Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN)
This vehicle utilizes a communication system called a Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). When diagnosing the memory seat or climate controlled seats, use a Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool with the latest software update with the capability of communicating over the MS-CAN bus.
Principles of Operation
Driver and Passenger Power Seats Without Memory
The driver and front passenger power seat uses a 6-way power seat track and 3 electric motors directly controlled by a seat-mounted seat control switch for horizontal (forward/rearward), front height and rear height adjustment. The driver and passenger seats can also be equipped with a power recliner mechanism with power lumbar.
Power Driver Seat With Memory
NOTE: A memory recall can be initiated only if the vehicle is in PARK or NEUTRAL gear and the ignition is not in START. A memory recall in progress is not affected by the ignition being in START or by moving the gearshift lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL.
NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the memory seat system. Poor battery condition may interfere with memory seat operation, even if vehicle starting is possible.
The driver power memory seat is controlled by the Driver Seat Module (DSM). The memory seat feature allows the driver to program a personalized seat position that can be recalled using the memory switch or a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. There are 2 memory settings possible. The 2 settings consist of 8 possible directions: the seat can be moved forward or backward and the front and back of the cushion can be moved up and down independently. The backrest of the seat can be moved forward and backward. Adjustable lumbar is not a memory option. The power seat feature operates independent of the ignition position.
The driver seat control switch provides voltage to the DSM when activated. The NEUTRAL position of the driver seat control switch position is a ground state through the seat control switch contacts. A voltage input causes the DSM to power the appropriate motor until the input is removed. Ground is the normal state of the motor circuits through the DSM and is not switched to control the motors. The DSM internally switches the appropriate circuit from ground to voltage for operating the motors.
As the seat is adjusted, the DSM constantly monitors the motor position sensors to record the current seat position. The DSM will remove voltage from the motor upon termination of the seat control switch input or if the DSM does not see movement from the motor by monitoring the position sensor.
The DSM communicates DTCs and other information using the MS-CAN communication bus. It should be noted for diagnostics that because MS-CAN bus communication is more robust and reliable than other methods, it may be possible to have limited module communication with one of the MS-CAN bus circuits disconnected or shorted to ground. Refer to Section 418-00 for information concerning MS-CAN bus communication.
For information on programming memory positions or recalling a stored memory position, refer to Memory Position Programming in this section. For information on RKE transmitter programming, refer to Section 501-14B .
The DSM is located under the driver seat. To install a new DSM , refer to Driver Seat Module (DSM) . Programmable Module Installation (PMI) must be carried out when installing a new DSM . Refer to Section 418-01 .
Driver Seat Module (DSM) Hard Stop/Soft Stop
A hard stop occurs when the seat track or backrest (recline) axes physically reach the end of travel. A soft stop occurs when the seat stops before physically reaching the end of travel. The hard stop is set by seat design and cannot be changed or adjusted. The soft stop is set by the DSM . To prevent unnecessary stress on the seat, the DSM sets 2 soft stops for each moving axis of the seat track and backrest. The DSM uses a preset distance from the hard stop to determine where the soft stop occurs. When an axis reaches the hard stop and the switch is held for approximately one second, it then backs up 180 milliseconds and establishes the soft stop for that axis in that direction.
Easy Exit/Easy Entry
The easy entry/exit feature is a function of the DSM . When the ignition key is removed or for vehicles equipped with passive entry/passive start, when the button is pushed to turn the ignition off, the driver seat moves backward a maximum of 51 mm (2 in) or to the soft stop. The DSM receives a key out command over the MS-CAN communication network and powers the driver seat rearward. The DSM will cancel this operation if a valid input command is received from the driver seat control switch, memory SET switch or exterior mirror control switch.
The DSM will record the current seat position before powering the seat for an easy exit function. This recorded position will be used to return the seat to this position on the easy entry operation. During easy entry operation, the seat is returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation when the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder or for vehicles equipped with passive entry/passive start, the ignition button is pressed. Easy entry operation will be cancelled if a valid input command is received by the DSM .
The easy entry/exit feature can be enabled/disabled using a scan tool. When enabled, the feature becomes a user accessible item on the message center allowing the user to turn the feature on and off. Refer to the Owner's Literature or Section 413-01 for information on the message center.
