Circuit/System Description

The seat heating control module controls seat heating operation for both the driver and front passenger seats. The heating elements are controlled through individual high side and low side control circuits. The low side control circuits for both seats are connected to a common reference point internal to the module. This reference point is biased to approximately 2.5 V. Before the seat heating control module will allow heated seat operation, it checks to see if this biased voltage is shorted to ground or voltage. Once the module verifies that it is not closing to a shorted heating element, it allows for heated seat operation. The module will then continue to monitor the heating elements for a shorted circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The seat heating control module must be powered.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B2345 13

Any temperature sensor input that remains below 1.5 V for more than 1 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The heated seat function for both seats will be disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The current DTC will clear and set the code to history 3 s after the reference voltage returns to the normal operating range and the ignition is cycled OFF then back to ACCESSORY or RUN.
    • The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2, X3 wiring harness plugs at the K29 Seat Heating Control Module.
  2. Test for greater than 3.0 kΩ between the signal and the low reference circuits listed below:
  3. • E14B Seat Heating Element - Driver Cushion terminal 3 X3 and terminal 13 X2
    • E14D Seat Heating Element - Passenger Cushion terminal 4 X3 and terminal 14 X2
    If less than the specified value, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate seat cushion heating element.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the K29 Seat Heating Control Module.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
