Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The heated seat back function for the affected seat will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present and the power mode changes to OFF then back to ACC or RUN.
* The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing
B1935 0A, B1935 0B, B1935 0C, B1935 0D, B1935 0E, B1935 04, or B1935 1F
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the HSM.
Important: Element resistance must be measured twice to ensure that all failure conditions are simulated. First with the seat
unoccupied, then with the seat occupied.
2. Test for 3.5 - 11.5 Ohms between control circuit terminal 3 and control circuit terminal 1.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test for a short between the control circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat back heater
element.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat back
heater element.
3. Disconnect the X2, X4 harness connectors at the HSM.
4. Test for 850 Ohms - 300 kOhms between the signal circuit terminal 19 X4 and the low reference circuit terminal 5 X2.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat
back heater element/temperature sensor.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal and low reference circuits for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits
test normal, replace the seat back heater element/temperature sensor.
5. Connect the X1, X2, X4 harness connectors at the HSM.
6. Disconnect the harness connector at the seat back heater element/temperature sensor.
7. Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace
the HSM.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HSM.
8. If all circuits test normal, replace the HSM.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the HSM.
