Heated Seat Module: Description
Vehicles equipped with heated seats utilize two heated seat modules. The heated seat modules (Fig 1) are located under the front seats, where they are secured to the seat cushion pans. The left heated seat module controls the left heated seat, and the right controls the right. Each heated seat module has three connector receptacles that allow the modules to be connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through the seat wire harness.
The heated seat modules are an electronic microprocessor controlled device designed and programmed to use inputs from the ignition switch, heated seat switch and the heated seat sensor to operate and control the heated seat elements in the front seat.
The heated seat modules cannot be repaired. If either of the heated seat modules are damaged or faulty, the entire module must be replaced.
