- In COOL mode, the TED circuits of a given seat are wired in series internally in the DCSM.
- The climate controlled seat system draws approximately 10 amps for the first 12 minutes and will operate at 2 amps thereafter.
- In COOL mode, the TED can remove up to 8°C (14°F) from the ambient air temperature entering the system.
- There are 3 manual settings based on the LEDs above each seat cool switch button on the EATC. The first setting is HIGH (3 LEDs), the second setting is MED (2 LEDs) and the third is LOW (1 LED) then OFF (no LEDs).
- If the temperature at one of the TEDs falls below 5°C (41°F), the climate controlled seat module will shut down the TEDs. If the temperature continues to drop below 2°C (36°F), the climate controlled seat module will shut down the blower motors.
- When cooling, the DCSM maintains constant speed of the fans and constant TED supply voltage (duty cycle) in open loop COOL mode.
- Seat cooling has a maximum operating duration of 30 minutes.VOLTAGE CHART

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
