Hello!
I've originally had heated standard seats in my car but I decided to retrofit sport seats (with heating + "all the side buttons"
). Two weeks after the retrofit, when I've started the car I've had a yellow "car on a ramp" sign which made me scan the car for codes and I've found out that it had a new code, 2DED - power management.
From what I've read about the 2DED code it made me think that it's coming from a bad seat heating module, so I've just taken the ones from the old seats and put them in the new ones, but the code is still there.
As a note:
- After i've deleted the codes, no warning light has ever been triggered since ~ 2 months but the code is still present when I scan for it.
- When I did the retrofit i've linked together the wires from the seat heating with the ones from lumbar support so I won't have to get a wire from the junction box to the seats. Also, because I haven't linked the wires to the junction box, I haven't coded the option on the car.
- When I did the retrofit i've moved over the airbags & seatbelt restraint system from the old chairs to the new ones.
- I've been always very careful and never used heated seats and the "Side seat buttons" at the same time
- The car battery does not discharge over night, I can maybe leave the car off for about
- I've checked the battery drain when the car is sleeping, it's between 0.0 and 0.01 A (i don't have a smaller scale on the device) so it's in the parameters, yet, the code is still stored
- I also have an android screen installed.. maybe it's just a coincidence that the 2DED code came after i've retrofitted the seats? Hilariously enough my car is full of retrofits (PDC, Mirror with Auto-Dim/Compass/Homelink retrofitted before the seats and CIC after the seats - the code was already there when I started retrofitting it), but the only retrofit I haven't done "properly" by linking the cables straight to the designated pin in the junction box is the seats one.
I've also taken my car to the stealership and after bargaining with them for about 45 minutes (they didn't want to take my car in because of the retrofits
) they finally decided to take my car & test it (they made me sign some papers that any damage done to the car by them is my fault ). They did not want to do a current draw test on each individual fuse, they just plugged in and did an "Energy Diagnosis" with INPA - what they told me is that the FRM couldn't communicate with a some of the modules from the car because of the "illegal" retrofits I've done to my car and they only found a shortcircuit on the rear-right side lamp which has been taken care of.
Do you guys have any ideeas about this issue? The next thing I want to do is to put the "side seat buttons" on a separate circuit linked directly to the junction box and code the option on the car & probably change the FRM right after since those tend to go bad all the time and mine has some symptoms that it's about to fail - right passenger window is losing it's memory sometimes or has trouble retaining a memory setting.
