Heated Seats
This system allows independent seat electrical heating of each front seat on demand.
The components of the system are:
 the seat heater mats located on the seat cushion and backrest.
 the heated seat module located on the passenger power seat track and cushion frame on manual seat track.
 the heated seat switches, located on the HVAC module.
 temperature sensors, located in the seat cushion heater mats.
A new heater mat will come assembled on a new foam pad.
Climate Controlled Seats
The climate controlled seat system is able to heat and cool the front seats. Each climate controlled seat is
operated by push-buttons on the HVAC module located on the instrument panel. Each front seat temperature is
then monitored and controlled by the dual climate control seat module (DCSM) located on the front passenger
seat track.
The dual climate controlled seat system contains the following components:
 HVAC module
 DCSM
 Thermo-electric device (TED) and blower assembly within each front seat cushion and backrest
 Air filter (attached to each TED and blower assembly)
 Cushion TED adapter attached to the cushion frame
 Cushion and backrest manifolds
 Cushion and backrest foam pads
 Cushion and backrest trim covers
Manual Lumbar
The front seat manual lumbar is adjusted by a handle mounted on the side of the seat cushion side shield.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Power Lumbar
The driver seat can have an electromechanical backrest pad adjuster. The lumbar switch adjustment is on the
side of the seat cushion side shield and is part of the seat control switch.
Manual Recline
The manual recline can be adjusted by a handle mounted on the outboard side of the cushion side shield.
Front Seats Without Backrest Fold Flat
Manual recliners on seats that do not fold-flat are only serviceable by installing a new backrest frame assembly.
Passenger Seats With Backrest Fold Flat
Front passenger seats can come with a backrest that folds flat, when optioned with manual recline. The recliners
on this backrest will recline the backrest back or fold the backrest forward. Pull up on the recliner handle
allowing the backrest to recline forward. When the backrest reclines fully forward, if the recliner handle is held
up, the backrest can continue to fold forward until it reaches the fold-flat position. Manual recliners on seats that
fold flat are serviced separately from the backrest frame assembly.
Power Recline
The front seats can come with an electromechanical backrest adjuster. The backrest adjustment switch is located
on the side of the seat cushion side shield and is part of the seat control switch.
Power recliners are serviced separately from the backrest frame assembly. The recliner motor can also be
serviced separately.
Seat Side Air Bags
The driver and passenger seat side air bags are attached to the seat backrest frame. If a seat side air bag
deployment has occurred or for more information, refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
article.
Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System
The occupant classification sensor (OCS) system is standard equipment on all front passenger seats. For
diagnosing or servicing the OCS system, refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM article.
Rear Seats
WARNING: Synchronize the seat recliners following the steps in the seat removal and
installation procedure any time the seat is removed for service. The
following actions may result in the loss of recliner synchronization that
cannot be corrected and may cause the seat back to fail in a crash:
 Dropping the seat

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Sitting on the seat when removed

 Applying any load to the seat when removed
 Removing or loosening any recliner fasteners except for the safety
belt buckle bolt
Install a new seat back frame assembly if the seat recliners cannot be
synchronized. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury to the vehicle occupant(s) in a crash.
The rear seats are a 60/40 split folding/reclining backrest design. The recliner release handle will allow the
backrest to recline as well as fold the backrest forward. When the backrest is folded forward, the front legs of
the seat will fold down (kneel) creating a level load floor with the luggage area. The 60 percent seat has a fold
down armrest with cup holders. The armrest latches to a striker in the backrest frame.
The rear seats can be equipped with the following systems:
 Power fold down backrests

 Heated seats
When the rear seats are removed from the vehicle, the inboard and outboard recliners must be synchronized
before installing the seat back into the vehicle. If the recliners are not synchronized, carry out the
synchronization steps in Seat - Rear, 40 Percent or Seat - Rear, 60 Percent. The recliners must not be moved
from this synchronized position until all the seat-to-floor retainers are tightened to specification. Synchronizing
the recliners may require the recliners to be released. Care must be used when working with the recliners as they
are spring loaded and release with high force.
The 60 percent and 40 percent seat backrest frame assemblies include the backrest frame, anchor brackets and
recliners (inboard and outboard). These parts must be serviced as an assembly. To prevent loss of recliner
synchronization, recliner binding or backrest latch/release failure, the recliner bolts must never be loosened or
removed, except for the safety belt buckle bolt. The backrest frame assemblies are assembled on a fixture not
available for service.
The safety belt buckle bolt is the only bolt on either 40 or 60 percent seat recliner that may be removed for
service. To service the safety belt buckle, refer to SAFETY BELT SYSTEM article.
Power Fold Down Backrest
NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) may also be identified as the generic electronic
module (GEM).
The optional power fold down backrest, in addition to functioning with the manual recline handle, has a
convenient power fold seat control switch mounted in the LH rear quarter trim panel rear hatch area. When the
switch is pushed, left or right, an electromechanical motor releases that seat's recliners, through a cable
attachment, and a spring load folds the backrest down and kneels the front legs. The seat backrest must then be
manually lifted upright to the seating position with the recliners locked in place.