Heated Seats — Front
The driver and passenger heated seat control buttons and indicators are located on the touchscreen interface ( FDIM ). The FDIM is mounted directly to the APIM . The heated seat system functions independently of the vehicle's climate control system. Each time the heated seat button is pressed, the APIM sends the request to the FCIM using the I-CAN . The FCIM sends the message to the IPC using the I-CAN . The IPC sends the request message to the BCM over the HS-CAN . Finally, the BCM sends the request to the HVAC module which decreases one setting (the sequence is high, low, off, high, etc.).
When activated, the HVAC module supplies voltage to the selected seat's heater circuit. Each seat's cushion heater mat and backrest heater mat is connected in a series circuit to the HVAC module and powered by the output circuit for that seat. The HVAC module monitors inputs from a temperature sensor located in each seat's cushion heater mat, and maintains seat temperature by cycling the heater circuits on/off. The heated seat remains ON until the heated seat switch button is pressed to cycle the HVAC module OFF or the ignition is set to OFF.
If a fault is detected by the HVAC module, the module stops supplying voltage to that individual left or right seat that the fault was detected on until the ignition is turned OFF and then ON.
Heated Seats — Rear
Vehicles equipped with rear heated seats are equipped with a single-heated seat module to control both rear heated seats. The heated seat module does not time out. The system will function with the ignition in RUN, whether the engine is running or not. The heated seat module supplies voltage to the heater mats and regulates seat temperature by monitoring a thermostat located in the cushion heater mat.
The heated seat buttons are located in the rear panel of the front floor console. When a heated seat button is pressed, a momentary ground is sent to the heated seat module to turn the heated seat on or off. Pressing the high or low button once turns the heated seat on and pressing the same button a second time turns it off. The heated seat module will send voltage to the separate indicator circuit at the heated seat switch to indicate an on state. The heated seat module will remain on until the heated seat switch is pressed for that high or low mode currently on, sending a second momentary ground signal to the heated seat module or the ignition is set to OFF.
When the heated seat module is on, it provides voltage to the separate indicator circuit at the heated seat button to indicate an on state.
The heated seat module does not report DTCs and does not communicate on the CAN . If a fault is detected, the module will disable the affected seat(s) and indicator(s).
After the fault is corrected, the heated seat module needs to be reset by cycling the ignition OFF and then ON. After the heated seat module has been reset, the module will return to an off state.
Climate Controlled Seat System
NOTICE: Avoid applying voltage directly to a Thermo-Electric Device (TED) for testing its operation. Doing so may cause damage to the TED .
NOTE: When installing a new Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM), it is necessary to carry out Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Refer to Section 418-01 .
Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled by the DCSM . The climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running above 350 rpm, however, if using a scan tool to command the DCSM , diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition on and engine off. The DCSM does not time out. The DCSM receives voltage from the Battery Junction Box (BJB) on 2 redundant circuits. If one pin does not receive voltage, both seats will remain operational because the voltage supply circuits are internally connected in the DCSM .
If a fault occurs setting a DTC, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module. If the system shuts down due to a DTC fault, cycling the ignition OFF and then ON again will reset the DCSM to function until the DTC resets.
Each driver and front passenger seat cushion and backrest is equipped with a TED and blower motor assembly. Voltage is applied to the TED to heat/cool the seat. Applying voltage polarity to the TED in one direction causes the TED to heat. Applying voltage polarity in the opposite direction causes the TED to cool. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the incoming air depending on the control switch settings. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once activated, the DCSM maintains the heating/cooling modes until deactivated.
The temperature differences between the individual heated and cooled settings is minimal. For example, it is difficult to distinguish between low cool and medium cool settings. Measuring seat temperature at different settings is possible by monitoring the DCSM PIDs using the scan tool.
