Seat Heater: Testing and Inspection
Second Row
HEATED REAR SEAT ELEMENT
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out information.
The wire harness connectors (2) for the second row cushion heating elements are located under the rear center floor console on the console bracket (1).
The harness connectors can be accessed by removing the rear center floor console.
The wire harness connectors (3) for the second row seat back (1) heating elements are located on the inner second row seat cushion (2) to seat back
bracket. The harness connector can be accessed by removing the bracket trim cover.
NOTE: When checking heated second row 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. Locate and disconnect the seat electrical connector.
2. Check the resistance between the circuit leading in and out of the suspect heated seat element. The resistance should be between 3.8 - 4.8 ohms for
a seat cushion element and 4.3 - 5.4 ohms for a seat back element. If OK, See: for further heated second row seat system diagnosis. If not OK,
replace the inoperative heated second row seat element.
