Pinpoint Test AO : DTC B272F: Notes

Pinpoint Test AO: DTC B272F 

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Climate Controlled Seats , for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation 

The passenger climate controlled seat blowers are located within the backrest and cushion Thermo-Electric Devices (TEDs). The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) supplies voltage and ground to both blowers. The blowers are independently controlled by separate speed control circuits from the DCSM.

• DTC B272F (Passenger Ignition Run/Blower Circuit Short to Ground) - If either the blower voltage supply or return circuits are open (to both cushion and backrest blowers) or shorted to voltage, the DTC is set and after 4-6 seconds the DCSM disables outputs to the passenger seat. The DTC also sets if the blower voltage supply or return circuit is open to only one blower when DCSM supply voltage is less than 12 volts.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following: 

• Wiring, terminals or connectors
• HVAC module
• Backrest or cushion TED
• DCSM
