2. Using a scan tool, record and erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
  NOTE:
  It is recommended to record any Environmental Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
3. Turn the ignition off.
4. Ignition on, engine running.
5. Turn the Vented Seat on and wait at least 12 seconds before proceeding.
6. With the scan tool, read Comfort Seat Wheel Module (CSWM) DTCs.

CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set the DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit. Wiggle the wiring and connectors while checking for shorted and open circuits. Attempt to reproduce the condition by adjusting the seat(s).
3. Check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension. Verify the seat wiring harness is routed correctly to the Comfort Seat Wheel Module (CSWM).
4. With the scan tool, check for any Environmental Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
5. Check Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply.
  Were there any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
