Circuit/System Description

The driver and passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches that are located in the HVAC control. When a heated seat switch is pressed, a serial data message is sent from the HVAC control to the HVAC control module indicating the heated seat command. The HVAC control module then serves as a gateway to transmit the message to the seat heating control module via the serial data line. In response to this message, the seat heating control module applies battery positive voltage through the element supply voltage circuit to the appropriate seat heating elements. The seat heating control module then sends a serial data message back to the HVAC control module to gateway the information to the HVAC control to either illuminate or turn off the appropriate temperature indicator.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine ON, observe the scan tool Driver Seat Heating/Venting/Cooling Mode parameter while pressing the driver HEATED seat switch. The reading should change between Off and Back & Cushion Heat.
If not the specified value, replace the A26 HVAC control.
2. Observe the scan tool Passenger Seat Heating/Venting/Cooling Mode parameter while pressing the passenger HEATED seat switch. The reading should change between Off and Back & Cushion Heat.
If not the specified value, replace the A26 HVAC control.
3. If all scan tool parameter readings are normal, there are no DTCs set, and the driver and/or passenger heated seat is inoperative, replace the K29 seat heating control module.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.
