2009 Jeep Compass Sport, 2.4 B, ED3, FWD, StandardSECTION Diagnostic Test
  1. CHECK FOR CHARGING SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs) 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) DTCs.

      Are there any Charging System DTC's set in the ECM/PCM?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  2
  2. VERIFY DTC B2181-HEATED SEAT MODULE POWER SUPPLY LOW IS ACTIVE 
    1. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
    2. Turn the ignition off.
    3. Start the engine and let it run for one minute.
    4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Is DTC B2181-HEATED SEAT MODULE POWER SUPPLY LOW active?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

      • The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Verify seat harness is routed correctly to the HSM. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Attempt to reproduce condition by adjusting the seat.
      • Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
