Heated Seats Description and Operation
Heated Seat System Description and Operation
B+ is supplied at all times to the heated seat module from the HTD SEATS fuse located in the underhood fuse block. Ignition voltage is supplied to the
heated seat switch and the heated seat module from the RUN fuse located in the underhood fuse block. When commanded ON, the heated seat module
uses this voltage to heat the seat heating elements. The heated seat module and the seat heating elements are grounded through the module ground circuit
to G301.
Each time the heated seat switch is pressed, B+ is supplied to the heated seat module through the heated seat signal circuit. The module counts these
inputs to determine what level of heat the vehicle operator is commanding. In response to these switch signals, the heated seat module closes it's contacts
and applies battery positive voltage through the heated seat element supply voltage circuit to the seat heating elements. When the thermistor inside the
seat cushion reaches a certain resistance, the control module open and close the supply voltage in order to maintain that heat level.
The heated seat indicators are controlled by the heated seat control module. The module will apply ground to the appropriate indicator control circuit. B+
is supplied to the indicators from the RUN fuse located in the underhood fuse block.
