Answer
Lets check the computers for codes:

DISREGARD previous response. You do NOT have thje below system on your vehicle. You will need to have a scanner put on the vehicle to extract the FAULT CODES>

My mistake.






1. Ignition ON. Engine OFF.

2. Simultaneously push and hold for 3 seconds the OFF and WARMER buttons and then release them.

3. Fault CODES will start to appear and will stop at .7.0

4. Write down all the codes EXACTLY in the order in which they display and let me know what they are.


5. turn ignition OFF.
