3.CHECK HARNESS. 1) Turn the ignition switch to ON. 2) Turn the seat heater switch LH to ON. 3) Using the tester, measure the voltage between terminals. Connector & terminal (R341) No. 2 (+) — (R341) No. 6 (−):	Is the voltage 4.5 — 5.0 V-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B14B2 SEAT HEATER THERMISTOR CIRCUIT SHORT-CIRCUIT (DRIVER)	Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
4.CHECK HARNESS (SHORTED BETWEEN LINES AND SHORTED TO GROUND). 1) Disconnect the A/C CM connector. 2) Using a tester, check continuity between terminals. Connector & terminal (R341) No. 2 — (R341) No. 6: (R341) No. 2 — Chassis ground:	Is there continuity-	Repair or replace the short circuit of the harness.	Replace the A/C CM. Control Unit > REMOVAL
