Pinpoint Test AQ: DTC B272D
- AQ1 CHECK THE DCSM FOR DTCs
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - DCSM.
- Was DTC B272A or B272B retrieved?
- Yes : For DTC B272A, GO to PINPOINT TEST AN . For DTC B272B, GO to PINPOINT TEST AO .
- No : GO to AQ2.
- AQ2 MONITOR THE DCSM TED TEMPERATURE PIDs
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - DCSM.
- Passenger cushion TED temperature (PCSHTMP)
- Passenger back TED temperature (PBKTMP)
- Seat cushion TED temperature (CSHTEMP)
- Seat back TED temperature (BK_TEMP)
-
NOTE: Make sure the temperature of the climate controlled seats has stabilized before monitoring the PIDs. Not allowing stabilization can cause incorrect readings and lead to incorrect identification of components that are not faulty.
Monitor the TED temperature PIDs with the climate controlled seats OFF. Compare the PIDs of the front passenger seat to those of the driver seat, this can help identify if there is a concern with the front passenger seat cushion or backrest PID readings.
- Are both front passenger seat TED temperature PIDs within 10°C (18°F) of the ambient temperature?
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - DCSM.
- AQ3 CONFIRM THE FAULT IS IN THE SEAT CUSHION OR BACKREST
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
-
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.
After cycling the ignition and with the engine running, set the passenger seat to high heat. Allow the seat to heat for at least 15 minutes while monitoring the TED temperature PIDs of the passenger seat.
- Do the passenger seat cushion TED and backrest TED PIDs vary more than 60°C (108°F) from each other?
- AQ4 CHECK THE TEDs COOLING PERFORMANCE
- Check TEDs cooling performance on the affected seat. Refer to COMPONENT TEST - THERMO-ELECTRIC DEVICE (TED) COOLING PERFORMANCE .
- Did the TEDs pass the component test?
- Yes : The DTC may have been set by extreme cabin temperatures or excessive sunload on the seat causing the system to enter recovery mode. Occupant size and weight characteristics can also be a factor. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation. If a concern cannot be found or duplicated, RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
- No : CHECK the affected seat cushion or backrest for correct installation of the climate controlled seat components (TED, manifold, plenum, air ducts and foam pad). CHECK for airflow restrictions (TED inlets and outlets, TED-to-manifold or plenum connections, filters and ducts) and REPAIR as needed. CHECK for an intermittent wiring fault. REPAIR as needed. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
