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.
Diagnosis And Testing - Heated Seat Module
In order to obtain conclusive testing, the heated seat system and the Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus circuit must be checked. Any diagnosis of the heated seat system should begin with, the use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out information.
Vehicles equipped with the heated seat option utilize a low voltage cut-off feature. This feature turns off power to the heated seat system anytime vehicle voltage is below 11.7v or above 15.5v. Be certain to check the vehicle electrical system for proper voltage anytime the power seat system appears inoperative.
Before any testing of the heated seat system is attempted, the battery should be fully-charged.