tool with the latest software update with the capability of communicating over the MS-CAN bus.
Principles of Operation
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Driver and Passenger Power Seats Without Memory
The driver and front passenger power seat motors are hardwired to the seat control switches on each respective
seat. The circuits are normally at ground through the seat control switch. Each individual seat track, recliner (if
equipped) and lumbar (if equipped) motor circuit is switched to voltage when the specific adjustment position is
selected.
Power Driver Seat With Memory
NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the memory seat system. Poor
battery condition may interfere with memory seat operation, even if vehicle
starting is possible.
NOTE: A memory recall in progress does not prohibit the initiation of another memory
recall; the most recently requested memory recall will be executed.
The memory driver seat feature allows the driver to program a personalized seat position that can be recalled
using the memory switch or a remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter (if associated). There are 2 memory
settings possible. The power exterior mirror (if equipped) positions are also stored and recalled with the power
driver seat positions.
For information on programming memory positions or recalling a stored memory position, refer to Memory
Position Programming. For information on RKE transmitter programming, refer to HANDLES, LOCKS,
LATCHES & ENTRY SYSTEMS article.
The driver seat module (DSM) is located under the driver seat. To install a new DSM, refer to
MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article. Programmable module installation (PMI) must be
carried out when installing a new DSM. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article.
The driver seat control switch provides voltage to the DSM when activated. The neutral position of each driver
seat control switch position is a ground state through the seat control switch contacts. A voltage input causes the
DSM to power the appropriate motor until the input is removed. Ground is the normal state of the motor circuits
through the DSM and is not switched to control the motors. The DSM internally switches the appropriate circuit
from ground to voltage for operating the motors.
As the seat is adjusted, the DSM constantly monitors the motor position sensors to record the current seat
position. The DSM will remove voltage from the motor upon termination of the seat control switch input or if
the DSM does not see movement from the motor by monitoring the position sensor.
The DSM communicates DTC and other information using the medium-speed controller area network (MS-
CAN) communication bus. It should be noted for diagnostics that because CAN bus communication is more
robust and reliable than other methods, it may be possible to have limited module communication with one of
the CAN bus circuits disconnected or shorted to ground. Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS
NETWORK article for information concerning MS-CAN bus communication.
This service information only diagnoses concerns specific to the memory driver seat. To diagnose an exterior
mirror concern, refer to REAR VIEW MIRRORS article.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Easy Entry/Exit Feature
The easy entry/exit feature moves the driver seat backwards about 50.8 mm (2 in) when the ignition key is
removed from the ignition switch. The DSM receives a key out command over the MS-CAN communication
network and powers the driver seat rearward. This function will not operate if the seat is less than the 50.8 mm
(2 in) travel distance to the end of the track or the function has been disabled. The DSM will also cancel this
operation if a valid input command is received from the driver seat control switch, memory SET switch or
exterior mirror control switch.
The DSM will record the current driver seat positions before powering the seat for an easy exit operation. This
recorded position will be used to return the driver seat to this position on the easy entry operation. During easy
entry operation, the seat is returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation.
The easy entry/exit feature can be enabled/disabled using a scan tool. When enabled, the feature becomes a user
accessible item on the message center allowing the user to turn the feature on and off. Refer to the Owner's
Literature or INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC), MESSAGE CENTER & WARNING CHIMES article for
information on the message center.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter
NOTE: A memory recall in progress does not prohibit the initiation of another memory
recall; the most recently requested memory recall will be executed.
A remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter can be used to recall previously set memory positions but must first
be associated to that memory position. The transmitter associated with personality 1 is capable of recalling
memory position 1 only. Similarly, the associated personality 2 transmitter can recall only memory position 2.
Memory recall occurs when the unlock switch is depressed on the RKE transmitter if it has been associated with
a memory position. The second depression of the unlock switch, which unlocks passenger doors, does not
initiate a memory recall.
For information on diagnosing a RKE concern or associating a RKE transmitter to a memory position, refer to
HANDLES, LOCKS, LATCHES & ENTRY SYSTEMS article.
Driver Seat Module (DSM) Hard Stop/Soft Stop
A hard stop occurs when one of the memory seat track axes or backrest recline physically reach the end of
travel and can go no further. A soft stop occurs when the seat stops before physically reaching the end of travel.
The hard stop is set by seat design and cannot be changed or adjusted. The soft stop is set by the DSM. The seat
track axes are forward/rearward, front up/down and rear up/down. The backrest axis is recline
forward/backward. To prevent unnecessary stress on the seat and motors, the DSM will set soft stop positions, 2
for each moving axis. The DSM will use a preset distance from the hard stop to determine where the soft stop
will occur. When an axis reaches the hard stop and the switch is held for approximately one second, the DSM
establishes the soft stop for that axis in that direction.
Setting the Soft Stop
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
NOTE: If a new DSM or driver seat track has been installed, all driver seat track soft
stops must be reset.
Use the following procedure once a new seat track or DSM has been installed.
During the setting procedure, if the seat track stops before the end of travel has been reached, the DSM has
stopped at a previously set soft stop. To set the new soft stop, release the seat control switch and press again in
the same direction until the seat track stops.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

