Heated Seat Element - Description

DESCRIPTION





The heated seat system utilizes two heated seat elements in each seat, one for the seat cushion (3) and the other for the seat back. Although two different heated seat systems are used for the front and 2nd row rear seats, the heated seat elements function the same way. The two elements for each 2nd row rear seat are connected in series with the 2nd row Heated Seat Module (HSM). The two elements for each front seat are connected in parallel with the Memory Heated Seat Adjustable Pedal Module (MHSAPM). One temperature sensor is used for each rear seat only, and it is located in the rear seat cushion heated seat element. The front heated seat system does not utilize a temperature sensor for the heated seat elements. The heated seat temperature sensor is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor.

The heated seat elements are glued onto the seat cushion and seat back cushion foam. The heated seat elements and the temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, the heated seat element assembly must be replaced. Heated Seat Element - Removal.
