Circuit/System Description

The driver and front passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches. Both switches are located in the climate control panel (CCP). When a heated seat switch is pressed, the CCP sends a serial data message to the heated seat module (HSM) indicating the heated seat request. In response to this signal, the HSM activates the heated seat by applying battery voltage to the seat heating elements. The HSM then sends a serial data message back to the CCP commanding it to illuminate the appropriate seat temperature indicator.