2. Press the seat control switch horizontal button forward until the seat track stops.
3. Keep the horizontal button pressed forward for one second after the seat track reaches its forward end of
travel. The horizontal forward soft stop has been set, release the switch button.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all seat track axis in both directions.
Heated Seats - Front
Vehicles equipped with front heated seats are equipped with a single-heated seat module to control both front
heated seats. The heated seat module is located under the front passenger seat. The HVAC module includes
both driver and passenger heated seat control buttons and indicators. The heated seat system will function
independently of the vehicle's climate control system. A momentary ground signal is transmitted to the heated
seat module when a heated seat switch button on the HVAC module is depressed and ignition switched voltage
is supplied. Upon receiving each control signal to an input circuit, the heated seat module will decrease one
setting (the sequence is hi, low, OFF, hi, etc.). When a heated seat is set to hi, both LED indicators above that
heated seat's control button will illuminate. When a heated seat is set to low, only one LED indicator above that
switch will illuminate. When activated, the heated seat module supplies voltage to the selected seat's heater
circuit. Each seat's cushion heater mat and backrest heater mat is connected in a series circuit to the heated seat
module and powered by the output circuit for that seat and ground. The heated seat module monitors inputs
from a temperature sensor, located in each seat's cushion heater mat and maintains seat temperature by
regulating current flow to the heater circuits. The heated seat module will remain ON until the heated seat
switch button is depressed to cycle the heated seat module OFF or the ignition switch is set to OFF.
If a fault is detected by the heated seat module, the module will stop supplying voltage to that individual left or
right seat and switch indicator, that the fault was detected on. The faults detected will be: a heater supply circuit
short to battery, ground or open; sensor circuit short to battery or open; heated seat switch stuck closed to
ground. To reset the module, cycle the ignition switch OFF and then ON. After the heated seat module has been
reset, the module will return to an OFF state. The heated seat module does not report DTCs and does not
communicate on any of the controller area networks (CANs).
Heated Seats - Rear
Vehicles equipped with rear heated seats are equipped with a single-heated seat module to control both rear
heated seats. The heated seat module is located under the rear 60 percent seat. The left and right rear heated seat
switches, with indicators, are located in the respective second row door trim panels. A momentary ground signal
is transmitted to the heated seat module when a heated seat switch button is depressed and ignition switched
voltage is supplied. Upon receiving each control signal to an input circuit, the heated seat module will decrease
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
one setting (the sequence is hi, low, OFF, hi, etc.). When a heated seat is set to hi, both LED indicators on the
heated seat switch will illuminate. When a heated seat is set to low, only one LED indicator will illuminate.
When activated, the heated seat module supplies voltage to the selected seat's heater circuit. Each seat's cushion
heater mat and backrest heater mat is connected in a series circuit to the heated seat module and powered by the
output circuit for that seat and ground. The heated seat module monitors inputs from a temperature sensor,
located in each seat's cushion heater mat and maintains seat temperature by regulating current flow to the heater
circuits. The heated seat module will remain ON until the heated seat switch button is depressed to cycle the
heated seat module OFF or the ignition switch is set to OFF.
If a fault is detected by the heated seat module, the module will stop supplying voltage to that individual left or
right seat and switch indicator, that the fault was detected on. The faults detected will be: a heater supply circuit
short to battery, ground or open; sensor circuit short to battery or open; heated seat switch stuck closed to
ground or heated seat switch low and high inputs shorted together. To reset the module, cycle the ignition
switch OFF and then ON. After the heated seat module has been reset, the module will return to an OFF state.
The heated seat module does not report DTCs and does not communicate on any of the controller area networks
(CANs).
Climate Controlled Seat System
NOTE: Avoid applying voltage directly to a thermo-electric device (TED) for testing its
operation. Doing so may cause damage to the TED or shorten its usable life.
NOTE: When installing a new dual climate controlled seat module (DCSM), it is
necessary to carry out programmable module installation (PMI). Refer to
MODULE CONFIGURATION article.
Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the
DCSM mounted under the front passenger seat. The climate controlled seat system only operates with the
engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the DCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with
the ignition switch key ON engine OFF (KOEO). The system receives voltage on 2 fused circuits from the
battery junction box (BJB). If one of the voltage circuits to the DCSM is lost, both seats will remain operational
because the circuits are internally connected in the DCSM. If the system shuts down due to a DTC fault, cycling
the ignition to off and then on again will reset the DCSM to function until the DTC resets.
Both climate controlled seats operate independently. If a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to either climate
controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module and the other will remain operational.
The 4 switches (identified with seat icons) on the HVAC module activate each seat system setting and
illuminate LEDs above each switch to indicate the operating mode, 3 LEDs for HIGH, 2 LEDs for MEDIUM or
1 LED for LOW. The push-buttons with the blue seat icon operate the seat cooling mode and the push-buttons
with the red seat icon operate the seat heating mode.
Each driver and front passenger seat cushion and backrest is equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED)
assembly that includes a seat blower (fan motor, serviced as an assembly with the TED). Cabin air is drawn
through the blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The
TEDs then heat or cool the air depending on the control switch settings. The air is then directed into the foam
pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
system is activated, the DCSM uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the
blower speed dependent on the HVAC seat switch settings.
The temperature differences between the individual heated and cooled settings is minimal. For example, it is
difficult to distinguish between LOW cool and MEDIUM cool settings. Measuring seat temperature at different
settings is possible by monitoring the DCSM PIDs using the scan tool.
The HVAC module communicates climate controlled seat commands to the DCSM using the medium-speed
controller area network (MS-CAN) communication bus. The MS-CAN bus is connected to the data link
connector (DLC) for diagnostic use. No direct connection exists between the DCSM and HVAC for the climate
controlled seat switches. The climate controlled seats can be commanded using the scan tool to verify both
module communication on the MS-CAN bus and operation of the DCSM. This method may be useful for
isolating a control switch concern. It should also be noted that because CAN bus communication is more robust
and reliable than other methods, it may be possible to have limited module communication with one of the CAN
bus circuits disconnected or shorted to ground. Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
article for additional information concerning CAN bus communication.
Heating Characteristics
 In heat mode, the TED circuits of a given seat are wired in parallel internally in the DCSM.
 The climate controlled seat system draws approximately 24 amperes, with both seats heating, until
reaching the set point and then the system operates at a reduced amperage to maintain the climate setting.
 In heat mode, the TED can add up to 40°C-60°C (72°F-108°F) to the ambient inlet air temperature as it
passes over the TED.
 The system control settings are based on the 3 LEDs above each seat heat switch button on the HVAC.
 In the LOW setting, the DCSM is set to maintain TED temperature at approximately 46°C (115°F) (not at
seat surface).
 In the HIGH setting, the DCSM is set to maintain TED temperature at 65°C (149°F) (not at seat surface).
 When heating, the DCSM will vary the speed of the fans and the TED duty cycle in order to reach and
maintain the temperature determined by the switch setting (closed loop operation). Refer to the following
table for heating mode temperatures.
 Seat heating has a maximum operating duration of 15 minutes.
Climate Controlled Seat

