Circuit/System Description

The heated seat temperature sensor that set this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is located in the seat back just under the seat cover with the seat heating element. The temperature sensor is a 2 wire thermistor and resistance through the sensor varies with temperature. The signal circuit is referenced from 5 volts within the module and the temperature of the seat surface determines the signal circuit voltage. Once the seat reaches the set temperature, the module will then cycle the control circuits of the heating elements ON and OFF in order to maintain the desired seat temperature based on the feedback voltage from the sensors.
