Cooling Characteristics
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The climate controlled seat system draws approximately 7 amps until reaching the set point, and then the system draws approximately 2 amps to maintain the temperature setting.
- In the COOL mode, the TED can remove up to 8-10°C (14-18°F) from the ambient air temperature entering the system.
- There are 3 manual settings based on the position of the climate controlled seat switch on the DATC module. Position 1 is the LOW setting and position 3 is the HIGH setting.
- If the temperature at one of the TEDs falls below 18°C (64°F), the climate controlled seat module will shut down the TEDs. If the temperature continues to drop below 12°C (54°F), the climate controlled seat module will shut down the fan motor.
- In COOL mode, there is a correlation between the DATC module, the seat fan motor speed and the TED supply voltage. Fan supply voltage is used in the following equation (seat fan motor supply voltage/0.74 x ignition voltage) to determine the fan duty cycle. For additional information, refer to the following chart.
| Climate Controlled Seat Switch Setting(1) | Seat Fan Motor Supply Voltage | Thermo-Electric Device Supply Duty Cycle | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Off | Off | ||
| MANUAL 1 or AUTO 1 | 8.7 volts | 0% | ||
| AUTO Mode 2 | 9 volts | 32% | ||
| MANUAL 2 or AUTO 3 | 9.1 volts | 45% | ||
| AUTO Mode 4 | 9.1 volts | 45% | ||
| MANUAL 3 or AUTO 5 | 9.5 volts | 100% | ||

The climate controlled seat system is deactivated by one of the following actions:
- Setting the DATC module setting to manual OFF.
- Turning the vehicle off.
