Heated Seat Element - Operation

OPERATION

Battery current is directed to each heated seat element by the Heated Seat Module (HSM), also known as the Comfort Seat and Wheel Module (CSWM). The HSM will energize the heated seat elements when the heated seat switch is pressed.

As electrical current passes through the heated seat element, the resistance of the wire used in the element disperse some of the electrical current in the form of heat. The heat produced by the heated seat element then radiates through the seat cushion covers, warming the seat covers and its occupant.

The heated seat elements cannot be repaired and if damaged or inoperative must be replaced.
