With the engine running.

- Set Condition:
The Heated Seat Module (HSM) detects Voltage below 1.0 volt or current above 10.0 amps on the (P188) Right Front Seat Heater Control circuit for more than two seconds with the output turned on.





1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION

NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged and the charging system is operating properly before proceeding.
