Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
B1AA0 - Seat Cushion Temperature Sensor Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C2 harness connector at the climate control seat module.
- Test for 300 ohms-18K ohms of resistance between the signal circuit terminal 7 and the low reference circuit terminal 8.
- 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, test or replace the seat cushion ventilation heat and cool module.
- If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the seat cushion ventilation heat and cool module.
- Connect the C2 harness connector at the climate control seat module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat cushion ventilation heat and cool module.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the climate control seat module.
B1AA1, B2730 - Seat Back Temperature Sensor and Blower Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C2 harness connector at the climate control seat module.
- Test for 300 ohms-18K ohms of resistance between the signal circuit terminal 9 and the low reference circuit terminal 10.
- 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, test or replace the seat cushion ventilation heat and cool module.
- If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the seat cushion ventilation heat and cool module.
- Connect the C2 harness connector at the climate control seat module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat back ventilation heat and cool module.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- Connect a test lamp between the supply voltage circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- Ignition ON, command the Driver Seat Blower Cmd. ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 7 and ground.
- Ignition ON, command the Driver Seat Blower Cmd. ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the seat back ventilation heat and cool module.