Initial Temperature Final Temperature
Heat State
HIGH 90°C (194°F) 65°C (149°F)
MED 80°C (176°F) 60°C (140°F)
LOW 75°C (167°F) 46°C (115°F)
Cooling Characteristics
 In cool mode, the TED circuits of a given seat are wired in series internally in the DCSM.
 The climate controlled seat system draws approximately 7 amps when in cool mode on high setting.
 In cool mode, the TED can remove up to 8°C (14°F) from the ambient inlet air temperature as it passes
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
over the TED.

 The system control settings are based on the 3 LEDs above each seat cool switch button on the HVAC.
 When cooling, the DCSM maintains constant speed of the fans and constant TED supply voltage (duty
cycle) in open loop cool mode. Refer to the following table for cooling mode temperatures.
 Seat cooling has a maximum operating duration of 30 minutes.
Climate Controlled Seat Cool State TED Voltage TED Supply Duty Cycle
HIGH Vbat 100%
MED Vbat 75%
LOW Vbat 50%
The climate controlled seat system is deactivated by one of the following actions:
 Selecting the HVAC module climate control seat switch setting to manual OFF.
 Turning the vehicle OFF.
If the temperature at one of the TEDs falls below 5°C (41°F), the DCSM will shut down the TEDs and initiate
system recovery mode. If the temperature continues to drop below 2°C (36°F), the DCSM will shut down the
affected seat operation.
Climate Controlled Seat System Recovery Mode
NOTE: The presence of overtemperature faults (DTCs B2729, B2730, B272A and
B272B) can be induced by incorrect operation of the climate controlled seat
system after an initial heat setting has been attained. If a heat setting is
repeatedly turned OFF and ON in an attempt to increase the seat temperature or
repeatedly toggled between heat and cool modes, an overtemperature condition
can result and the DTCs will be set.
If the temperature at one of the TEDs rises above 110°C (230°F) in the heat mode or 65°C (149°F) in the cool
mode for more than 4 seconds, the DCSM will record an overtemperature DTC, remove voltage from the TEDs
and go into recovery mode (blower only) for 30 seconds to cool down the TEDs. The same will occur if a
temperature difference of 60°C (108°F) or greater is seen between the backrest and cushion TEDs on either
front seat. The DCSM will continue to monitor the TEDs while in recovery mode. If the temperature of the
TEDs does not drop to 105°C (221°F) in the heat mode or 60°C (140°F) in the cool mode after 30 seconds, the
system will continue to cool the TEDs in recovery mode for up to 5 minutes. If the TEDs cool down at anytime
after 30 seconds, but before 5 minutes (checked at 4 second intervals), the system will operate as normal. An
overtemperature DTC will still be recorded even if the system recovers and is operating normally. Recovery
mode is more likely to occur during extreme cabin temperatures with significant seat back sunload. If the
system does not recover within 30 seconds in heat mode or within 5 minutes in cool mode, the DCSM will
disable that seat (fault mode) and remain off until the ignition is cycled. Also, if the DCSM detects temperature
differential fault twice during the same ignition cycle, it will shut down. When a fault causes a shutdown, the
climate controlled seat indicators will turn off for the affected seat and that seat will not be operational until the
next key cycle.

