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.
B2435 Left Rear Seat Back
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the (C2, C4) harness connectors at the rear heated seat module.
- Test for 1.4K-300K ohms of resistance between the seat back temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 19 (C4) and the low reference circuit terminal 5 (C2).
- 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 back 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 back temperature sensor.
- Ignition OFF, connect the (C2, C4) harness connectors to the rear heated seat module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat back heating element/temperature sensor.
- 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 rear heated seat module.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear heated seat module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the rear heated seat module.
B2440 Right Rear Seat Back
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the (C2, C4) harness connectors at the rear heated seat module.
- Test for 1.4K-300K ohms of resistance between the seat back temperature sensor signal circuit terminal 10 (C4) and the low reference circuit terminal 7 (C2).
- 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 back 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 back temperature sensor.
- Ignition OFF, connect the (C2, C4) harness connectors to the rear heated seat module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat back heating element/temperature sensor.
- 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 rear heated seat module.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear heated seat module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the rear heated seat module.
