Signal Too High. Permanent Fault






Signal too high. Permanent fault

Checking cables
Check the signal cable between climate control module (CCM) terminal #A9 and left seat heater module terminal A#2. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.

Note! If the seat heater is activated at high or low level, the signal in the cable is pulsed between approximately 0 V and battery voltage.

Check that the power supply to the seat heater module is OK between connectors A#1 (ground) and A#4 (battery voltage).
The ignition must be on during this check.
For further information about the circuit before the seat heater module, refer to the "Wiring diagrams" Service Manual. Try a new seat heater module if the signal cable and power supply is OK.
Remedy as necessary.
