Heater Pad - Operation

OPERATION

Battery current is directed to the heated seat elements by the Heated Seat Module (HSM). The HMS will energize the heated seat elements when the heated seat switch is pressed to high or low heating levels.

As electrical current passes through each heated seat element, the resistance of the wire used in the element disperse some of the electrical current in the form of heat. The heat produced by the heated seat element then radiates through the seat bottom and seat back trim covers, warming the seat covers and its occupant.

The heated seat elements cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or damaged.
