Second Row Seat Heater Control Unit Input Test (2014 2015)
Before testing, check the No. B3-3 (60 A) fuse in the main under-hood fuse box.
1. Disconnect the 14P connector from the second row seat heater control unit .
2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:
- If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
- If the terminals look OK, go to step 3.
3. Reconnect the 14P connector to the control unit, and do the following input tests:
- If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 4.
| Cavity | Wire | Test condition | Test: Desired result | Possible cause if desired result is not obtained |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | PNK | Vehicle ON mode | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. |
|
| 9 | LT GRN | Vehicle ON mode | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. |
|
| 14 | BRN | In all power modes | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V. |
|
| 4 | BRN | In all power modes | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V. |
|
| 1 | RED | Vehicle ON mode, left second row seat heater switch pressed | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. |
|
| Cavity | Wire | Test condition | Test: Desired result | Possible cause if desired result is not obtained |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | LT BLU | Vehicle ON mode, right second row seat heater switch pressed | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. |
|
4. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
5. Disconnect the 14P connector from the control unit, and do the following input tests:
- If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it .
| Cavity | Wire | Test condition | Test: Desired result | Possible cause if desired result is not obtained |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | BLU | Under all conditions | Check for continuity between terminal 10 and climate control unit connector B (28P) terminal No. 10: There should be continuity. |
|
| 11 | PNK | Check for continuity between terminal 11 and climate control unit connector B (28P) terminal No. 9: There should be continuity. |
||
| 7 | PUR | Under all conditions | Check for continuity between terminals No. 7 and No. 13: There should be continuity. |
|
| 13 | WHT | |||
| 6 | GRN | Under all conditions | Check for continuity between terminals No. 6 and No. 12: There should be continuity. |
|
| 12 | BRN |
