Diagnostic Instructions
- Perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt900-2006-2014/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
- Review «Strategy Based Diagnosis»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt900-2006-2014/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__strategy-based-diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
- «Diagnostic Procedure Instructions»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt900-2006-2014/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__diagnostic-procedure-instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Diagnostic Fault Information
| Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage |
| B+ | 1 | 1 | |
| Ground | | 1 | 1 |
| 1. Heated/Cooled cup holder Malfunction |
Circuit/System Description
The Heated/Cooled cup holder system uses a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) ceramic element. The PTC is attached to the side of an aluminum cylinder that forms the cup holder to provide the temperature change. B+ will either heat or cool the PTC element in the cup holder. Voltage applied in one direction heats the element and cools it when the polarity is reversed. A momentary switch on the console surface operates the unit. It offers off, heat and cool settings. The cup holders have a temperature range that heats to 140°F or cools to 35°F. A light in the switch glows red to indicate heating and blue to indicate cooling.

Diagnostic Aids
If heating or cooling is insufficient make sure the air vents on either side of the console are not blocked in any way.
Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, turn the Heated/Cooled cup holder ON. Feel the inside of the Heated/Cooled cup holder it should feel warm or cool to the touch within a few minutes depending on the switch position.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Heated/Cooled cup holder.
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal A and ground. If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- 2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal D and ground. If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test or replace the Heated/Cooled cup holder.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Heated/Cooled cup holder.