Second Row Power-Fold Seat
module (GEM).
For the second row power-fold seat to operate, voltage is supplied by the SJB to the power-fold seat relay,
enabling the seats to then be moved by pressing the second row power-fold seat switch. The second row power-
fold seat operates only when the vehicle is in PARK and the liftgate glass or liftgate door is open.
The power-fold seat relay will be provided voltage on the coil side from the SJB for 30 minutes when the
transmission selector is in PARK, and the liftgate, or liftgate glass, is open. The voltage will be disabled 30
minutes after turning the vehicle OFF. If the relay is disabled after 30 minutes, it can be enabled by opening any
door, pressing the unlock key on the key fob, pressing any keyless keypad button or turning the ignition key.
The second row power-fold seat actuators release a locking mechanism allowing the seat backrest to fold down
onto the seat cushion.

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).
NOTE: The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove out confirms power
and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM.
6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM:

 check the VCM connection to the vehicle.
 check the scan tool connection to the VCM.
 refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article, No Power To The Scan Tool, to

diagnose no communication with the scan tool.
7. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
 verify the ignition key is in the ON position.
 verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
 refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article to diagnose no response from the

PCM.
8. Carry out the network test.
 If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to MODULE
COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article.
 If the network test passes, retrieve and record continuous memory DTCs.
9. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the driver seat module (DSM) or
dual climate controlled seat module (DCSM).
10. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to Driver Seat Module (DSM) DTC Chart, go to
Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) DTC Chart or go to Smart Junction Box (SJB) DTC
Chart. For all other DTCs, refer to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article.

WARNING: Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: Electronic modules are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. If exposed to these

charges, damage can result.
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough
inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when taking measurements. Failure to use the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
Refer to Inspection and Verification, Driver Seat Module (DSM) DTC Chart, Dual Climate Controlled
Seat Module (DCSM) DTC Chart, Smart Junction Box (SJB) DTC Chart and/or Symptom Chart for
direction to the appropriate Pinpoint Test.
Pinpoint Test A: The Power Seat is Inoperative - Driver, Without Power Recliner
Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article, Power Seats for schematic and connector
information.
Normal Operation
The driver seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit SBB60 (GN/RD) and is supplied ground
on circuit GD145 (BK/BU). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies that voltage and ground to a power
seat track motor to move the seat. When pressed in the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the
polarity to that same power seat track motor, which moves the seat in the opposite direction. There are 3 power
seat track motors that combine to move the seat cushion horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front
up/down and rear up/down). If a new seat track motor needs to be installed, it is necessary to install an entire
power seat track.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
 Fuse
 Wiring, terminals or connectors
 Seat control switch
PINPOINT TEST A: THE POWER SEAT IS INOPERATIVE - DRIVER, WITHOUT POWER RECLINER
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module
(RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON.
NOTE: The supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be fully operational and free of
faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

information.
Normal Operation
The passenger seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit SBB61 (GY/RD) and is supplied
ground on circuit GD145 (BK/BU). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies that voltage and ground to a
power seat track motor or power recliner motor to move the seat or backrest. When pressed in the opposite
direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to that same power seat track motor or power recliner
motor, which moves the seat or backrest in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that
combine to move the seat cushion horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear
up/down). There is an additional motor in the power recliner mechanism to move the seat backrest forward and
rearward. If a new seat track motor needs to be installed, it is necessary to install an entire power seat track. The
power recline motor is serviced separately.

MKX
Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article, Memory Seats for schematic and connector
information.
Refer to appropriate COMPONENT TESTING article.
Normal Operation
The driver seat control switch is powered by battery voltage on circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) and is supplied ground
on circuit GD133 (BK). When pressed, the seat control switch supplies the voltage and ground to the applicable
driver seat module (DSM) inputs. The DSM then supplies voltage and ground to the appropriate power seat
track motor or power recline motor, based on the inputs received from the seat control switch. When pressed in
the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to the DSM inputs, and the DSM likewise
reverses polarity of the appropriate power seat track motor or power recliner motor circuits causing the seat or
backrest to move in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat
horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). The seat backrest power
recliner uses a single motor to move the seat backrest forward and rearward.
Battery voltage is supplied to DSM circuit SBB60 (GN/RD) and SBP12 (GN/RD). Ground is supplied to DSM
circuit GD145 (BK/BU).
Each motor in the memory power seat track and power recliner contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM
supplies a signal supply circuit to each position sensor and a shared reference signal return circuit. Each position
sensor sends a signal voltage back to the DSM used to monitor the position of the power seat and seat backrest.
The DSM uses this information to return the seat to a stored pre-programmed position when pressing the
memory SET switch or a remote entry transmitter. Refer to Principles of Operation or the Owner's Literature
for information on programming the DSM for storing memory seat positions.
The following pinpoint test diagnoses a memory seat that does not operate in one or more directions when using
the seat control switch. If the memory seat moves in all directions using the seat control switch, go to Pinpoint

