Pinpoint Test AQ: DTC B272D - Passenger Differential Temperature Fault
- AQ1 CHECK THE CCSM FOR DTCS
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Climate Controlled Seat Module (CCSM) Self Test/Retrieve DTCs
- Was DTC B272A or B272B retrieved in the self-test as an on-demand or a continuous DTC?
- YES : For DTC B272A, go to Pinpoint Test AN . For DTC B272B, go to Pinpoint Test AO .
- NO : Go to AQ2.
- AQ2 MONITOR THE CCSM TED TEMPERATURE PIDS
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: DataLogger/PID: CCSM TED Temperature PIDs
- Monitor the TED temperature PIDs with the climate controlled seats off. Compare the PIDs of the front passenger seat to those of the driver seat, this can help identify if there is a concern with the front passenger seat cushion or backrest PID readings.
- Are both front passenger seat TED temperature PIDs within 10°C (18°F) of the ambient temperature?
CAUTION: Make sure the temperature of the climate controlled seats has stabilized before monitoring the PIDs. - AQ3 CONFIRM THE FAULT IS IN THE SEAT CUSHION OR THE BACKREST
- Key in OFF position.
- Key in ON position.
- After cycling the ignition switch and with the engine running, set the driver seat to high heat (3 LEDs illuminated on EATC module). Allow the seat to heat for at least 15 minutes while monitoring the TED temperature PIDs of the driver seat. If necessary, when the seat times-out after 15 minutes, set the driver seat to high heat once again.
- Do the driver seat cushion TED and backrest TED PIDs vary more than 30°C (54°F) from each other?
NOTE: A crushed seat cushion foam pad or a crushed climate controlled seat manifold may be the cause of the fault. It may be necessary to sit on the seat or place something of reasonable size and weight on the seat to recreate the fault.NOTE: If the seat shuts down before a 15-minute heat cycle has timed-out, carry out the CCSM self test and go to the Climate Controlled Seat Module (CCSM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart to continue diagnostics. - AQ4 CHECK THE TEDS COOLING PERFORMANCE
- Check the TEDs cooling performance on the passenger seat. Refer to Component Testing - Thermo-Electric Device (TED) Cooling Performance .
- Did the TEDs pass the component test?
- YES : The DTC may have been set by extreme cabin temperatures or excessive sun-load on the seat causing the system to enter recovery mode. Occupant size and weight characteristics can also be a factor. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation. If a concern cannot be found or duplicated, RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
- NO : CHECK the affected seat cushion or backrest for correct installation of the climate controlled seat components (TED, manifold, air ducts and foam pad). CHECK for airflow restrictions (TED inlets and outlets, TED-to-manifold connections, filters and ducts) and REPAIR as needed. CHECK for an intermittent wiring fault. REPAIR as needed. REPEAT the self-test. CLEAR the DTCs.
- AQ5 CHECK THE TED INSTALLATION AND FOR A CRUSHED SEAT CUSHION
- Key in OFF position.
- Depower the SRS. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in the General Procedures portion of SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
- Connect the battery ground cable.
