Pinpoint Test AJ : DTC B2729: Notes
Refer to Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The SCME monitors seat cushion temperature while it supplies voltage and ground to both blower motors. The SCME also supplies a variable voltage signal to control the blower speed. Cabin air enters the blower through a filter integrated to the blower motor housing. Heated or cooled air exits the blower motor and flows through the foam pad.
