Heated Seats - Rear

WARNING: Never install heated seat parts not intended for use on this vehicle. Parts released for other model years or vehicle lines are not compatible even if they appear visually and physically similar. Installing incorrect parts will result in heated seat system performance outside design specification.

Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury. Vehicles equipped with rear heated seats are equipped with a single-heated seat module to control both rear heated seats. The heated seat module is located under the rear 60 percent seat. The left and right rear heated seat switches, with indicators, are located in the respective second row door trim panels. A momentary ground signal is transmitted to the heated seat module when a heated seat switch button is pressed while ignition switched voltage is supplied. When a heated seat is set to maximum heat, the high LED indicator on the heated seat switch illuminates. When a heated seat is set to minimum heat, the low LED indicator illuminates.

When activated, the heated seat module supplies voltage to the selected seat's heater circuit. Each seat's cushion heater mat and backrest heater mat is connected in a series circuit to the heated seat module and powered by the output circuit for that seat. The heated seat module monitors inputs from a temperature sensor, located in each seat's cushion heater mat and maintains seat temperature by cycling the heater circuits on/off. The heated seat module remains ON until the heated seat switch button is pressed to cycle the heated seat module OFF or the ignition switch is set to OFF.

The heated seat module does not report DTCs and does not communicate on any of the CAN . If a fault is detected by the heated seat module, the module stops supplying voltage to that individual left or right seat and switch indicator that the fault was detected on. To reset the heated seat module, cycle the ignition switch OFF and then ON. After the heated seat module has been reset, the module returns to an OFF state.
