Circuit/System Testing
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.
B2425
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the MSM.
- Test for less than 15 ohms between the heater element supply voltage circuit terminal 14 and the control circuit terminal 11.
- If the resistance is greater than 15 ohms test the supply and control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the seat cushion heater element.
- Disconnect the X2, X5 harness connectors at the MSM.
- Test for 850-300k ohms between the temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 1 X5 and the low reference circuit terminal 3 X2.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit and low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element.
- If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element.
- Connect the X1, X2, X5 harness connectors at the MSM.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat cushion heater element.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the temperature sensor signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the MSM.
B2430 Front
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1, X4 harness connector at the MSM.
- Test for less than 15 ohms between the heater element supply voltage circuit terminal 6 X1 and the control circuit terminal 14 X4.
- If the resistance is greater than 15 ohms test the supply and control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the seat cushion heater element.
- Disconnect the X2, X5 harness connectors at the MSM.
- Test for 850-300k ohms between the temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 2 X5 and the low reference circuit terminal 6 X2.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit and low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element.
- If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element.
- Connect the X1, X2, X4, X5 harness connectors at the MSM.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat cushion heater element.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the temperature sensor signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the MSM.
