Heated Seat Sensor - 2ND Row Seats: Description
Four heated seat sensors are used per vehicle. One sensor is located in each heated seat cushion. The heated seat temperature sensors are Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors. Each front seat sensor is hardwired to the memory heated seat adjustable pedal module, located under the drivers seat. The 2nd row seat heated seat sensors are hardwired to a separate heated seat module, located in the 2nd row center console.
The heated seat sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and if found to be faulty, the complete heated seat cushion element must be replaced.
