CAUTION: If DTC B106F is present and the DSM is to be replaced, the fault condition must be corrected first. Failure to correct the fault condition first may cause damage to the new DSM, resulting in a repeat repair.
  1. B1 REVIEW THE DTCs 
    • Review the DTCs from the DSM self-test.
    • Is only DTC B106F present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new DSM. REFER to Driver Seat Module (DSM) . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : CORRECT any DTCs present other than DTC B106E (DTC B106F may also be present). REFER to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart . After the repair, go to  B2.
  2. B2 CARRY OUT THE DSM SELF-TEST 
    • Carry out the DSM self-test.
    • Is only DTC B106F present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new DSM. REFER to Driver Seat Module (DSM) . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern was caused by a fault in one of the output circuits, which is no longer present.
