- Operate the Heated Seat Switch in both positions several times.
- With the scan tool, read DTC's.
Does the DTC B1092-FRONT LEFT SEAT HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW reset?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- DISCONNECT LEFT CUSHION HEATER 2-WAY CONNECTOR AND READ DTC'S
- Disconnect the Left Seat Cushion Heater 2- way connector.NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
- With the scan tool, erase DTC's
- Operate the Heated Seat Switch in both positions several times.
- With the scan tool, read DTC's.
Does the scan tool display the same DTC?
Yes
- Go to step 5
No
- Go to step 3
- Disconnect the Left Seat Cushion Heater 2- way connector.
- CHECK THE (P187) LEFT SEAT HEATER B(+) DRIVER FOR A SHORT TO GROUND AT THE SEAT
- Measure between the (P187) Left Seat Heater B(+) Driver circuit at the Left Seat Heater connector (component side) and the seat frame for a short to ground.
Is the resistance below 1000 ohms?
No
- Go to step 4
Yes
- Repair/replace the pigtail/heating element as necessary for a short to ground condition.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- Measure between the (P187) Left Seat Heater B(+) Driver circuit at the Left Seat Heater connector (component side) and the seat frame for a short to ground.
- CHECK THE LEFT HEATER ELEMENT SEAT CUSHION AND SEAT BACK RESISTANCE
- Gain access to the seat cushion and seat back heater connectors.
- Check the resistance of each of the heater elements by measuring between the (P187) Left Seat Heater B(+) Driver and the Ground circuit at the seat cushion and seat back heater connectors.
- For the seat cushion element the resistance value is 3 to 5.5 ohms.
- For the seat back element the resistance value is 4 to 6 ohms.
Is the resistance correct for each heater element?
Yes
- Using the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for an intermittent short to ground.
No
- Replace the heater element as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- CHECK THE (P187) LEFT SEAT HEATER B(+) DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ensure the Left Seat Cushion Heater 2- way connector is still disconnected.
- Disconnect the Heated Seat Module connector.NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
- Measure the (P187) Left Seat Heater B(+) Driver circuit cavity D for (LHD) or K for (RHD) at the HSM connector to ground.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (P187) Left Seat Heater B(+) Driver circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Replace the Heated Seat Module in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
