Circuit/System Testing: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
B2345 00
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1, X4 harness connectors at the MSM.
- Test for infinite resistance between the driver seat heating element supply voltage circuit terminal 14 X1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit and the seat cushion and seat back heating element control circuits for a short to ground.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the supply voltage circuit terminal 14 X1 and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the supply voltage circuit and the seat cushion and seat back heating element control circuits for a short to voltage.
- Test for infinite resistance between the passenger seat heating element supply voltage circuit terminal 6 X1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit and the seat cushion and seat back heating element control circuits for a short to ground.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the supply voltage circuit terminal 6 X1 and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the supply voltage circuit and the seat cushion and seat back heating element control circuits for a short to voltage.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the MSM.

- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2, X5 harness connectors at the MSM.
- Test for greater than 850 ohms between the following seat cushion temperature sensor signal circuits and the low reference circuits:
- Driver seat cushion terminal 1 X5 and terminal 3 X2
- Passenger seat cushion terminal 2 X5 and terminal 6 X2
- If less than the specified value, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the affected seat cushion heater element.
- Test for greater than 850 ohms between the following seat back temperature sensor signal circuits and the low reference circuits:
- Driver seat back terminal 4 X5 and terminal 2 X2
- Passenger seat back terminal 3 X5 and terminal 5 X2
- If less than the specified value, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the affected seat back heater element.
- If the circuits test normal replace the MSM.
