Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the heated seat function is active, the memory seat module (MSM) supplies battery voltage through the element supply voltage circuit to the seat heater elements. The module controls the seat temperature by providing a PWM ground through the heated seat element control circuit to the seat heater elements. The module then monitors the current flow through the heating element and the temperature sensor rate of change to verify correct operation.
