Heated Seat Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Pontiac Torrent and 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The driver and passenger heated seats are controlled by a single heated seat module that is located under the driver seat cushion. Both heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches that are located in the climate control panel (CCP). When a heated seat switch is pressed, the CCP sends a GMLAN message via the serial data line to the heated seat module indicating the heated seat command. In response to this signal, the heated seat module then applies battery positive voltage through the element supply voltage circuit to the appropriate seat heating elements. The heated seat module then sends a GMLAN message back to the CCP to either illuminate or turn off the appropriate temperature indicator.
