Circuit/System Description
The driver and front passenger heated seats are controlled by the memory seat module (MSM). When active, power is applied to the seat cushion and seat back heater elements through a common voltage supply circuit. The module controls the seat temperature by providing a pulse width modulated (PWM) ground through the heated seat element control circuits to the seat heater elements. The module then monitors the current flow through the heating elements and the of rate change of the temperature sensors to verify correct heated seat operation.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The MSM must be powered.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B2425 04, B2430 04
The module does not detect a temperature change within 210 seconds.
B2425 0A, B2430 0A
The module detects that the set point temperature has not been reached within 8.5 minutes.
B2425 0B, B2425 0E, B2430 0B, B2430 0E
By measuring output current, the module calculates that the heating element resistance is below the minimum resistance.
B2425 0C, B2425 0D, B2430 0C, B2430 0D
By measuring output current, the module calculates that the heating element resistance is above the maximum resistance.
B2425 1F, B2430 1F
The temperature sensor voltage is erratic or changes suddenly.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The heated seat cushion function for the affected seat will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present , and the power mode changes to OFF then back to ACC or RUN. |
| • | The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

B2425 0B, B2425 0E, B2430 0B, B2430 0E
By measuring output current, the RHSM calculates that the heating element resistance is below the minimum resistance.
B2425 0C, B2445 0D, B2430 0C, B2430 0D
By measuring output current, the RHSM calculates that the heating element resistance is above the maximum resistance.
B2425 1F, B2430 1F
The temperature sensor voltage is erratic or changes suddenly.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The heated seat cushion function for the affected seat will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present , and the power mode changes to OFF then back to ACC or RUN. |
| • | The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Testing
B2425 0A, B2425 0B, B2425 0C, B2425 0D, B2425 0E, B2425 04, or B2425 1F
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the RHSM.
- Test for 2.5-8.5 ohms between control circuit terminal 3 and control circuit terminal 5.
- Disconnect the X2, X4 harness connectors at the RHSM.
- Test for 850-300K ohms between the signal circuit terminal 9 X4 and the low reference circuit terminal 6 X2.
- Connect the X1, X2, X4 harness connectors at the RHSM.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the RHSM.
Important: When measuring the resistance, the resistance values are based on the seat being at room temperature of 20°C (68°F).
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the seat cushion heater element. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test for a short between the control circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal and low reference circuits for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat cushion heater element/temperature sensor. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RHSM. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RHSM. |