the opposite direction, the seat control switch reverses the polarity to the DSM inputs, and the DSM likewise
reverses polarity of the appropriate power seat track motor or power recliner motor circuits causing the seat or
backrest to move in the opposite direction. There are 3 power seat track motors that combine to move the seat
horizontally (forward/rearward) and vertically (front up/down and rear up/down). The seat backrest power
recliner uses a single motor to move the seat backrest forward and rearward.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Each motor in the memory power seat track and power recliner contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM
supplies a signal supply circuit to each position sensor and a shared reference signal return circuit. Each position
sensor sends a signal voltage back to the DSM used to monitor the position of the power seat and seat backrest.
The DSM uses this information to return the seat to a stored pre-programmed position when pressing the
memory SET switch or a remote entry transmitter. Refer to Principles of Operation or the Owner's Literature
for information on programming the DSM for storing memory seat positions.

Each motor in the memory power seat track contains a Hall-effect position sensor. The DSM supplies a signal
supply circuit to each position sensor and a shared reference signal return circuit. Each position sensor sends a
signal voltage back to the DSM used to monitor the position of the power seat. The DSM uses this information
to return the seat to a stored pre-programmed position when pressing the memory SET switch or a remote entry
transmitter. Refer to Principles of Operation or the Owner's Literature for information on programming the
DSM for storing memory seat positions.

Normal Operation
The heated seat module receives ignition voltage on circuit CBP35 (YE/GY), battery voltage on circuit SBB16
(VT/RD) and is supplied ground on circuit GD133 (BK). When ignition switched voltage is supplied and the
driver or passenger heated seat button on the HVAC module is pressed, a momentary ground signal is sent to
the heated seat module to command the system ON or OFF. Upon receiving a signal, the heated seat module
will decrease one setting (the sequence is hi, lo, OFF, hi, etc.). The heated seat module supplies voltage to the
cushion and backrest heater mats, which are connected in series and operate together. A separate ground to the
heater mats is provided on the backrest heater mat. Temperature is maintained by the heated seat module using
a sensor contained within the cushion heater mat. The heated seat module supplies a reference voltage to the
temperature sensor and monitors the return signal from the temperature sensor for controlling current flow to
the heater mats. The heated seat module is designed to remain ON, heating the seat and maintaining temperature

dual climate controlled seat module (DCSM) mounted to the bottom of the passenger seat cushion. The climate
controlled seat system only operates with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the
DCSM, diagnostic testing can be carried out with the ignition switch key ON engine OFF (KOEO). The system
receives voltage from battery junction box (BJB) fuse 16 (30A) supplying battery voltage on circuit SBB16
(VT/RD) into DCSM C3036a pins E and F. If voltage is disconnected from either pin E or F of DCSM C3036a
with the connection remaining on the other circuit, both seats will remain operational because the circuits are
connected internally in the DCSM. However, if a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to either climate controlled
seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the DSCM and the other will remain operational.
Each driver and front passenger seat cushion and backrest are equipped with a thermo-electric device (TED)
TEDs then heat or cool the air. The air is then directed into the foam pad and manifold where it is distributed
along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the DCSM uses a set of

Pinpoint Test AN: DTC B272C - Driver Differential Temperature Fault
Normal Operation
A differential fault occurs when the cushion and backrest TEDs on the seat are reporting temperatures to the
DCSM with a difference between them of 60°C (108°F) or greater. This can result from an air flow restriction
or a circuit fault of either TED. If a TED and manifold is clear of obstruction and is operational, the other TED
and circuitry on the seat should be checked. It is important to note that a TED with a higher temperature may be
operating correctly and not be the area of concern. The other TED may be indicating a much lower temperature,
causing the DTC to set.
 DTC B272C Driver Differential Temperature Fault - If there is a temperature differential between the
driver backrest and cushion TED of 60°C (108°F) or more for more than 4 seconds, the TED is
disconnected or the duct is blocked, this DTC will set. When this happens the first time in a key cycle, the
DCSM puts the driver seat system into recovery mode (see principles of operation). If the system is able
to recover, it will function normally. If the system is able to recover and it occurs a second time in the
same key cycle, the DCSM will shut down the driver seat system.

