Pinpoint Test AI: DTC B19A2
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) supplies a speed control signal voltage to the passenger seat backrest Thermo-Electric Device (TED) on circuit CHS09 (GY). The TED blower is supplied operating voltage from DCSM output circuit CHS14 (GN) and ground from DCSM output circuit CHS08 (BN/YE).
- DTC B19A2 (Passenger Seat Back Blower Speed Short to Battery) - If the passenger seat backrest blower speed circuit is shorted to voltage, the DCSM will shut down the passenger seat system and set this DTC.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- TED and blower assembly
- DCSM
PINPOINT TEST AI: DTC B19A2
NOTICE: When taking measurements at Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (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 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and system failure. Touching the tip of these connector pins is recommended instead.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

AI1 CHECK THE BACKREST TED BLOWER SPEED CONTROL FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Depower the SRS. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in the General Procedures portion of Supplemental Restraint System Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering.
- Disconnect: Passenger Seat Side Air Bag C3052.
- Disconnect: Passenger Seat Safety Belt Buckle Pretensioner C3050.
- Disconnect: DCSM C3265C.
- WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of any air bag module when the battery is connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment
- Connect the battery ground cable. Refer to Battery, Mounting and Cables Battery Disconnect.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between C3265C-4, circuit CHS09 (GY), harness side and ground.
- Is any voltage present?
Yes
GO to AI2.
No
GO to AI3.
-------------------------------------------------
AI2 CHECK THE BACKREST TED BLOWER SPEED CONTROL FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Disconnect: Backrest TED C3039 (10-Way Power Seat) or C3316 (6-Way Power Seat).
- Measure the voltage between DCSM C3265C-4, circuit CHS09 (GY), harness side and ground.

-------------------------------------------------
AI3 CHECK BACKREST TED BLOWER SPEED CONTROL AND BLOWER OUTPUT CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Backrest TED C3039 (10-Way Power Seat) or C3316 (6-Way Power Seat).
- Measure the resistance between DCSM C3265C-4, circuit CHS09 (GY), harness side and C3265C-8, circuit CHS14 (GN), harness side.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
GO to AI4.
No
REPAIR the circuits. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable.
CONNECT passenger seat safety belt buckle pretensioner C3050.
CONNECT passenger seat side air bag module C3052.
REPOWER the SRS. REFER to Supplemental Restraint System Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering.
-------------------------------------------------
AI4 CHECK BACKREST TED RESISTANCE FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT
- Measure the resistance between backrest TED C3039 (10-way power seat) or C3316 (6-way power seat) pin 2 and pin 7, component side.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
INSTALL a new DCSM. REFER to Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
DISCONNECT the battery ground cable.
CONNECT passenger seat safety belt buckle pretensioner C3050.
CONNECT passenger seat side air bag module C3052.
REPOWER the SRS. REFER to Supplemental Restraint System Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering.
No
