   1. Yes – proceed to Step 2.
   2. No – this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-10.

2. Perform a self-test of the SCME. Are any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) present?
   1. Yes – this article does not apply. Refer to WSM, Section 501-10.
   2. No – proceed to Step 3.

3. Is the vehicle built on or before 1/21/2015?

   2. No – proceed to Step 4.

4. Is the vehicle built on 1/22/2015 and through 2/20/2015?

      1. Enter the Programmable Parameters menu and select Climate Control Seats.
      2. Under Climate Control Seats, individually select each parameter on the left side, then click the appropriate vehicle level on the right for each selection. Click the blue check when completed. The asterisk should now move to the correct vehicle level at right, and each item at left should have the correct description according to the application selected. Once all three have been selected as shown in the chart below, click the blue check and follow on-screen prompts to completion. Proceed to Step 6.
