REPAIR the circuit. GO to K7

K6 CHECK THE SCME (FRONT SEAT CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Ignition OFF. Disconnect and inspect all of the SCME connectors. Repair:

corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins) damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins as necessary pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the SCME connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

NOTE: Do not reconnect Passenger Side Airbag In-line C219 at this time. Reconnect all previously disconnected connectors. Ignition ON. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes

CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new SCME. REFER to: Front Seat Climate Control Module [SCME] (501-10A Front Seats, Removal and Installation). GO to K7

No

The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues. GO to K7

K7 VERIFY THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) PROVES OUT SUCCESSFULLY

REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures). Connect: Passenger Side Airbag In-line C219. Connect all previously disconnected connectors.

REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Repowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures).

Did the SRS prove out successfully?

Yes

Repair is complete. RETURN the vehicle to the customer.

No

REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Diagnosis and Testing).

DTCs B103B and B1111

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The SCME monitors the backrest and cushion blower motor circuits. If a short to ground or voltage on any of these circuits is detected, the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will be set.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC

Description

Fault Trigger Conditions

B103B Thermoelectric Driver

Overcurrent Low

If SCME outputs to the driver seat backrest or cushion blower motor (circuit pins G, H, J or K at the SCME connector) or any components within these circuit loops are shorted to ground or a blower motor resistance of less than 0.9 ohm is sensed, the SCME shuts down the driver seat system and sets this DTC.

B1111

Driver Thermal Electric Device Control Overtemperature Fault

If the SCME blower motor driver integrated circuit temperature exceeds 175° C (347° F), the SCME shuts down the driver seat system and sets this DTC.

Possible Causes

Wiring, terminals or connectors Backrest blower motor Cushion blower motor SCME

PINPOINT TEST L : DTCS B103B AND B1111

WARNING: Incorrect repair techniques or actions can cause an accidental Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) deployment. Never compromise or depart from these instructions. Failure to precisely follow all instructions could result in serious personal injury from an accidental deployment.
