Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Buick Cascada, 2018 Buick Cascada, and 2017 Buick Cascada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate seat cushion heating element listed below. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- E14B Seat Heating Element - Driver Cushion
- E14D Seat Heating Element - Passenger Cushion
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K29F Seat Heating Control Module - Front.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- I less than 2 Ω, replace the K29F Seat Heating Control Module - Front.
- Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω
- Ignition ON.
- Test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If less than 4.8 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K29F Seat Heating Control Module - Front.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K29F Seat Heating Control Module - Front.
- If greater than 5.2 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K29F Seat Heating Control Module - Front, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K29F Seat Heating Control Module - Front.
- Go to next step: If between 4.8 - 5.2 V
- Test or replace the E14 Seat Heating Element - Cushion.
