Power Seats System Description and Operation

The passenger power seat system consists of the following components

  1. Seat adjuster switch
  2. Seat horizontal motor
  3. Seat front vertical motor
  4. Seat rear vertical motor
  5. Seat recline motor
  6. PWR SEATS circuit breaker

Heated Seats Description and Operation

The driver and front passenger heated seats each consist of the following components.

  1. Heated seat switch
  2. HVAC control module

  4. Heated seat relay - Driver
  5. Heated seat relay - Passenger
  6. Seat cushion heater element

Heated Seat Operation

The driver and passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches. Both switches are located in the HVAC control module. When a heated seat switch is pressed, the HVAC control module sends a class 2 message to the body control module (BCM) indicating the heated seat command. In response to this signal, the BCM applies battery positive voltage through the heated seat relay control circuit energizing the relay. The relay closes its switch contacts applying battery positive voltage through the element supply voltage circuit to the seat heating elements. The BCM then sends a class 2 message back to the HVAC control module to illuminate the appropriate temperature indicator.
