Heated Seat Switch - Description
Front
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are both mounted in the instrument panel. The two switches are part of the lower instrument panel switch pod assembly. If
either of the switches is damaged or inoperative the complete switch pod assembly must be replaced.
Each heated seat switch provides a resistor-multiplexed signal to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) in the top
portion of each switch indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off. Pressing the switch once will
select high-level heating. Pressing the switch a second time will select low-level heating. Pressing the switch a third time will shut the heating elements
off.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps are inoperative or damaged, or the switch is inoperative or
damaged the complete switch pod assembly must be replaced.
Second Row
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches (1) for the 2nd row seats are located in the rear center floor console (2). These switches allow the 2nd row seat passengers to
select from two different levels of electrical seat heating (HI/LO). Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) in the top portion of each switch indicate the
level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off. Pressing the switch once will select high-level heating. Pressing
the switch a second time will select low-level heating. Pressing the switch a third time will shut the heating elements off. The 2nd row heated seat
switches are available individually for service. If the switches are inoperative or damaged in any way they should be replaced, . See: Service and
