Seat Temperature Switch: Service and Repair




Seat Heater Switch Test/Replacement

1. Remove the center console Center Console Removal / Installation.

2. Disconnect the 6P (or 7P*) connector from the seat heater switch, then remove the switch.
*: Passenger's seat heater switch






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.
- Be aware of this characteristic; a diode is one that conducts fully in one direction (forward) and not at all in the opposite direction (reverse).





4. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.

5. Install the switch in the reverse order of removal.
