11 | Probe the heated seat control module inhibit signal circuit of the heated seat module with a test lamp that is connected to battery positive voltage. Does the test lamp illuminate? | -- | Go to Step 18 | Go to Step 12 |
12 |
Does the resistance measure less than the specified value? | 5 ohms | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 13 |
13 |
Does the resistance measure less than the specified value? | 5 ohms | Go to Step 23 | Go to Step 24 |
14 |
Important: If the resistance is measured with the seat still warm, the resistance may vary outside of the specified range since the thermistor resistance varies with temperature. Measure the resistance between the temperature sensor signal circuit and the sensor low reference circuit of the heated seat module connector. Does the resistance measure within the specified range? | 850 ohms-11,500 ohms | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 23 |
