How To Clear the DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Whenever the control unit detects failures (abnormal seat heater voltage, abnormal seat heater current, a seat ventilation switch failure, and/or a driver's side or front passenger's side seat not heating), each failure is stored in the control unit.

The DTCs will be cleared when the corresponding HEAT side of the seat ventilation switch is held for 6 seconds during self-diagnostic mode.

NOTE:

Completely clear all DTCs for the driver's side (or passenger's side) before clearing the other side.
After clearing the DTCs, all seat heater indicators will turn on for 2 seconds, and then go off.
A thermistor open or a thermistor short failure is stored only when the ignition switch is ON (II). After the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), it will be cleared.
For self-diagnostic mode display of a thermistor open or a thermistor short failure, if the failure has already occurred, it will be detected within 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON (II).
To exit the self-diagnostic mode, turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