When the climate control seat buttons are activated on the touchscreen interface, the APIM sends the climate controlled seat commands to the FCIM using the I-CAN . The FCIM sends the request message to the IPC using the I-CAN . The IPC sends the request message to the BCM over the HS-CAN . Finally the BCM sends the communicates climate controlled seat commands to the DCSM using the MS-CAN . The MS-CAN is connected to the DLC for diagnostic use. No direct connection exists between the DCSM and touchscreen interface for the climate controlled seat buttons. The climate controlled seats can be commanded on or off using the scan tool to verify both module communication on the MS-CAN and operation of the DCSM . This method may be useful for isolating a control switch concern. Refer to Section 418-00 for information concerning CAN .
The climate controlled seats can be commanded using the diagnostic tool to verify both module communication on the MS-CAN bus and operation of the DCSM . This method may be useful for isolating a control switch concern. It should also be noted that because MS-CAN bus communication is more robust and reliable than other methods, it may be possible to have limited module communication with one of the MS-CAN bus circuits disconnected or shorted to ground. Refer to Section 418-00 for information concerning MS-CAN bus communication.
Heating Characteristics
NOTE: The presence of overtemperature faults (DTCs B2729, B2730, B272A and B272B) can be induced by incorrect operation of the climate controlled seat system after an initial HEAT setting has been attained. If a HEAT setting is repeatedly turned OFF and ON in an attempt to increase the seat temperature, an overtemperature condition can result and the DTCs will be set.
Cooling Characteristics
Climate Controlled Seat System Recovery Mode
NOTE: The presence of overtemperature faults (DTCs B2729, B2730, B272A and B272B) can be induced by incorrect operation of the climate controlled seat system after an initial heat setting has been attained. If a heat setting is repeatedly turned OFF and ON in an attempt to increase the seat temperature or repeatedly toggled between heat and cool modes, an overtemperature condition can result and the DTCs will be set.
If the temperature at one of the TEDs rises above 110°C (230°F) in the heat mode or 65°C (149°F) in the cool mode for more than 4 seconds, the DCSM will record an overtemperature DTC, remove voltage from the TEDs and go into recovery mode (blower only) for 30 seconds to cool down the TEDs . The same will occur if a temperature difference of 60°C (108°F) or greater is seen between the backrest and cushion TEDs on either front seat. The DCSM will continue to monitor the TEDs while in recovery mode. If the temperature of the TEDs does not drop to 105°C (221°F) in the heat mode or 60°C (140°F) in the cool mode after 30 seconds, the system will continue to cool the TEDs in recovery mode for up to 5 minutes. If the TEDs cool down at anytime after 30 seconds, but before 5 minutes (checked at 4-second intervals), the system will operate as normal. An overtemperature DTC will still be recorded even if the system recovers and is operating normally. Recovery mode is more likely to occur during extreme cabin temperatures with significant seat back sunload. If the system does not recover within 30 seconds in heat mode or within 5 minutes in cool mode, the DCSM will disable that seat (fault mode) and remain off until the ignition is cycled. Also, if the DCSM detects temperature differential fault twice during the same ignition cycle, it will shutdown. When a fault causes a shutdown, the climate controlled seat indicators will turn off for the affected seat and that seat will not be operational until the next key cycle.
Second Row Power-Fold Seat
For the second row power-fold seat to operate, voltage is supplied by the BCM to the power-fold seat relay, enabling the seats to then be moved by pressing the second row power-fold seat switch.
The power-fold seat relay provides voltage on the coil side from the BCM for 30 minutes when the transmission selector is in PARK, and the liftgate, or liftgate glass, is open. The voltage is disabled 30 minutes after turning the vehicle OFF. If the relay is disabled after 30 minutes, it can be enabled by opening any door, pressing the unlock key on the key fob, pressing any keyless keypad button or turning the ignition key.
The second row power-fold seat motor retracts a cable to release the backrest recliner latches and allows the backrest assist spring to fold the backrest forward onto the seat cushion. The power-fold seat motor continues to retract to release the seat-to floor latches and allows the assist spring and strut dampener to lift and tumble the seat forward to the E-Z entry position for third row seat access. Immediately after the seat is fully released, the power-fold seat motor returns the release cable and latches to a relaxed state, ready for manual latching. To return to a seating position, the seat must be manually latched to the floor and the backrest must be manually latched upright.
