Accessories).



Condition



Some customers may comment about a no crank/no start condition or a discharged or low battery.



Note



This condition may be intermittent, therefore it is important to check if a revised calibration has been released on TIS2WEB for this concern, even



if the condition cannot be duplicated at the dealer.



Cause



This condition may be caused by the rear heated seat module (RHSM) discharging the battery by keeping the serial data bus active, which creates a



cumulative continuous draw of four amps on the battery after the vehicle is shut down, until the state of charge reaches three volts.



Correction



Important



DO NOT replace the RHSM or the battery for this concern.



Reprogram the RHSM with the latest software calibration.



Important



Select the correct calibration files for the appropriate vehicle configuration (body style) and RPO codes.



A revised calibration has been developed to address this condition. Technicians are to reprogram the RHSM using the Service Programming



System (SPS) with the latest software available on TIS2WEB. Refer to the Service Programming System (SPS) procedures in SI.



When using a Tech 2(R) or a Multiple Diagnostic Interface (MDI) for reprogramming, ensure that it is updated with the latest software version.



During programming, the battery voltage must be maintained within the proper range of 12-15 volts. Only use the approved Midtronics(R) PSC 550



Battery Maintainer (SPS Programming Support Tool EL-49642) or equivalent during programming.
