Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the MSM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, connect the X3 harness connector at the MSM and disconnect the X1 harness connector at the MSM.
- Test for 2.0-8.0 ohms between control circuit terminal 14 and control circuit terminal 11.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuits for 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 control circuits. 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 signal circuit terminal 1 X5 and the low reference circuit terminal 3 X2.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal and low reference circuits for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
- 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/temperature sensor.
- Connect the X1, X2, X5 harness connectors at the MSM.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 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 ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the MSM.
IMPORTANT:
When measuring the resistance, the resistance values are based on the seat being at room temperature of 20°C (68°F).

- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the MSM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, connect the X3 harness connector at the MSM and disconnect the X1, X4 harness connectors at the MSM.
- Test for 2.0-8.0 ohms between control circuit terminal 6 X1 and control circuit terminal 14 X4.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuits for 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 control circuits. 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 signal circuit terminal 2 X5 and the low reference circuit terminal 6 X2.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal and low reference circuits for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
- 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/temperature sensor.