YES : For DTC B2729, go to Pinpoint Test AK. For DTC B2730, go to Pinpoint Test AP.
NO : Go to AN2.
AN2 MONITOR THE DCSM TED TEMPERATURE PIDs
 Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: DataLogger/DCSM PIDs
 Passenger Cushion Thermal Electric Device (TED) Temperature (PCSHTMP)
 Passenger Back TED Temperature (PBKTMP)
NOTE: Make sure the temperature of the climate controlled seats has
stabilized before monitoring the PIDs. Not allowing stabilization can
 Monitor the TED temperature PIDs with the climate controlled seats OFF. Compare the PID values
of the driver seat to those of the front passenger seat. This can help identify if there is a concern
with the driver seat cushion or backrest PID readings.
 Are both driver seat TED temperature PID values within 10°C (18°F) of the ambient
temperature?
YES : Go to AN3.
NO : If the driver seat cushion PID value varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, go
to AN16.

AN3 CONFIRM THE FAULT IS IN THE SEAT CUSHION OR THE BACKREST


NOTE: If the seat shuts down before a 15-minute heat cycle has timed-out,
carry out the DCSM self test and go to the Dual Climate Controlled
Seat Module (DCSM) DTC Chart to continue diagnostics.
 After cycling the ignition switch and with the engine running, set the driver seat to high heat (3
LEDs illuminated on HVAC module). Allow the seat to heat for at least 15 minutes while
monitoring the TED temperature PIDs of the driver seat. If necessary, when the seat times-out after
15 minutes, set the driver seat to high heat once again.
 Do the driver seat cushion TED and backrest TED PIDs vary more than 60°C (108°F) from
each other?
YES : If the driver seat cushion PID value is 60°C (108°F) hotter than the backrest PID value, go to
AN5.
If the driver seat backrest PID value is 60°C (108°F) hotter than the cushion PID value, go to
AN20.
NO : Go to AN4.
AN4 CHECK THE TEDs COOLING PERFORMANCE
 Check the TEDs cooling performance on the driver seat. Refer to Component Test - Thermo-
Electric Device (TED) Cooling Performance.
 Did the TEDs pass the component test?
YES : The DTC may have been set by extreme cabin temperatures or excessive sun-load on the
seat causing the system to enter recovery mode. Occupant size and weight characteristics can also
be a factor. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation. If a
concern cannot be found or duplicated, RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
NO : CHECK the affected seat cushion or backrest for correct installation of the climate controlled
seat components (TED, manifold, air ducts and foam pad). CHECK for airflow restrictions (TED
inlets and outlets, TED-to-manifold connections, filters and ducts) and REPAIR as needed.

Pinpoint Test AO: DTC B272D - Passenger Differential Temperature Fault
Normal Operation
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
A differential fault occurs when the cushion and backrest TEDs on the seat are reporting temperatures to the
DCSM with a difference between them of 60°C (108°F) or greater. This can result from an air flow restriction
or a circuit fault of either TED. If a TED and manifold is clear of obstruction and is operational, the other TED
and circuitry on the seat should be checked. It is important to note that a TED with a higher temperature may be
operating correctly and not be the area of concern. The other TED may be indicating a much lower temperature,
causing the DTC to set.
 DTC B272D Passenger Differential Temperature Fault - If there is a temperature differential between the
passenger backrest and cushion TED of 60°C (108°F) or more for more than 4 seconds, the TED is
disconnected or the duct is blocked, this DTC will set. When this happens the first time in a key cycle, the
DCSM puts the passenger seat system into recovery mode (see principles of operation). If the system is
able to recover, it will function normally. If the system is able to recover and it occurs a second time in
the same key cycle, the DCSM will shut down the passenger seat system.

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
AO1 CHECK THE DCSM FOR DTCs

 Was DTC B272A or B272B retrieved in the self-test as an on-demand or a continuous DTC?
YES : For DTC B272A, go to Pinpoint Test AL. For DTC B272B, go to Pinpoint Test AM.
NO : Go to AO2.
AO2 MONITOR THE DCSM TED TEMPERATURE PIDs
 Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: DataLogger/DCSM PIDs
 Passenger cushion thermal electric device (TED) temperature (PCSHTMP)
 Passenger back TED temperature (PBKTMP)
NOTE: Make sure the temperature of the climate controlled seats has
stabilized before monitoring the PIDs. Not allowing stabilization can
 Monitor the TED temperature PIDs with the climate controlled seats off. Compare the PIDs of the
front passenger seat to those of the driver seat, this can help identify if there is a concern with the
front passenger seat cushion or backrest PID readings.
 Are both front passenger seat TED temperature PIDs within 10°C (18°F) of the ambient
temperature?
YES : Go to AO3.
NO : If the front passenger seat cushion PID varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature,
go to AO16.
If the front passenger seat backrest PID varies 10°C (18°F) or more from ambient temperature, go
to AO31.
AO3 CONFIRM THE FAULT IS IN THE SEAT CUSHION OR THE BACKREST


