1. Disconnect the Right Seat Cushion Heater 2 - way connector.
  NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
2. Measure the total resistance of the cushion and seat back heater elements at the Right Seat Cushion 2 - way connector (component side).
  Is the total resistance 2.5 to 3.5 ohms + or - 0.5 ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 4
  No
  - Go to step 3

1. Gain access to and disconnect the seat cushion and seat back heater connectors.
  NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
2. Measure each of the heater elements by measuring between the (P188) Right Seat Heater B(+) Driver and the Ground circuit at the seat cushion and seat back heater connectors.
3. For the seat cushion element the resistance value is 3 to 5.5 ohms.
4. For the seat back element the resistance value is 4 to 6 ohms.
  Is the resistance correct for each heater element?
  
  Yes
  - Check for an open in the pigtail harness and repair as necessary.
  - Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Replace the heater element as necessary.
  - Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .

2. Measure the (P188) Right Seat Heater B(+) Driver circuit cavity K for (LHD) or D for (RHD) from the HSM connector to the Right Seat Cushion Heater 2 - way connector (harness side).
  Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
  
  Yes
  - 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 .
  No
  - Repair the (P188) Right Seat Heater B(+) Driver circuit for an open.
  - Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
