Seat Heater: Testing and Inspection
Heated Seat System
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The heated seat system is capable of performing some self-diagnostics.
Heated Seat System Self-Diagnosis
The table depicts the various monitored failures which will be reported to the vehicle operator or technician by flashing the individual heated seat switch
Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps.
Refer to the Heated Seat System Self-Diagnosis table for failure identification.
The driver side heated seat switch indicator lamps will flash if a failure occurs in the driver side heated seat, and the passenger side heated seat switch
indicator lamps will flash for a passenger side heated seat failure.
If a monitored heated seat system failure occurs, the switch indicator lamps will flash at a pulse rate of about one-half second ON, followed by about
one-half second OFF for a duration of about one minute after the switch for the faulty heated seat is depressed in either the Low or High direction.
This process will repeat every time the faulty heated seat switch is actuated until the problem has been corrected.
If the heated seat system failure is identified by flashing heated seat switch indicator lamps, go to the appropriate diagnosis and testing procedure and
confirm the condition, using the step by step procedure.
If the monitored failure is confirmed, replace the component. If the monitored failure is not confirmed, replace the heated seat module with a known
good unit and retest the system.
