Pinpoint Test Ai : DTC B272F: Notes
Refer to Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The SCME supplies voltage and ground to the backrest and cushion blower motors. The blower motors are independently controlled by separate speed control circuits from the SCME.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| B272F | Passenger Ignition Run/Blower Circuit Short to Ground | If either the blower voltage supply or return circuits are open (to both cushion or backrest blowers) or shorted to voltage, the DTC is set and after 4-6 seconds the SCME disables outputs to the passenger seat. The DTC also sets if the blower voltage supply or return circuit is open to only one blower when SCME supply voltage is less than 12 volts. |
