B2181






B2181-HEATED SEAT MODULE POWER SUPPLY LOW







- When Monitored:
With ignition on.

- Set Condition:
If the Heated Seat Module (HSM) detects voltage under 10 volts on the (P693) Fused Run Relay Output circuit.





1. CHECK FOR CHARGING SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) DTCs.

Are there any Charging System DTCs set in the ECM or PCM?

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the HSM connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

3. Start the engine and let idle.
4. Measure the voltage of the (P693) Fused Run Relay Output circuit between the HSM connector and ground and compare it to the voltage at the vehicle battery.

Is the voltage measured at the HSM connector the same as the voltage measured at the battery?

Yes

- Replace the Heated Seat Module (HSM).
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Repair the (P693) Fused Run Relay Output circuit for the cause of the low voltage condition at the HSM.