Third Row Power Seats
The third row power seat system includes the following components:
The third row power seat relay coil receives voltage from the battery saver relay in the BCM (courtesy lamp circuit) and ground from the chassis. When energized, the relay switch closes and supplies battery voltage from the Battery Junction Box (BJB) to the PFSM . Sufficient battery voltage is required for PFSM operation. If battery voltage drops below 8 volts, a started seat movement stops.
When the gear selector lever is in the PARK position and the liftgate is open, the BCM supplies voltage to the PFSM enable circuit for 30 minutes. With the ignition OFF, the BCM disables the battery saver relay after 10 minutes. The system can be re-enabled by opening any door, pressing the unlock button on the RKE transmitter or turning the ignition ON. A short to voltage on the PFSM enable circuit can result in the third row power seat being operational any time the battery saver relay is energized, regardless of gear selector lever or tailgate position.
The seat control switch contains the seat selector switch button and seat position switch buttons. The PFSM receives a voltage signal from the seat selector switch for 3 modes:
The PFSM receives voltage signals from the seat position switches for 4 possible seat positions:
The power-stow seat motor assemblies rotate the LH or RH seat cushion assemblies together or separately (based on seat[s] selected) and are located at the outboard seat positions. The motor assemblies contain Hall-effect sensors that indicate seat position to the PFSM . The power-stow seat motor assemblies are part of the third row seat pivot tube assembly and are not serviceable separately.
The power-fold motor assemblies rotate the LH or RH seat backrests and are located at the backrest lower outboard positions. The motor assemblies contain Hall-effect sensors that indicate seat backrest position to the PFSM . The LH and RH power-fold motor assemblies are serviceable individually.
The LH and RH latch motors receive voltage from the PFSM . The motors share a common ground supplied by the PFSM . The seat latch motors energize and release the seat latch mechanism(s) when STOW and TAILGATE positions are selected.
The latch switches are normally open and receive approximately 12 volts from the PFSM . The LH and RH latch switches share a common return circuit in series to the PFSM . The PFSM monitors the latch switch circuits to determine if the seat latches are open or closed. The latch switch is mounted to seat latch mechanism and is not serviceable. A new power seat latch must be installed.
When STOW, FOLD or TAILGATE is selected the backrest folds forward enough to release the spring loaded headrest. If the head restraint is not folded prior to achieving FOLD, STOW or TAILGATE positions, the head restraint becomes an obstruction and prevents the seat from completing the seat movement. When an obstruction is detected during any seat movement, the seat stops, reverses movement a few inches and then stops again until the obstruction is removed. When the obstruction has been removed the seat control switch must be pressed again to reset the request. The seat moves to the home position (seat folded and latched to the floor) and then continues to the requested seat position.
On the first press of the seat control switch after the seat is repaired and a new system component has been installed, the PFSM moves the seat to the home position (seat folded and latched to the floor) before continuing to move to the selected seat position. This allows the PFSM to relearn the position of the affected motors.

Pinpoint Tests
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
Refer to Inspection and Verification, the Driver Seat Module (DSM) DTC Chart, HVAC Module DTC Chart, BCM DTC Chart and the Symptom Chart for direction to the appropriate pinpoint test.
Pinpoint Test A: The Power Seat is Inoperative — Driver, With Power Recliner
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 120 , Power Seats for schematic and connector information.
The driver seat control switch is supplied battery voltage and ground. When pressed, the seat control switch supplies voltage and ground to a power seat track motor or power recliner motor to move the seat or backrest to the desired position. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat cushion horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). There is an additional motor in the power recliner mechanism to move the seat backrest forward and rearward. If a new motor needs to be installed, it is necessary to install an entire power seat track or power recliner mechanism.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is on.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Pinpoint Test J: The Memory Seat is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly — Does Not Operate Horizontally/Vertically/Recline
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 123 , Memory Seats for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 149 , Component Testing for component testing.
The driver seat control switch is supplied battery voltage and ground. When pressed, the seat control switch supplies voltage and ground to the applicable Driver Seat Module (DSM) inputs. The DSM then supplies voltage and ground to the appropriate power seat track or recline motor based on the inputs received from the seat control switch. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat horizontally (forward/backward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). The recliner mechanism uses a single motor to pivot the seat backrest forward and backward.
