Climate Control Seat System

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The climate control seat system consists of two heated/cool ventilation modules and one CCSM that controls both the driver and passenger heated/cool seats systems. The CCSM is mounted below the front passenger seat cushion.

Once a climate control seat system is activated, cabin air is drawn through the seat blower motors and directed across the fins of each of the TED located under the seat cushion and in the seat back. The air is either heated or cooled as it passes over the TEDs. This conditioned air is then directed through channels in the foam of the seat pad and through small holes in the seat cover to the occupant. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of algorithms to control the temperature of the selected heating or cooling modes.
