  2. Carefully remove the seat cushion heater (A) from the seat cushion pad (B). NOTE: The seat cushion heater is glued to the seat cushion pad. When removing it, take care not to damage the seat cushion pad.
  3. Install the removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

Seat Back Heater

Note. SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations (see COMPONENT LOCATION INDEX ), and precautions and procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) before doing repairs or servicing.

  3. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table. NOTE: Make sure the correct test lead (+ or -) is placed on the terminal. When checking for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting () on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias. Note this important operating characteristic; diode bias causes a diode to fully conduct electricity in one direction (forward), while not at all in the opposite direction (reverse).
  4. If the continuity is not as specified, remove the screws and replace the switch.
  5. Install the switch in the reverse order of removal.