Each motor in the memory seat track and recliner contain a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM supplies a shared signal feed circuit to each sensor. Each position sensor sends a signal pulse back to the DSM to monitor the position of the power seat and seat backrest. The DSM uses this information to return the seat to a stored pre-programmed position when pressing the memory SET switch or a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE). For information on programming memory positions or recalling a stored memory position, refer to Memory Position Programming in this section.
The following pinpoint test diagnoses a memory seat that does not operate in one or more directions when using the seat control switch. If the memory seat moves in all directions using the seat control switch, but does not operate using the memory SET switch, GO to Pinpoint Test K .
DTC Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
---|---|
| During self-test, the Driver Seat Module (DSM) attempts to operate the appropriate seat track motor and uses the motor position sensor to monitor movement. If no motor movement is sensed, the DTC is set. The DSM will retry motor operation on the next activation of the seat control switch. If no movement continues to be monitored after 250 milliseconds, the DSM disables the output. |
| During self-test, the DSM attempts to operate the recliner motor and uses the recliner motor position sensor to monitor movement. If no motor movement is sensed, the DTC is set. The DSM will retry motor operation on the next activation of the seat control switch. If no motor movement is still monitored after 250 milliseconds, the DSM disables the output. |
| If voltage is sensed on the switch input circuit during the DSM self-test, the DTC is set. If voltage is sensed on the input circuit for greater than 2 minutes, the DTC is set as continuous. With the DTC set, any input signal on the circuit is ignored. |
| If voltage is sensed on the switch input circuit during the DSM self-test, the DTC is set. If voltage is sensed on the input circuit for greater than 2 minutes, the DTC is set as continuous. With the DTC set, any input signal on the circuit is ignored. |
| If voltage is sensed on the switch input circuit during the DSM self-test, the DTC is set. If voltage is sensed on the input circuit for greater than 2 minutes, the DTC is set as continuous. With the DTC set, any input signal on the circuit is ignored. |
| If voltage is sensed on the switch input circuit during the DSM self-test, the DTC is set. If voltage is sensed on the input circuit for greater than 2 minutes, the DTC is set as continuous. With the DTC set, any input signal on the circuit is ignored. |
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
NOTE: If a new DSM has been installed, all memory seat soft stops must be reset. If a new seat track or recline motor has been installed, only reset the soft stops for that component being installed new. To reset the soft stops, refer to Principles of Operation in this section.
NOTE: Refer to Description and Operation, Intelligent Access with Push Button Start in Section 419-01A to review the procedures for achieving the various ignition states (ignition OFF, ignition in ACCESSORY, ignition ON, ignition START) on vehicles with this feature.

Pinpoint Test K: The Memory Seat Does Not Operate Correctly — Does Not Operate Using the Memory SET Switch
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 123 , Memory Seats for schematic and connector information.
Each motor in the memory seat track and recliner mechanism contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The Driver Seat Module (DSM) supplies a voltage signal to each sensor. Each position sensor sends a signal pulse back to the DSM to monitor the position of the power seat and seat backrest. The DSM stores the sensor position data when a SET command is received and uses this information to return the seat to the stored position when a recall command is received.
The memory SET switch is supplied a ground circuit. When SET button 1 or 2 is pressed, the memory SET switch supplies ground to the Driver Door Module (DDM) input circuit. The DDM communicates a memory SET command to the DSM on the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). The DSM then supplies voltage and ground to the power seat track motors and power recliner motor to move the seat to the stored position. For information on programming memory positions or recalling a stored memory position, refer to Memory Position Programming in this section.
The following pinpoint test diagnoses a memory seat that does not operate correctly using the memory SET switch. If the memory seat does not move in all directions using the seat control switch, GO to Pinpoint Test J .
