Heated Seats - Description

DESCRIPTION





Vehicles with the heated seat option can be visually identified by the two heated seat switches located in the center stack of the instrument panel. The switches are located on the outer edges of the Accessory Switch Bank Module (ASBM). The ASBM (3) is located just below the radio (1) and just above the heater and air conditioner controls (2) in the center stack area of the instrument panel.

The heated seat system allows the driver and front seat passenger to select from two different levels of electrical seat heating (HI/LO). The heated seat system includes the following major components:

- Heated Seat Elements - Four heated seat elements are used per vehicle. Two heated seat elements are integral to each seat, one in the seat back and the other in the seat cushion.
- Heated Seat Module - One heated seat module is used per vehicle. The Heated Seat Module is mounted under the Driver front seat. This module contains the control logic and software for the front heated seat system. The module communicates on the Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus.
- Heated Seat Switches - Two heated seat switches are used per vehicle, one for each heated seat. Both switches are integral to the ASBM mounted in the instrument panel center stack.
- Instrument Cluster (CCN) - The instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) utilizes integrated software and information carried on the LIN data bus. The CCN serves as the link between the heated seat switches and the heated seat module.
