Seat Heater: Testing and Inspection
Heated Seat Element
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to Wiring Diagrams.
NOTE: When checking heated seat elements for continuity, be certain to move the heating element being checked. Moving the element, such as sitting
in the seat will eliminate the possibility of an intermittent open in the element which would only be evident if the element was in a certain position.
Failure to check the element in various positions could result in an incomplete test.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconned the heated seat module wire harness connector. Check for continuity between the seat
heater B+ driver circuit cavity and a good ground, preferably under the seat. There should be continuity, less than 7 ohms. If OK, go to Step 2. If
not OK, replace the heating element assembly.
2. Check for continuity between the seat heater B+ driver drcuit cavity and the seat back frame. There should be no continuity. If OK, go to
Diagnosis and Testing the heated Seat Module in the electronic control modules for additional diagnostics. If not OK, replace the element as
required.
