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.
Driver and Passenger Heated/Cool Seats Inoperative
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C1 harness connector at the CCSM.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal M and ground.
- If greater than 5 ohms, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal E 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, disconnect the C2 harness connector at the CCSM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the CCSM.
Driver Heated/Cooled Seat Inoperative
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C3 harness connector at the CCSM.
- Connect a test lamp between the signal circuit terminal 14 and B+.
- Ignition ON, press the HEAT or COOL switch through the high, medium, and low positions to OFF. The test lamp should illuminate until the OFF position is reached.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module.
- If the test lamp is ON with the switch in the OFF position, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module.
- Ignition OFF, connect the C3 harness connector at the CCSM.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat cushion ventilation heat and cool module.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuits listed below and ground, while commanding the related Driver Seat Heat Cmd. and the Driver Seat Cool Cmd. ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- Seat cushion heat control circuit terminal 1
- Seat cushion cool control circuit terminal 3
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the seat cushion ventilation heat and cool module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat back ventilation heat and cool module.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuits listed below and ground, while commanding the related Driver Seat Heat Cmd. and the Driver Seat Cool Cmd. ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- Seat back heat control circuit terminal 1
- Seat back cool control circuit terminal 3
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
Passenger Heated/Cooled Seat Inoperative

- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module.
- If the test lamp is ON with the switch in the OFF position, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the memory seat module.
- Ignition OFF, connect the C3 harness connector at the CCSM.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat cushion ventilation heat and cool module.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuits listed below and ground, while commanding the related Driver Seat Heat Cmd. and the Driver Seat Cool Cmd. ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- Seat cushion heat control circuit terminal 1
- Seat cushion cool control circuit terminal 3
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the seat cushion ventilation heat and cool module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat back ventilation heat and cool module.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuits listed below and ground, while commanding the related Driver Seat Heat Cmd. and the Driver Seat Cool Cmd. ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- Seat back heat control circuit terminal 1
- Seat back cool control circuit terminal 3
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the climate control seat module.
