Circuit/System Testing

Driver and Passenger Heated/Cool Seats Inoperative

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the CCSM.
2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ground circuit terminal M and B+.
   • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal E and ground.
   • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
4. Disconnect the X2 harness connector at the CCSM.
5. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 1 and ground.
   • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the CCSM.

Driver Heated/Cool Seat Inoperative

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1, X2, X3 harness connectors at the CCSM.
2. Connect a test lamp between the signal circuit terminal 14 X3 and B+.
3. Ignition ON, press the HEAT or COOL seat switch through the high, medium, and low positions to OFF. The test lamp should illuminate until the OFF position is reached.
   • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
   • If the test lamp is ON with the switch in the OFF position, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
IMPORTANT: If the resistance is measured with the seat still warm or cool, the resistance values will vary. At 68°F, (20°C) the nominal resistance value is 1200 ohms ±5 percent. For warmer or cooler ambient temperatures, refer to the Temperature vs Resistance  table below. The delta resistance values between the seat cushion and seat back temperature sensors should not be greater than 2000 ohms.
4. Ignition OFF, test for 300-18K ohms between the signal and low reference circuits listed below:
   • Seat cushion temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 7 X2 and low reference circuit terminal 8 X2.
   • Seat back temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 9 X2 and low reference circuit terminal 10 X2.
   • If greater than the specified range, test the signal and low reference circuits for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate seat cushion or seat back heat/cool seat ventilation blower.
   • If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate seat cushion or seat back heat/cool seat ventilation blower.
IMPORTANT: The test leads must be connected in the correct polarity, otherwise lower out of range values will appear. Use the Positive Lead for the COOL control circuit and the Negative Lead for the HEAT control circuit. If the resistance is measured with the seat still warm or cool, the resistance values will vary even if the system was powered up for just a few seconds. The TED must be allowed to stabilize to room temperature prior to a measurement. The conditions listed below will change the resistance to out of range values:
• The test leads are incorrectly connected.
• Air blowing across the TED.
• Measuring the resistance at other than room temperature of 70°F (21°C).
• Holding the TED portion of the heat/cool seat ventilation blower in your hand.

In warmer or cooler climates where room temperature conditions of 70°F (21°C) may be unattainable, resistance values may read above the specified range. Use a heat gun or a blower to warm or cool the TED while measuring the resistance. The resistance values should slowly lower toward the specified range.
