Pinpoint Test Q : B103D

NOTE: When taking measurements at 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 DTCs and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.

Q1 CHECK THE BLOWER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect: Driver Seat Side Air Bag C3051 .

Disconnect: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag C339 .

Disconnect: DCSM C3265C .

Disconnect: Driver Cushion TED C3035 .

Disconnect: Driver Backrest TED C3034 .

Measure:

Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?

Yes	GO to Q2.
No	REPAIR the affected circuit. GO to Q5.

Q2 CHECK FOR A SHORT BETWEEN THE TED BLOWER CIRCUITS

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead

Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?

Yes	GO to Q3.
No	REPAIR the affected circuit. GO to Q5.

Q3 CHECK THE DRIVER BACKREST BLOWER AND CUSHION BLOWER RESISTANCES

NOTE: The ohmmeter must be connected with the positive lead to pin 2 and the negative lead to pin 4 when measuring. Ohmmeter leads incorrectly connected can result in false readings and lead to incorrect identification of components that are not damaged.

Measure the component side resistance:

Are the resistances between 4, 000 ohms and 10, 000 ohms?

Yes	GO to Q4.
No	If the resistance of the cushion TED was not between 4, 000 ohms and 10, 000 ohms, INSTALL a new cushion TED. Refer to Seat Cushion Thermo-Electric Device (TED) . GO to Q5. If the resistance of the backrest TED was not between 4, 000 ohms and 10, 000 ohms, INSTALL a new backrest TED. Refer to Seat Backrest Thermo-Electric Device (TED) . GO to Q5.

Q4 CHECK FOR CORRECT DCSM OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect all DCSM connectors.

Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins as necessary
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the DCSM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

Connect: Driver Seat Backrest TED C3034 .

Connect: Driver Seat Cushion TED C3035 .

Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new DCSM. Refer to Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) . GO to Q5.
No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues. GO to Q5.

Q5 CHECK FOR SRS DTCs

Ignition OFF.

Connect: Driver Seat Side Air Bag C3051 .

Connect: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag C339 .

Connect: DCSM C3265C (if previously disconnected).

Connect: Driver Seat Backrest TED C3034 (if previously disconnected).

Connect: Driver Seat Cushion TED C3035 (if previously disconnected).

Ignition ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the RCM DTCs.

Cycle the ignition OFF then ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform RCM self-test.

Are any RCM DTCs retrieved during self-test?

Yes	REFER to Supplemental Restraint System for pinpoint test direction.
No	The repair is complete. RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
