Pinpoint Test V : B19A1

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.

Is the resistance greater than 2, 000, 000 ohms?

Yes	GO to V5.
No	INSTALL a new seat cushion TED. Refer to Seat Cushion Thermo-Electric Device (TED) . GO to V6.

V5 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: Passenger Cushion TED C3040 .

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 V6.
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 V6.

V6 CHECK FOR SRS DTCs

Ignition OFF.

Connect: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag C339 .

Connect: DCSM C3265C (if previously disconnected).

Connect: Passenger Cushion TED C3040 (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.
