No GO to T12

T12 CHECK THE SCME (FRONT SEAT CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect all of the DSM 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 DSM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

NOTE: Do not reconnect Driver Side Airbag In-Line C3368 at this time.

Reconnect all previously disconnected connectors.

Ignition ON.

Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new DSM. REFER to: Driver Front Seat Module (DSM) . GO to T13

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 T13

- 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.
- Connect: Driver Side Airbag In-line C3368.
- Connect all previously disconnected connectors.
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Cycle the ignition OFF then ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform RCM self-test.
Are any RCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved during self-test?

Yes REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) .
