Circuit/System Description
The driver and passenger heated seat heating elements are controlled by a common high current relay internal to the memory seat module (MSM) and the low side by individual element control circuits. The MSM connects the heated seat heater element supply voltage circuits for both seats to a common reference point. This reference point is biased to approximately 2.0 volts. Before the MSM will allow heated seat operation, it checks to see if this reference voltage is shorted to ground or battery voltage. Once the module verifies that it is not closing to a shorted heating element, it allows heated seat operation. After which it continues to monitor for a shorted circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The MSM must be powered.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B2345 13
Any temperature sensor input that remains below 1.5 volts for more than 1 second.
B2345 42
This DTC will set if the module calibration data set is not present.
B2345 4B
This DTC will set if the module calibration is out of range.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The heated seat function for both seats will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The current DTC will clear and set the code to history 3 seconds after the reference voltage returns to the normal operating range and the ignition is cycled OFF then back to ACC or RUN. |
| • | The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Testing
B2345 13
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2, X5 harness connectors at the MSM.
- Test for greater than 3.0K ohms between the signal circuit and the low reference circuits listed below:
- Test for greater than 2.4K ohms between the signal circuit and the low reference circuits listed below:
- If all circuits test normal, replace the MSM.
| • | Driver seat cushion terminal 1 X5 and terminal 3 X2 |
| • | Passenger seat cushion terminal 2 X5 and terminal 6 X2 |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate seat cushion temperature sensor. |
| • | Driver seat back terminal 4 X5 and terminal 2 X2 |
| • | Passenger seat back terminal 3 X5 and terminal 5 X2 |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test for a short between the signal and low reference circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate seat back temperature sensor. |
B2345 42 or B2345 4B
If either DTC is set, replace the MSM.
