Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The heated seat temperature sensor that set this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is located in the seat cushion just under the seat cover with the seat
heating element. The rear seat heating control module supplies a 5 V reference voltage through the temperature sensor signal circuit and a ground
through the low reference circuit to the sensor. The module monitors the voltage of the sensor signal circuit to determine the temperature of the
seat. The temperature sensor varies in resistance based on the temperature of the heating element causing the signal voltage to change. Once the seat
reaches the set temperature, the module will then cycle the control circuit of the heating elements ON and OFF in order to maintain the desired seat
temperature based on the feedback voltage from the sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* DTC B1325 must not be present.
* The rear seat heating control module must be powered.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B1925 02 or B2170 02
The temperature sensor voltage drops below 0.6 V for more than 1 second.
