  3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  4. If the concern is with the power seat (non-memory seat) or the power lumbar and the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and GO to SYMPTOM CHART .
  5. If the concern is with the memory seat or climate controlled seat and the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan tool menu. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
    • Check that the program card is correctly installed.
    • Check the connections to the vehicle.
    • Check the ignition switch position.
  6. If the scan tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the scan tool manual.

    • SCP+, SCP-, or UBP circuit fault; all ECUs no response/not equipped, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
    • No response not equipped for driver DSM, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
    • No response/not equipped for climate controlled seat module, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
    • SYSTEM PASSED for the DSM, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), clear the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the DSM.
    • SYSTEM PASSED for the climate controlled seat module, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), clear the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the climate controlled seat module.
