Pinpoint Test AH: DTCs B103B and B1111
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 119, Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) monitors the Thermo-Electric Device (TED) circuits. If a short to ground or voltage on any of these circuits is detected, the DTC(s) will be set.
- DTC B103B (Thermo-Electric Driver Overcurrent Low) - If DCSM outputs to the driver seat backrest or cushion TED (circuit pins G, H, J or K at the DCSM connector) or any components within these circuit loops are shorted to ground or a TED resistance of less than 0.9 ohm is sensed, the DCSM will shut down the driver seat system and set this DTC.
- DTC B1111 (Driver Thermo-Electric Device Control Overtemperature Fault) - If the DCSM TED driver integrated circuit temperature exceeds 175°C (347°F), the DCSM will shut down the driver seat system and set this DTC.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- TED assembly
- DCSM
PINPOINT TEST AH: DTCs B103B AND B1111
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 switch is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
