If no movement is detected after 250 milliseconds, the DSM disables the output.
B14D0:31	Seat Height Front/Tilt Motor Output: No Signal	During self-test, the DSM attempts to operate the appropriate seat track motor and uses the motor's position sensor to monitor movement. If no motor movement is sensed, the DTC is set. The DSM retries motor operation on the next activation of the seat control switch. If no movement is detected after 250 milliseconds, the DSM disables the output.
B14D2:31	Seat Height Rear Motor Output: No Signal	During self-test, the DSM attempts to operate the appropriate seat track motor and uses the motor's position sensor to monitor movement. If no motor movement is sensed, the DTC is set. The DSM retries motor operation on the next activation of the seat control switch. If no movement is detected after 250 milliseconds, the DSM disables the output.
B1B89:11	Seat Slide Motor Speed/Position Sensor: Circuit Short To Ground	If a short to ground condition is present on the affected motor's position sensor (Hall-effect) feedback circuit, the DTC is set.

M2 CHECK OPERATION OF THE SCME (FRONT SEAT CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE) USING PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS)

NOTE: This step verifies the SCME is able to receive and process inbound command messages from the network and demonstrate if the SCME is operational. This indicates the FDIM or FCIM may not be sending the commands correctly.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the SCME Parameter Identifications (PIDs):
Driver Seat
- Seat Cushion Temperature - Driver (SEAT_CSH_TMP_D)
- Seat Back Temperature - Driver (SEAT_BK_TMP_D)
- Left Seat Back Heating Control (HEAT_BACK_L)
- Left Seat Cushion Heating Control (HEAT_CUSH_L)
Front Passenger Seat
- Seat Cushion Temperature - Passenger (SEAT_CSH_TMP_P)
- Seat Back Temperature - Passenger (SEAT_BK_TMP_P)
- Right Seat Back Heating Control (HEAT_BACK_R)
- Right Seat Cushion Heating Control (HEAT_CUSH_R)

NOTE: The SCME active commands are limited to 15 seconds in the ON state. Operate the affected climate controlled seat using the active command while monitoring the appropriate Parameter Identifications (PIDs) for that seat.
- When the command is in process the blower motor temperature Parameter Identifications (PIDs) on the affected seat should momentarily increase. If no temperature increase is noted, verify the cushion/backrest blower filter is unobstructed and repeat the active command while physically monitoring the blower for fan movement.

Do the PID states or cushion/backrest blower movement indicate climate controlled seat operation when using the active command?

Yes

GO to M3

No	INSTALL a new DSM. REFER to: Driver Front Seat Module (DSM) (501-10A Front Seats, Removal and Installation).

- Climate Controlled Seat System State - Passenger (CLIMATE_SEAT_P)

Start the engine.

NOTE: Operation of the climate controlled seats repeatedly on and off or repeatedly switching between heat and cool modes may cause SCME Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) to set, disabling one or both seat systems and may require Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) to be cleared before seat operation may continue. It is recommended to allow time between modes for seat temperatures to return toward ambient temperatures before continuing. Attempt to operate the affected climate controlled seat in all modes using the appropriate buttons on the FCIM while monitoring the SCME PID CLIMATE_SEAT_D or CLIMATE_SEAT_P.

Do all the PID states match the climate controlled seat settings selected on the FCIM?

Component Test(s)

Blower Motor Cooling Performance

NOTE: This test is intended to check the cooling mode performance of an operational climate controlled seat backrest or cushion blower motor and verify it is cooling inlet air at the blower motor (ambient cabin air) between 6-8° C (10-14° F).

NOTE: Make sure the vehicle is out of direct sunlight and is in an area with a stable air temperature when testing the climate controlled seat system.

NOTE: For correct temperature measurements, the seat being tested should be occupied.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the following SCME Parameter Identifications (PIDs):
- Seat Cushion Temperature - Driver (SEAT_CSH_TMP_D)
- Seat Back Temperature - Driver (SEAT_BK_TMP_D)
- Seat Cushion Temperature - Passenger (SEAT_CSH_TMP_P)
- Seat Back Temperature - Passenger (SEAT_BK_TMP_P)
- Climate Controlled Seat System State - Driver (CLIMATE_SEAT_D)
- Climate Controlled Seat System State - Passenger (CLIMATE_SEAT_P)

Any initial PID value of greater than 205° C (401° F) or less than 2° C (36° F) indicates a system hardware failure. Do not proceed with this test. GO to Symptom Chart or SCME DTC Chart for diagnostic direction.

Gain access to the seat cushion and backrest blower motors and use a suitable thermocouple temperature measuring device to monitor the air inlet temperature.
- Place the temperature probe near each blower motor air filter.

NOTE: The engine must be running to operate the climate controlled seat system and carry out this test.
Operate system in high cool mode and measure the temperature at the cushion blower motor filter using the thermocouple device.
- Secure the temperature probe at the cushion blower motor and record the air inlet temperature.

Use a diagnostic scan tool to measure the cushion blower motor PID temperature and record the value.
- Monitor the STATE Parameter Identifications (PIDs) to verify the system is operating. If during testing, a PID value indicates a fault has occurred (putting the system into recovery mode) the seat has failed the test. Do not continue. Return to the diagnostic routine.

Subtract the cushion blower motor PID temperature from the cushion air inlet temperature and record the temperature difference value.

Continue to operate the system in high cool mode and use the thermocouple device to measure the temperature at the backrest blower motor filter.
- Secure the temperature probe at the backrest blower motor and close the backrest trim cover before measuring and recording the air inlet temperature.

Use a diagnostic scan tool to measure the backrest blower motor PID temperature and record the value.
- Monitor the STATE Parameter Identifications (PIDs) to verify the system is operating. If during testing, a PID value indicates a fault has occurred (putting the system into recovery mode) the seat has failed the test. Do not continue. Return to the diagnostic routine.

Subtract the backrest blower motor PID temperature from the backrest air inlet temperature and record the value.

Compare the cushion and backrest calculated temperature values. The temperature difference should be between 6-8° C (10-14° F).

If the calculated temperature values are not within these specifications, check the climate controlled seat components for air duct or filter restrictions, blockages, duct or electrical disconnections and for incorrect assembly. Repair as needed. If OK, carry out the SCME self-test and if any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are retrieved, go to SCME DTC Chart for diagnostic direction. Return to the diagnostic routine.
