Cooling Characteristics
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- In COOL mode, the TED circuits of a given seat are wired in series internally in the DCSM.
- The climate controlled seat system draws approximately 10 amps for the first 12 minutes and will operate at 2 amps thereafter.
- In COOL mode, the TED can remove up to 8°C (14°F) from the ambient air temperature entering the system.
- There are 3 manual settings based on the LEDs above each seat cool switch button on the EATC. The first setting is HIGH (3 LEDs), the second setting is MED (2 LEDs) and the third is LOW (1 LED) then OFF (no LEDs).
- If the temperature at one of the TEDs falls below 5°C (41°F), the climate controlled seat module will shut down the TEDs. If the temperature continues to drop below 2°C (36°F), the climate controlled seat module will shut down the blower motors.
- When cooling, the DCSM maintains constant speed of the fans and constant TED supply voltage (duty cycle) in open loop COOL mode.
- Seat cooling has a maximum operating duration of 30 minutes.VOLTAGE CHART

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