Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)	Is B14B2 displayed-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B14B2 SEAT HEATER THERMISTOR CIRCUIT SHORT-CIRCUIT (DRIVER)	Even if DTC is displayed, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again. NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
2.CHECK SEAT HEATER LH. 1) Disconnect the seat connector. 2) Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)	Is B14B1 displayed-	Replace the seat heater module.

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
