Basic Operation

The ventilated seat control unit sets the blower motor and heater to High/Mid/Low or OFF based on the seat ventilation/heater switch signals sent from the climate control unit via the B-CAN. The ventilated control unit monitors the thermistor resistance, the voltage/current/temperature to the heater, and the presence of communication with the climate control unit. Also, the system stores DTCs when a malfunction is detected in the ventilated control unit.
