Heated Seat Switch - Operation

OPERATION

The two front heated seat switches are momentary, push button-type switches, that provide a request signal to the Heated Seat Module (HSM), over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, signaling the HSM to energize the heating elements for the selected seat. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) in each switch indicate the level of heat in use. The front seat switch LEDs are controlled by the HSM.

The front heated seat switches are diagnosed using a scan tool Testing and Inspection.

The front heated seat switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and if a switch or its LEDs are damaged or inoperative, the entire accessory switch pod must be replaced Instrument Cluster Switch Pod - Removal.
