Fold and Stow Seats






B210D - Battery Voltage Low






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.

When Monitored: Engine running, during seat motor operation.

Set Condition: This code is set immediately after the folding seat module receives a low charging system voltage message over the CAN interior bus or detects voltage under 9.5 volts on the fused B+ circuit.






Test Step 1 - Check PCM/ECM for charging system DTC

With the scan tool, read ECM/PCM DTCs.

Are there any charging system DTCs set in the ECM/PCM?

Yes

Refer to => Non - DTC Based Diagnostics.

No

Go to Test Step 2 => [ Test
Step 2 - Test for Intermittent Condition ]

Test Step 2 - Test for Intermittent Condition

With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.

Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position then start the engine and operate the folding seat.

With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the scan tool display this DTC?

Yes

Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test
Step 3 - B+ Circuit OPEN ]

No

The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.

Perform Power Folding Seat System Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Power Folding Seat System Verification Test

Test Step 3 - B+ Circuit OPEN






Turn the ignition OFF.

Gain access to the power folding seat C392 12 way in - line connector.

Start the engine and let idle.

Backprobe and measure the voltage on the B+ circuit at the in - line harness connector and compare to voltage at the vehicle battery.

Is the voltage at the B+ circuit the same as measured at the battery?

Yes

Go to Test Step 4 => [ Test
Step 4 - Ground Circuit Open ]

No

Repair the B+ circuit as necessary.

Test Step 4 - Ground Circuit Open






Using a 12 volt test light connected to 12 volts, check the ground circuit at the C392 12 way in - line harness connector.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes

Test the B+ and the ground circuits from the C392 12 way in - line connector to the folding seat module C1 connector and repair if necessary, if both circuits are OK replace the folding seat module.

No

Repair the ground circuit as necessary.
