- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST Body Verification Test.

2. INSPECT FOR OPEN PDC FUSE # 40




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Check PDC fuse # 40.

Is the fuse open?

Yes

- Check for a possible short to ground on the (F23) Fused Run/Start Relay Output circuit. Reinstall or replace the fuse as necessary.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 3

3. CHECK (F23) FUSED RUN/START RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN




1. Disconnect the Left Heated Seat Switch connector.

NOTE: Check connectors. Clean and repair as necessary.

2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Measure the Voltage of the (F23) Fused Run/Start Relay Output circuit between the Left Heated Seat Switch connector and ground.

Is the Voltage above 10.0 Volts?

Yes

- Go To 4

No

- Repair the (F23) Fused Run/Start Relay Output circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST Body Verification Test.

4. CHECK (P81) LEFT HEATED SEAT LOW INDICATOR DRIVER CIRCUIT VOLTAGE AT CLUSTER




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Reconnect the Left Heated Seat Switch connector.
3. Disconnect the Cluster C3 connector.

NOTE: Check connectors. Clean and repair as necessary.

4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Measure the Voltage of the (P81) Left Heated Seat Low Indicator Driver circuit between the Cluster C3 connector and ground.

Is the Voltage above 10.0 Volts?

Yes

- Replace the Cluster.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 5

5. CHECK (P81) LEFT HEATED SEAT LOW INDICATOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Left Heated Seat Switch connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (P81) Left Heated Seat Low Indicator Driver circuit between ground and the Left Heated Seat Switch connector.

Is the resistance below 10K ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (P81) Left Heated Seat Low Indicator Driver circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 6

6. CHECK (P81) LEFT HEATED SEAT LOW INDICATOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (Z909) GROUND CIRCUIT




1. Measure the resistance between the (P81) Left Heated Seat Low Indicator Driver circuit and the (Z909) Ground circuit at the Left Heated Seat Switch connector.

Is the resistance below 10K ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (P81) Left Heated Seat Low Indicator Driver circuit for a short to the (Z909) Ground circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 7

7. CHECK (P81) LEFT HEATED SEAT LOW INDICATOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN




1. Measure the resistance of the (P81) Left Heated Seat Low Indicator Driver circuit between the Cluster C3 connector and the Left Heated Seat Switch connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Replace the Left Heated Seat Switch.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST Body Verification Test.

No

- Repair the (P81) Left Heated Seat Low Indicator Driver circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST Body Verification Test.