DTC Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
---|---|
| If any activity is sensed on the switch input circuit during the Driver Door Module (DDM) self-test, the DTC is set. If activity is sensed on the input circuit for greater than 2 minutes, the DTC is set as continuous. With the DTC set, any input signal on the circuit is ignored. |
| During self-test the DSM attempts to operate the seat track motors and uses the motor position sensor to monitor movement. If no motor movement is sensed, a DTC is set. The DSM will retry motor operation on the next activation of the seat control switch. If no movement continues to be monitored after 250 milliseconds, the DSM disables the output. |
| During self-test the DSM attempts to operate the recliner motor and uses the recliner motor position sensor to monitor movement. If no motor movement is sensed, the DTC is set. The DSM will retry motor operation on the next activation of the seat control switch. If no motor movement is still monitored after 250 milliseconds, the DSM disables the output. |
| If a short to voltage condition is present on the affected motor position sensor (Hall-effect) feedback circuit, the DTC is set. After a DTC is set, a memory recall is not possible but the seat control switch can operate the associated motor in one second increments. |
| If a short to ground or open condition is present on the affected motor position sensor (Hall effect) feedback circuit, the DTC is set. After a DTC is set, a memory recall is not possible but the seat control switch can operate the associated motor in one second increments. |
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
NOTE: If a new DSM has been installed, all memory seat soft stops must be reset. If a new seat track or recline motor has been installed, only reset the soft stops for that component being installed new. To reset the soft stops, refer to Principles of Operation in this section.
NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the memory seat system. Poor battery condition may interfere with memory seat operation, even if vehicle starting is possible.
NOTE: Verify the PID(s) states agree with the ignition and transmission gear selector in all positions before proceeding with memory seat diagnosis.

Pinpoint Test N: The Heated Seat is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly — Driver
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 , Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
The driver and passenger heated seat control buttons and indicators are located on the touchscreen interface ( FDIM ). The FDIM is mounted directly to the APIM . The heated seat system functions independently of the vehicle's climate control system. Each time the heated seat button is pressed, the APIM sends the request to the FCIM using the I-CAN . The FCIM sends the message to the IPC using the I-CAN . The IPC sends the request message to the BCM over the HS-CAN . Finally, the BCM sends the request to the HVAC module which decreases one setting (the sequence is high, low, off, high, etc.).
When activated, the HVAC module supplies voltage to the selected seat's heater circuit. Each seat's cushion heater mat and backrest heater mat is connected in a series circuit to the HVAC module and powered by the output circuit for that seat. The HVAC module monitors inputs from a temperature sensor located in each seat's cushion heater mat, and maintains seat temperature by cycling the heater circuits on/off. The heated seat remains ON until the heated seat switch button is pressed to cycle the HVAC module OFF or the ignition is set to OFF.
If a fault is detected by the HVAC module, the module stops supplying voltage to that individual left or right seat that the fault was detected on until the ignition is turned OFF and then ON.
DTC Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |

The PFSM monitors the latch switch to determine if the position of the latch is closed or released. If the seat latch does not release, the latch must be mechanically released to move the seat from the latched home position. If a fault is detected during a seat operation the seat may enter a faulted state. When the seat is in a faulted state the seat backrest and cushion fold together to prevent the seat from being occupied.
NOTICE: The following pinpoint test uses a test light to simulate normal circuit loads. Use only the test light recommended in the Special Tools table at the beginning of this section. To avoid connector terminal damage, use the Flex Probe Kit for the test light probe connection to the vehicle. Do not use the test light probe directly on any connector.
NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the Power-Fold Seat Module (PFSM) system. Poor battery condition may interfere with PFSM operation. If battery voltage drops below 11 volts, seat movement does not start. If battery voltage drops below 8 volts, a started seat movement stops.
NOTE: The demand lighting/battery saver system times-out after 10 minutes and disables the third row power seat operation. Meter voltage measurements may be inaccurate when this occurs, which could lead to misdiagnosis . To enable the accessory delay system during diagnosis and testing, close and open any vehicle door.

Pinpoint Test AI: Power-Stow Seat Motor and Sensor Functional Test — LH Third Row Power Seat
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 120 , Power Seats for schematic and connector information.
