Pinpoint Test T : B111C

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.

T1 CHECK THE TED CIRCUITS 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: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag C339 .

Disconnect: DCSM C3265A .

Disconnect: Passenger Cushion TED C3040 .

Disconnect: Passenger Backrest TED C3039 .

Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?

Yes	GO to T2.
No	REPAIR the affected circuit. GO to T5.

T2 CHECK THE TED CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

Ignition ON.

Is any voltage present?

Yes	REPAIR the affected circuit. GO to T5.
No	GO to T3.

T3 CHECK THE PASSENGER SEAT TED AND CUSHION TED RESISTANCES

Ignition OFF.

Measure the component side resistance:

Are the resistances between 0.9 and 10 ohms?

Yes	GO to T4.
No	If the resistance of the backrest TED was not between 0.9 and 10 ohms, INSTALL a new seat backrest TED. Refer to Seat Backrest Thermo-Electric Device (TED) . GO to T5. If the resistance of the cushion TED was not between 0.9 and 10 ohms, INSTALL a new seat cushion TED. Refer to Seat Cushion Thermo-Electric Device (TED) . GO to T5.

T4 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 .

Connect: Passenger Backrest TED C3039 .

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 T5.
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 T5.

T5 CHECK FOR SRS DTCs

Ignition OFF.

Connect: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag C339 .

Connect: DCSM C3265A (if previously disconnected).

Connect: Passenger Cushion TED C3040 (if previously disconnected).

Connect: Passenger Backrest TED C3039 (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.
