      Are there any Charging System DTCs set in the 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.

      Does DTC B2181-HEATED SEAT MODULE POWER SUPPLY LOW reset?

      • Go to step  3

      No 

      • The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Verify that the seat harness is routed correctly to the HSM. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension. Attempt to reproduce condition by adjusting the seat.
