Sebring Sedan V6-2.7L VIN R (2004)
Seat Heater: Testing and Inspection
Heated Seat Element
To check the heated seat element and sensor circuits, proceed as follows. The wire harness connectors for the seat cushion heated seat element and
sensor and for the seat back heated seat element are located under the seat, near the rear edge of the seat cushion frame. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for the
location of complete heated seat system wiring diagrams.
NOTE: When checking heated seat elements for continuity, be certain to move the heating element being checked. Moving the element, such as siting
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.
SEAT CUSHION
Seat Cushion Element Connector
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconnect the green 4-way heated seat wire harness connector. Using an ohmmeter, check for
continuity between pins A and B of the seat cushion wire harness connector. There should be continuity. If OK, test the seat back element as
described below. If not OK, check the green 2-way seat cushion connector. If OK, replace the faulty seat cushion cover and element assembly.
SETBACK
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconnect the green 2-way heated seat back wire harness connector. Using an ohmmeter, check
the resistance between the two pins. There should be continuity. If OK, test the heated seat control module as described. If not OK, replace the
faulty seat back cover and element assembly.
