Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Testing
B2425 0B, B2425 0D, or B2425 0E
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E14A Seat Heating Element - Driver Back.
- Test for 0.5 - 2 Ω between control circuit terminal 1 and control circuit terminal 2.
- If not between 0.5 - 2 Ω
Replace the E14A Seat Heating Element - Driver Back.
- Go to next step: If between 0.5 - 2 Ω
- If not between 0.5 - 2 Ω
- Connect the harness connector at the E14A Seat Heating Element - Driver Back and disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K29F Seat Heating Control Module - Front.
- Test for 1 - 5 Ω between control circuit terminal 3 and control circuit terminal 1.
- If less than 1 Ω
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E14B Seat Heating Element - Driver Cushion.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuits.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short between the circuits.
- If infinite resistance, test or replace the E14B Seat Heating Element - Driver Cushion.
- If greater than 5 Ω
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E14B Seat Heating Element - Driver Cushion.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in each control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, test or replace the E14B Seat Heating Element - Driver Cushion.
- Go to next step: If between 1 - 5 Ω
- Replace the K29F Seat Heating Control Module - Front.
Element resistance must be measured twice to ensure that all failure conditions are simulated. First with the seat unoccupied, then with the seat occupied.

B2430 0B, B2430 0D, or B2430 0E
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E14C Seat Heating Element - Passenger Back.
- Test for 0.5 - 2 Ω between control circuit terminal 1 and control circuit terminal 2.
- If not between 0.5 - 2 Ω
Replace the E14C Seat Heating Element - Passenger Back.
- Go to next step: If between 0.5 - 2 Ω
- If not between 0.5 - 2 Ω
- Connect the harness connector at the E14C Seat Heating Element - Passenger Back and disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K29F Seat Heating Control Module - Front.
- Test for 1 - 5 Ω between control circuit terminal 5 and control circuit terminal 2.
- If less than 1 Ω
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E14D Seat Heating Element - Passenger Cushion.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuits.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short between the circuits.
- If infinite resistance, test or replace the E14D Seat Heating Element - Passenger Cushion.
- If greater than 5 Ω
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E14D Seat Heating Element - Passenger Cushion.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in each control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

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.