The Power-Fold Seat Module (PFSM) supplies voltage and ground to the power-stow seat motor to move the seat to and from the STOW position when selected by the seat control switch. When STOW is selected from NORMAL or TAILGATE, the backrest folds forward to release the spring loaded headrest. If an obstruction is detected in the STOW axis of movement the seat stops, reverses movement a few inches and then stops again until the obstruction is removed. When the obstruction has been removed the seat control switch must be depressed again to reset the request. The seat goes to the power-stow seat motor home position (seat folded and latched to the floor) and then continues with the STOW request. If the PFSM detects an open or short in the power-stow seat motor circuitry, motor operation is disabled. If a short to ground is present the motor works in only one direction.
A Hall effect sensor is located inside each of the power-stow seat motor assemblies to detect power-stow seat motor movement and position to the PFSM . If the sensor does not detect motor movement during a request from the seat control switch, the PFSM disables the power-stow seat motor output. When the seat control switch is pressed again the seat moves in short increments indicating a fault with the sensor or circuitry.
NOTICE: The following pinpoint test uses a test light to simulate normal circuit loads. Use only the test light recommended in the Special Tools table at the beginning of this section. To avoid connector terminal damage, use the Flex Probe Kit for the test light probe connection to the vehicle. Do not use the test light probe directly on any connector.
NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the Power-Fold Seat Module (PFSM) system. Poor battery condition may interfere with PFSM operation. If battery voltage drops below 11 volts, seat movement does not start. If battery voltage drops below 8 volts, a started seat movement stops.

Pinpoint Test AM: DTC B106E, B106F
When a repetitive fault causing a circuit overload is detected on certain output circuits, the Driver Seat Module (DSM) disables the circuit by removing voltage, or ground, to the affected circuit. The circuit remains disabled until the fault is corrected and an on-demand self-test is run. When the on-demand self-test has been run after all faults have been corrected, any DTCs related to the fault are cleared.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
NOTICE: If DTC B106F is present and the Driver Seat Module (DSM) is to be replaced, the fault condition must be corrected first. Failure to correct the fault condition first may cause damage to the new DSM , resulting in a repeat repair.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 , Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) monitors seat backrest temperature while it supplies voltage and ground to both blower motors. The DCSM also supplies a variable voltage signal to control the blower speed. Cabin air enters the blower through a filter attached to the Thermo-Electric Device (TED) housing. Heated or cooled air exits the TED and flows through a manifold attached to the foam pad.
NOTICE: When taking measurements at Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) harness connectors, do not insert the electrical probes into the female connector pins. Inserting the probes into connector pins can cause intermittent or open electrical connections after reassembly resulting in Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.

Pinpoint Test AZ: DTC B272C
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 , Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) is supplied voltage at all times, but the climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running. The system can be operated with the ignition ON engine OFF by using a scan tool to bypass the climate controlled seat buttons on the touchscreen interface. When commanding a heat or cool mode operation in this manner, the climate controlled seat system only operates in 15 second intervals. Both voltage supply circuits are spliced together internal to the DCSM , so if one circuit becomes open, both seats can still be operated. However, if a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat is disabled by the DCSM .
The seat cushion is equipped with a Thermo-Electric Device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED ). Similarly, the seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the DCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the commanded climate controlled seat settings.
A differential fault occurs when the cushion and backrest TEDs on an affected seat are reporting very different temperatures to the DCSM . This may result from an air flow restriction or a circuit fault of either TED area. If a TED and manifold is clear of obstruction and is operational, check the other TED and circuitry on the seat. It is important to note that a TED with a higher temperature may be operating correctly and not the area of concern. The other TED may be indicating a much lower temperature, causing the DTC to set.
NOTICE: When taking measurements at Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) harness connectors, do not insert the electrical probes into the female connector pins. Inserting the probes into connector pins can cause intermittent or open electrical connections after reassembly resulting in Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is on.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Pinpoint Test BA: DTC B272D
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 , Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) is supplied voltage at all times, but the climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running. The system can be operated with the ignition ON engine OFF by using a scan tool to bypass the climate controlled seat buttons on the touchscreen interface. When commanding a heat or cool mode operation in this manner, the climate controlled seat system only operates in 15 second intervals. Both voltage supply circuits are spliced together internal to the DCSM , so if one circuit becomes open, both seats can still be operated. However, if a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat is disabled by the DCSM .
