2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Base, 4.8 CSECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

B2425 0A, B2425 0B, B2425 0C, B2425 0D, B2425 0E, B2425 04, or B2425 1F

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the RHSM.
    2. IMPORTANT: When measuring the resistance, the resistance values are based on the seat being at room temperature of 20°C (68°F).
  2. Test for 2.5-8.5 ohms between control circuit terminal 3 and control circuit terminal 5.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the seat cushion heater element.
    • If less than the specified range, test for a short between the control circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element.
  3. Disconnect the X2, X4 harness connectors at the RHSM.
  4. Test for 850-300K ohms between the signal circuit terminal 9 X4 and the low reference circuit terminal 6 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, replace the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
    • If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
  5. Connect the X1, X2, X4 harness connectors at the RHSM.
  6. Disconnect the harness connector at the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
  7. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RHSM.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RHSM.
  8. If all circuits test normal, replace the RHSM.

B2430 0A, B2430 0B, B2430 0C, B2430 0D, B2430 0E, B2430 04, or B2430 1F

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the RHSM.
    2. IMPORTANT: When measuring the resistance, the resistance values are based on the seat being at room temperature of 20°C (68°F).
  2. Test for 3.5-11.5 ohms between control circuit terminal 6 and control circuit terminal 2.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element.
    • If less than the specified range, test for a short between the control circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element.
  3. Disconnect the X2, X4 harness connectors at the RHSM.
  4. Test for 850-300K ohms between the signal circuit terminal 20 X4 and the low reference circuit terminal 8 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, replace the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
    • If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
  5. Connect the X1, X2, X4 harness connectors at the RHSM.
  6. Disconnect the harness connector at the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
  7. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RHSM.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RHSM.
  8. If all circuits test normal, replace the RHSM.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
