Diagnostic Test

1. VERIFY THAT DTC B1098-FRONT RIGHT SEAT HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN IS ACTIVE

With the scan tool, record and erase CCN DTC's

Operate the Heated Seat Switch in both positions several times.

With the scan tool, read DTC's.

Does the DTC B1098 FRONT RIGHT SEAT HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN reset?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

2. CHECK FOR AN OPEN SEAT HEATER ELEMENT





Disconnect the Right Seat Cushion Heater 2 - way connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

Measure the total resistance of the cushion and seat back heater elements at the Right Seat Cushion 2 - way connector (component side).

Is the total resistance 2.5 to 3.5 ohms + or -.5 ohms?

Yes

- Go To 4

No

- Go To 3

3. CHECK THE RIGHT SEAT HEATER ELEMENT RESISTANCE





Gain access to and disconnect the seat cushion and seat back heater connectors.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

Measure each of the heater elements by measuring between the (P188) Right Seat Heater B(+) Driver and the Ground circuit at the seat cushion and seat back heater connectors.

For the seat cushion element the resistance value is 3 to 5.5 ohms.

For the seat back element the resistance value is 4 to 6 ohms.

Is the resistance correct for each heater element?

Yes

- Check for an open in the pigtail harness and repair as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Replace the heater element as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

4. CHECK THE SEAT HEATER GROUND CIRCUIT





Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z914) Ground circuit at the Right Seat Cushion Heater 2 - way connector (harness side).

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Repair the (Z914) Ground circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

5. CHECK THE (P188) RIGHT SEAT HEATER B(+) DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN.





Disconnect the Heated Seat Module connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

Measure the (P188) Right Seat Heater B(+) Driver circuit cavity K from the HSM connector to the Right Seat Cushion Heater 2 - way connector (harness side).

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Replace the Heated Seat Module.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Repair the (P188) Right Seat Heater B(+) Driver circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test
