DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| B1153:4B | Driver Seat Cushion: Over Temperature | Sets when the SCME senses the left front cushion temperature has exceeded 110 deg.C (230 deg.F) for more than 4 seconds. When this DTC sets, the SCME disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |
| B1156:01 | Driver Seat: General Electrical Failure | Sets when the SCME senses the left front heater element current draw has exceeded a specified threshold. When this DTC sets, the SCME disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |
| B1156:11 | Driver Seat: Circuit Short To Ground | Sets when the SCME senses the left front heater element current draw has exceeded a specified threshold. When this DTC sets, the SCME disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |
| B1156:12 | Driver Seat: Circuit Short To Battery | Sets when the SCME senses the left front heater circuit voltage is above a specified threshold when the driver is active. When this DTC sets, the SCME disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |
| B1156:13 | Driver Seat: Circuit Open | Sets when the SCME senses the left front heater element current draw is less than a specified threshold. When this DTC sets, the SCME disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |
| B1156:1A | Driver Seat: Circuit Resistance Below Threshold | Sets when the SCME senses the left front heater element current draw is more than a specified threshold. When this DTC sets, the SCME disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |
| B1208:01 | Driver Seat Cushion Temperature Sensor: General Electrical Failure | Sets when the SCME senses the left front heater sensor voltage is out-of-range low or high. When this DTC sets, the SCME disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |
| B1208:11 | Driver Seat Cushion Temperature Sensor: Circuit Short To Ground | Sets when the SCME senses the left front heater sensor voltage is out-of-range low. When this DTC sets, the SCME disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |
| B1208:15 | Driver Seat Cushion Temperature Sensor: Circuit Short To Battery or Open | Sets when the SCME senses the left front heater sensor voltage is out-of-range high. When this DTC sets, the SCME disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |
