Circuit/System Description |
The driver and passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches located in the HVAC control. When a heated seat switch is pressed, a serial data message is sent from the HVAC control to the HVAC control module. The HVAC control module serves as a gateway to transmit the message to the seat memory control module via the serial data line indicating the heated seat command. In response to this message, the seat memory control module then applies battery voltage through the element supply voltage circuit to the appropriate seat heating elements. The seat memory control module then sends a serial data message back to the HVAC control module to gateway the information to the HVAC control to either illuminate or turn off the appropriate temperature indicator.

Circuit/System Testing |
1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K40 seat memory control module.
|
2. |
Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 5 and ground.
|
3. |
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
|
4. |
Ignition OFF, connect the X4 harness connector at the K40 seat memory control module.
|
5. |
Engine ON, observe the scan tool Driver Seat Heating/Venting/Cooling Mode parameter while pressing the driver HEATED seat switch. The reading should change between Off and Back & Cushion Heat.
|
6. |
If not the specified value, replace the A26 HVAC control.
|
7. |
Observe the scan tool Passenger Seat Heating/Venting/Cooling Mode parameter while pressing the passenger HEATED seat switch. The reading should change between Off and Back & Cushion Heat.
|
8. |
If not the specified value, replace the A26 HVAC control.
|
9. |
If the scan tool parameter readings test normal, there are no DTCs set, and the driver and/or passenger heated seat is inoperative, replace the K40 seat memory control module.
