passenger seat cushion or backrest PID values vary more than 60°C (108°F)?
Yes
If the front passenger seat cushion PID value is 60°C (108°F) hotter than the backrest PID value, GO to AE5.

If the front passenger seat backrest PID value is 60°C (108°F) hotter than the cushion PID value, GO to AE20.

No
GO to AE4.
AE4 CHECK THE TEDS COOLING PERFORMANCE
  • Check the TEDs cooling performance on the affected seat. Refer to Component Test — Thermo-Electric Device (TED) Cooling Performance.
  • 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, plenum, air ducts and foam pad). CHECK for airflow restrictions (TED inlets and outlets, TED-to-manifold or plenum 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 AF: 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 8 (40A) feeding battery voltage on circuit SBB08 (VT/RD) into CCSM C3265a pins E and F. If power is disconnected from either pin E or F of CCSM C3265a 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 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 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.
  • a faulted backrest TED assembly.
  • a faulted CCSM.

PINPOINT TEST AF: DTC B2730 — BACK OVER-TEMP DETECTED (DRIVER)

NOTE: The air bag warning lamp 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 SRS fault.

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

NOTE: For correct temperature measurements, the seat being tested should be occupied.

  1. Enter Datalogger and monitor the following CCSM PIDs:
    • CSHTEMP (Cushion Thermal Electric Device [TED] (Temperature)
    • BK_TEMP (Back Thermal Electric Device [TED] Temperature)
    • PCSHTMP (Passenger Cushion Thermal Electric Device [TED] Temperature)
    • PBKTMP (Passenger Back Thermal Electric Device [TED] Temperature)
    • DCCSMOD (Driver Climate Controlled System State)
    • PCCSMOD (Passenger Climate Controlled System State)
  2. Any initial PID value of greater than 205°C (401°F) or less than 2°C (36°F) indicates a system hardware failure. Do not proceed with this test. GO to Symptom Chart or CCSM DTC Chart for diagnosis.
  3. Gain access to the seat cushion and backrest TEDs and use a suitable thermo-couple temperature measuring device to monitor the air inlet temperature.
    • Release the J-clip at the backrest bottom and unzip the 2 zippers at the backrest side edges.
    • Place the temperature probe near each TEDs air filter.
    Step 3: Gain access to the seat cushion and backrest 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.
      • Secure the temperature probe at the cushion TED air filter before measuring.
  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. The temperature difference should be between 6 and 8 degrees.
  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.
