Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The heated seat temperature sensor that set this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is located in the seat cushion just under the seat cover with the seat
heating element. The rear heated seat module (RHSM) supplies a 5 V reference voltage through the temperature sensor signal circuit and a ground
through the low reference circuit to the sensor. The RHSM monitors the voltage of the sensor signal circuit to determine the temperature of the seat.
The temperature sensor varies in resistance based on the temperature of the heating element causing the signal voltage to change. Once the seat
reaches the set temperature, the RHSM will then cycle the control circuit of the heating elements ON and OFF in order to maintain the desired seat
temperature based on the feedback voltage from the sensor.
