Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Heated Seat Module
When commanded by the heated seat switch, the heated seat module monitors the appropriate seat cushion temperature sensor(s) and supplies heater current to the seat cushion and backrest heater mats until the desired setpoint temperature is reached. Once the setpoint temperature is reached, the heated seat module cycles the heater circuits on/off as required to maintain the setpoint temperature. The heated seat module does not report Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and does not communicate on any network. If the heated seat module detects a fault, the affected seat system is disabled.