The seat cushion is equipped with a Thermo-Electric Device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED ). Similarly, the seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the DCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the commanded climate controlled seat settings.
A differential fault occurs when the cushion and backrest TEDs on an affected seat are reporting very different temperatures to the DCSM . This may result from an air flow restriction or a circuit fault of either TED area. If a TED and manifold is clear of obstruction and is operational, check the other TED and circuitry on the seat. It is important to note that a TED with a higher temperature may be operating correctly and is not the area of concern. The other TED may be indicating a much lower temperature, causing the DTC to set.
NOTICE: When taking measurements at Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) harness connectors, do not insert the electrical probes into the female connector pins. Inserting the probes into connector pins can cause intermittent or open electrical connections after reassembly resulting in Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is on.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Pinpoint Test BD: DTC B2730
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 , Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) monitors seat backrest temperature while it supplies voltage and ground to both blower motors. The DCSM also supplies a variable voltage signal to control the blower speed. Cabin air enters the blower through a filter attached to the Thermo-Electric Device (TED) housing. Heated or cooled air exits the TED and flows through a manifold attached to the foam pad.
NOTICE: When taking measurements at Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) harness connectors, do not insert the electrical probes into the female connector pins. Inserting the probes into connector pins can cause intermittent or open electrical connections after reassembly resulting in Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Pinpoint Test BG: DTC B103D
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 , Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) is supplied voltage at all times, but the climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running. The system can be operated with the ignition ON engine OFF by using a scan tool to bypass the climate controlled seat switches on the touchscreen interface. When commanding a heat or cool mode operation in this manner, the climate controlled seat system only operates in 15 second intervals. Both voltage supply circuits are spliced together internal to the DCSM , so if one circuit becomes open, both seats can still be operated. However, if a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat is disabled by the DCSM .
The seat cushion is equipped with a Thermo-Electric Device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED ). Similarly, the seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the DCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the commanded climate controlled seat settings.
NOTICE: When taking measurements at Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) harness connectors, do not insert the electrical probes into the female connector pins. Inserting the probes into connector pins can cause intermittent or open electrical connections after reassembly resulting in Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is on.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Pinpoint Test BJ: DTC B111D
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 , Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) is supplied voltage at all times, but the climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running. The system can be operated with the ignition ON engine OFF by using a scan tool to bypass the climate controlled seat buttons on the touchscreen interface. When commanding a heat or cool mode operation in this manner, the climate controlled seat system only operates in 15 second intervals. Both voltage supply circuits are spliced together internal to the DCSM , so if one circuit becomes open, both seats can still be operated. However, if a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat is disabled by the DCSM .
The seat cushion is equipped with a Thermo-Electric Device (TED) assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED ). Similarly, the seat backrest is also equipped with its own TED assembly with blower. Cabin air is drawn through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the DCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the commanded climate controlled seat settings.
NOTICE: When taking measurements at Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) harness connectors, do not insert the electrical probes into the female connector pins. Inserting the probes into connector pins can cause intermittent or open electrical connections after reassembly resulting in Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.

Pinpoint Test BN: A Single Climate Controlled Seat is Inoperative
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 , Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) is supplied voltage at all times, but the climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running. The system can be operated with the ignition ON engine OFF by using a scan tool to bypass the climate controlled seat buttons on the touchscreen interface. When commanding a heat or cool mode operation in this manner, it only operates in 15 second intervals. Both voltage supply circuits are spliced together internal to the DCSM , so if one circuit becomes open, both seats can still be operated. However, if a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat is disabled by the DCSM .
When the climate control seat buttons are activated on the touchscreen interface, the APIM sends the climate controlled seat commands to the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) using the I-CAN . The FCIM sends the request message to the IPC using the I-CAN . The IPC sends the request message to the BCM over the HS-CAN . Finally the BCM sends the communicates climate controlled seat commands to the DCSM using the MS-CAN .
NOTICE: When taking measurements at Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) harness connectors, do not insert the electrical probes into the female connector pins. Inserting the probes into connector pins can cause intermittent or open electrical connections after reassembly resulting in Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.
