Circuit/System Description
The driver and passenger heated seat heating elements are controlled by a common high current relay internal to the heated seat module (HSM) and by individual low side element control circuits. The HSM connects the heater element supply voltage circuits for both seats to a common reference point. This reference point is biased to approximately 2 volts. Before the HSM will allow heated seat operation, it checks to see if the heating element supply voltage circuits and control circuits are shorted to ground or voltage. Once the module verifies that it is not closing into a shorted heating element, it allows heated seat operation. After which it continues to monitor for a shorted a circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The HSM must be powered.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B2345 00
After the heated seat is activated, the HSM detects a short on either the heating element supply voltage circuit or control circuit.
B2345 13
Any temperature sensor input that remains below 1.5 volts for more that 1 second.
B2345 42
This DTC will set if the module calibration is not programmed.
B2345 4B
This DTC will set if the module calibration is out of range.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The heated seat function for both seats will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The current DTC will clear and set the code to history 3 seconds after the reference voltage returns to normal operating range and the ignition is cycled OFF then back to ACC or RUN. |
| • | The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Testing
B2345 00
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C1 harness connector at the HSM.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the HSM.
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. |
B2345 13
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C2, C4 harness connector at the HSM.
- Test for greater than 1.9K ohms between the signal and low reference circuits listed below:
- If all circuits test normal, replace the HSM.
| • | Driver seat cushion terminal 9 C4 and terminal 6 C2 |
| • | Passenger seat cushion terminal 20 C4 and terminal 8 C2 |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate seat temperature sensor. |
B2345 42 or B2345 4B
If either DTC is set, replace the HSM.
