Pinpoint Test K: DTC B2729 - Cushion Over-Temp Detected/DTC B2730 - Back Over-Temp Detected/DTC B2731 -Differential Temperature Fault - Driver Seat

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The presence of over-temp faults (DTCs B2729 and B2730) can be induced by incorrect operation of the climate controlled seat system after an initial HEAT setting has been attained. If a HEAT setting is repeatedly turned OFF and ON in an attempt to increase the seat temperature, an over-temp condition can result and the DTC(s) will be set.
