Pinpoint Test
NOTE:
When taking measurements at DCSM harness connectors, do not insert the electrical probes into the female connector pins. Inserting the probes into connector pins can cause intermittent or open electrical connections after reassembly resulting in DTCs
and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.

WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.
Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Driver Seat Side Air Bag C3051.
- Disconnect: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag C339.
- Disconnect: DCSM C3265A.
- Disconnect: Driver Cushion TED C3035.
- Disconnect: Driver Backrest TED C3034.
- Measure:
DCSM Driver Cushion TED C3265A C3035 Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit G CHS02 (YE/BU) 1 CHS02 (YE/BU) H RHS02 (BU/OG) 3 RHS02 (BU/OG) DCSM Driver Backrest TED C3265A C3034 Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit J CHS01 (GY/VT) 1 CHS01 (GY/VT) K RHS01 (WH/VT) 3 RHS01 (WH/VT)
Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?
- Yes: GO to 2 .
- No: REPAIR the affected circuit. GO to 5 .
-
- CHECK THE TED CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
DCSM Ground C3265A Ground Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit G CHS02 (YE/BU) - Ground H RHS02 (BU/OG) - Ground J CHS01 (GY/VT) - Ground K RHS01 (WH/VT) - Ground
Is any voltage present on any circuits?
- Yes: REPAIR the affected circuit. GO to 5 .
- No: GO to 3 .
- CHECK THE RESISTANCE OF THE TEDs
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure:
Driver Backrest TED Driver Backrest TED C3034 Component Side C3034 Component Side Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 1 - 3 - Driver Cushion TED Driver Cushion TED C3035 Component Side C3035 Component Side Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 1 - 3 -
Are the resistances between 0.9 and 10 ohms?
- Yes: GO to 4 .
- No: If the resistance of the backrest TED was not between 0.9 and 10 ohms, INSTALL a new backrest TED. REFER to Seat Backrest Thermo-Electric Device (TED) . GO to 5.
If the resistance of the cushion TED was not between 0.9 and 10 ohms, INSTALL a new cushion TED. REFER to Seat Cushion Thermo-Electric Device (TED) . GO to 5.
- CHECK FOR CORRECT DCSM OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect all DCSM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins as necessary
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the DCSM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Connect: Driver Seat Backrest TED C3034.
- Connect: Driver Seat Cushion TED C3035.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes: CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new DCSM. REFER to Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) . GO to 5 .
- No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues. GO to 5 .
- CHECK FOR SRS DTCs
