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

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. 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.
NOTE: A condition may exist where one or both climate controlled seats turn OFF shortly after initialization with DTC B2729 (Cushion Over-Temp Detected) and/or DTC B2731 (Differential Temperature Fault) being present in the climate controlled seat module (CCSM). If this condition is present, check for airflow restrictions due to seat cushion crush or seat cushion duct damage. A cushion duct modification may be required. Proceed with the diagnostic procedure and repair as needed. For additional information, refer to FRONT SEAT CUSHION - DRIVER,  or Front Seat Cushion - Passenger.
  1. V1 CHECK THE SEAT CUSHION TED EXHAUST NOZZLE FOR WASTE AIRFLOW 
    WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
