HEATED SEAT ELEMENT

NOTE: For complete circuit diagrams, see Wiring Information. Wiring Information includes wiring diagrams, connector pin-out and location views, details of wire harness routing and retention, splice and ground locations and proper wire and connector repair procedures.

The wire harness connectors for the heating elements are located under the seat.

NOTE: When checking heated seat elements for continuity, be certain to move the heating element being checked. Moving the element, such as sitting in the seat will eliminate the possibility of an intermittent open in the element which would only be evident if the element was in a certain position.

1. Locate and disconnect the seat heating element electrical connectors as necessary.
2. Check the resistance between the circuit leading in and out of the suspect heated seat element. The resistance should be between 3.0 - 5.5 ohms for a seat bottom element and 4.0 - 6.0 ohms for a seat back element. If resistance is OK, Heated Seat System. If the resistance is not OK, replace the inoperative heated seat element Heater Pad - Removal.