NOTE: If the seat shuts down before a 15-minute heat cycle has timed-out,
Microsoft

carry out the DCSM self test and go to the Dual Climate Controlled
Seat Module (DCSM) DTC Chart to continue diagnostics.
 After cycling the ignition switch and with the engine running, set the driver seat to high heat (3
LEDs illuminated on HVAC module). Allow the seat to heat for at least 15 minutes while
monitoring the TED temperature PIDs of the driver seat. If necessary, when the seat times-out after
15 minutes, set the driver seat to high heat once again.
 Do the driver seat cushion TED and backrest TED PIDs vary more than 60°C (108°F) from
each other?
YES : If the front passenger seat cushion PID is 60°C (108°F) hotter than the backrest PID, go to
AO5.
If the front passenger seat backrest PID is 60°C (108°F) hotter than the cushion PID, go to AO20.
NO : Go to AO4.
AO4 CHECK THE TED COOLING PERFORMANCE
 Check the TEDs cooling performance on the passenger seat. Refer to Component Test - Thermo-
Electric Device (TED) Cooling Performance.
 Did the TEDs pass the component test?
YES : The DTC may have been set by extreme cabin temperatures or excessive sun-load on the
seat causing the system to enter recovery mode. Occupant size and weight characteristics can also
be a factor. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation. If a
concern cannot be found or duplicated, RETURN the vehicle to the customer.
NO : CHECK the affected seat cushion or backrest for correct installation of the climate controlled
seat components (TED, manifold, air ducts and foam pad). CHECK for airflow restrictions (TED
inlets and outlets, TED-to-manifold connections, filters and ducts) and REPAIR as needed.
CHECK for an intermittent wiring fault. REPAIR as needed. REPEAT the self-test. CLEAR the

Component Test
Component Testing - Thermo-Electric Device (TED) Cooling Performance
NOTE: This test is intended to check the cooling mode performance of an operational
climate controlled seat backrest or cushion thermo-electric device (TED) and
verify it is cooling inlet air at the TED (ambient cabin air) between 6-8°C (10-14°
F).
NOTE: Make sure the vehicle is out of direct sunlight and is in an area with a stable air
temperature when testing the climate controlled seat system.
NOTE: For correct temperature measurements, the seat being tested should be
occupied.
1. Enter DataLogger and monitor the following DCSM PIDs:

 CSHTEMP (Cushion Thermal Electric Device [TED] Temperature)
 BK_TEMP (Back Thermal Electric Device [TED] Temperature)
 PCSHTMP (Passenger Cushion Thermal Electric Device [TED] Temperature)
 PBKTMP (Passenger Back Thermal Electric Device [TED] Temperature)
 DCCSMOD (Driver Climate Controlled System State)
 PCCSMOD (Passenger Climate Controlled System State)
2. Any initial PID value of greater than 205°C (401°F) or less than 2°C (36°F) indicates a system hardware
failure. Do not proceed with this test. Go to Symptom Chart or Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module
(DCSM) DTC Chart for diagnosis.
NOTE: Typical backrest and cushion TED shown in illustration, others similar.
3. Gain access to the seat backrest and cushion TEDs and use a suitable thermo-couple temperature
measuring device to monitor the air inlet temperature.
 Access the backrest TED.
 Release the backrest trim cover J-clips at the sides and bottom.
 Pull out at the bottom and detach the 2 lower hard back panel pin-type retainers.
 Position the backrest trim cover out of the way.
 Place the temperature probe near each TEDs air filter.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Fig. 357: Using Scan Tool To Measure Cushion TED PID Temperature
NOTE: The engine must be running to operate the climate controlled seat system
and carry out this test.
4. Operate system in high cool mode and measure the temperature at the cushion TED filter using the
thermo-couple device.
 Obtain and record the air inlet temperature at the TED.
5. Use a scan tool to measure the cushion TED PID temperature and record the value.
 Monitor the MODE PID and verify the system is operating. If during testing the PID value changes
to Blower Only state, the system has entered into recovery mode and voltage to the TEDs is
disabled. If this occurs, the seat has failed the test. Do not continue. Return to the diagnostic
routine.
6. Subtract the cushion TED PID temperature from the cushion air inlet temperature and record the
temperature difference value.
7. Continue to operate the system in high cool mode and use the thermo-couple device to measure the
temperature at the backrest TED filter.
 Obtain and record the air inlet temperature at the TED.
 Secure the temperature probe at the backrest TED air filter and close the backrest trim cover
before measuring.
8. Use a scan tool to measure the backrest TED PID temperature and record the value.
 Monitor the MODE PID and verify the system is operating. If during testing the PID value changes
to Blower Only state, the system has entered into recovery mode and voltage to the TEDs is
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
disabled. If this occurs, the seat has failed the test. Do not continue. Return to the diagnostic
routine.
9. Subtract the backrest TED PID temperature from the backrest air inlet temperature and record the value.
10. Compare the cushion and backrest calculated temperature values. Both values should be between 6°-8°C
(10.8°-14.4°F) and approximately equal (±1°C [±1.8°F]).
11. If the calculated temperature values are not within these specifications, check the climate controlled seat
components for air duct or filter restrictions, blockages, duct or electrical disconnections and for incorrect
assembly. Repair as needed. If OK, carry out the DCSM self-test and if any DTC is retrieved, go to Dual
Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) DTC Chart for diagnostic direction. Return to the
diagnostic routine.
