Seat Temperature Control Module: Service and Repair

CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEAT MODULE

Removal and Installation

WARNING:
- The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.


NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- When installing a new climate control seat module (CCSM), it is necessary to carry out programmable module installation (PMI).

1. Before removing the dual CCSM, carry out the appropriate steps in the PMI procedure.
2. Position the front passenger seat all the way back and up.
3. Depower the SRS.
4. Pull out and remove the seat track front cover.







5. NOTE: The inset shows the dual climate control seat module (CCSM) retaining bracket.

Remove the dual CCSM.
1 Pull the back of the dual CCSM away from the seat and slide it off the mounting bracket.
2 Disconnect the electrical connectors.
3 Remove the dual CCSM.

6. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
7. Repower the SRS.
8. Install the CCSM software data. Carry out the appropriate steps in the PMI procedure.
