Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
Battery positive voltage and ground is supplied to the seat heating control module from the auxiliary power outlet harness connector located under the
CD player. This voltage is used to power up the heated seat module and to supply power to the seat heater elements. Battery voltage is supplied to the
heated seat switch from the seat heating control module. When a heated seat switch is pressed, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts and
the heated seat switch signal circuit to the seat heating control module indicating the heated seat command. In response to this signal, the seat heating
control module applies battery voltage through the control circuit to the seat heater elements.
