Pinpoint Test Ad: DTC B272C - Driver Differential Temperature Fault

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. AD1 CHECK THE DCSM FOR ON-DEMAND DTCS 
    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.
    NOTE: If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.  Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
    NOTE: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
    NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
    • Key in OFF position.
      • WARNING: Be sure that nobody is in the vehicle and that there is nothing blocking or set in front of any air bag module when the battery ground cable is connected.
    • For vehicles with seat side air bags, carry out the following:
      • Depower the SRS. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
      • Disconnect the driver seat side air bag module C327.
      • Connect restraint system diagnostic tool 418-133 to driver seat side air bag module C327.
      • Disconnect the passenger seat side air bag module C313.
      • Connect restraint system diagnostic tool 418-133 to passenger seat side air bag module C313.
      • Connect the battery ground cable.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: On-Demand Self Test.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Retrieve Continuous DTCs.
    • Was DTC B2729 or B2730 retrieved during the on-demand self test or as a continuous DTC? 

    Yes  : For DTC B2729, GO to PINPOINT TEST AA .

    For DTC B2730, GO to PINPOINT TEST AF .

    No  : GO to AD2.

  2. AD2 MONITOR THE DCSM TED TEMPERATURE PIDS 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Monitor DCSM TED Temperature PIDs.
      • CAUTION: Make sure the temperature of the climate controlled seats has stabilized before monitoring the PIDs.
    • Monitor the TED temperature PIDs with the climate controlled seats OFF. Compare the PIDs of the driver seat to those of the front passenger seat, this can help identify if there is a concern with the driver seat cushion or backrest PID readings.
    • Are both driver seat TED temperature PIDs within 10°C (18°F) of the ambient temperature? 

    Yes  : GO to AD3.

    No  : If the driver seat cushion PID varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature go to  AD15.

    If the driver seat backrest PID varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature go to  AD31.

  3. AD3 CONFIRM THE FAULT IS IN THE SEAT CUSHION OR THE BACKREST 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Key in ON position.
      • NOTE: A crushed seat cushion foam pad or a crushed climate controlled seat manifold may be the cause of the fault. It may be necessary to sit on the seat or place something of reasonable size and weight on the seat to recreate the fault.
      NOTE: If the seat shuts down before a 15 minute HEAT cycle has timed-out, carry out the DCSM on-demand self test and go to the DUAL CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEAT MODULE (DCSM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) TABLE  to continue diagnostics.
    • After cycling the ignition switch and with the engine running, set the driver seat to HIGH HEAT (3 LEDs illuminated on EATC module). Allow the seat to heat for at least 15 minutes while monitoring the TED temperature PIDs of the driver seat. If necessary, when the seat times-out after 15 minutes, set the driver seat to HIGH HEAT once again.
    • Do the driver seat cushion or backrest PIDs vary more than 10°C(18°F)? 

    Yes  : If the driver seat cushion PID is 10°C (18°F) hotter than the backrest PID, GO to AD4.

    If the driver seat backrest PID is 10°C (18°F) hotter than the cushion PID, GO to  AD19.
