HEATED SEAT SENSOR
The resistance of the heated seat sensor increases and decreases as the surface temperature of the seat cushion cover changes. The heated seat module
supplies each sensor with a voltage feed, then detects the sensor resistance by monitoring the voltage of the separate sensor return circuits. The heated
seat module compares the heated seat sensor resistance (seat cushion surface temperature) with the heated seat switch resistance (Low or High set
point) to determine when the heated seat element grids need to be cycled on or off in order to maintain the selected temperature set point.
LOW VOLTAGE CUT-OUT RELAY
A low voltage cut-out relay controls the 12v battery feed to the heated seat elements. When the system voltage is above 12.2 volts the relay will supply
voltage to the elements. When the PCM senses low system voltage, below 11.7 volts, a message will be sent to the BCM to turn off the low voltage
relay to prevent battery discharge during normal operation. The power will be restored when the system voltage rises above 12.2 volts for 14 seconds
and stays there. The cycle will repeat if the system voltage again drops below 11.7 volts.
