The heated seat temperature sensor that set this DTC is located in the seat cushion just under the seat cover with the seat heating element. The body control module (BCM) supplies a 10-volt signal circuit and a low reference circuit to the sensor. The BCM monitors the voltage of the heated seat temperature sensor signal circuit to determine the temperature of the seat. The BCM will then cycle the heated seat relay ON and OFF in order to maintain the desired seat temperature based on the voltage feedback from the temperature sensor.
