Check For Air Flow Specific DTCs Diagnostic Guidance Notes
B120F-98
Once the diagnostic process detailed above has been carried out and it has been identified that B122E-98 there has not been a failure of any of the climate units, then refer back to the relevant climate B122F-98 system DTC codes that have been recorded B1230-98 DTC codes listed that end in 7A or 98 indicate a possible air leak or air flow restriction within the B1231-7A system B1232-7A In these circumstances, starting with the seat base check all ducting connections for correct engagement and inspect ducting for signs of damage which could result in an air leak (for connection issues re-connect and test system). Only in the event of finding damage to the ducting of one of the units should the unit be replaced. Note that only the specific unit should be replaced Due to the design function of the system, both climate units in any one seat operate integrally. Therefore, if an issue is detected in one of the units then both units are shut down to protect the system until next ignition cycle. Under these circumstances, only replace the damaged unit and DO NOT replace both units DTC Index
NOTES:
If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the
warranty policy and procedures manual, or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation
of a new module/component.
Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only five digit codes. Match the five digits from the scan
tool to the first five digits of the seven digit code listed to identify the fault (the last two digits give additional information
read by the manufacturer approved diagnostic system).
