Pinpoint Test W: DTC B19A1

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Set 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) supplies a speed control signal voltage to the passenger seat cushion Thermo-Electric Device (TED) on circuit VHS23 (BN/BU). The TED blower is supplied operating voltage from DCSM output circuit CHS08 (BN/YE) and ground from DCSM output circuit RHS08 (VT/WH).

- DTC B19A1 (Passenger Seat Cushion Blower Speed Short to Battery) - If the passenger seat cushion 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 W: DTC B19A1

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.
