How does the heated seat module work on a car?
The heated seat module is also programmed to provide self-diagnostics, if a problem with the heated seat system is detected. If the module detects certain failures within the heated seat system, it will provide a visual indication of the failure by flashing the indicator lamps in the appro- priate heated seat switch.
When does the heated seat system turn off?
The heated seat system will only operate when the surface temperature of the seat cushion is below the designed temperature set points of the sys- tem. The heated seat system will also automatically turn off whenever the ignition switch is turned to any position except On, or if the engine quits run- ning.
What to do if a heated seat switch does not work?
If a heated seat heats but one or both indicator lamps on the heated seat switch fail to operate, test the heated seat switch.

What makes a PCB mounted switch different from a plate mounted switch?
PCB mounted switches have a different molded housing with two prongs that allow it to pass through the PCB before being soldered, these prongs aid in stability when the switch is mounted directly to the PCB. The two switch mounting types are virtually identical with the exception of the two molded prongs in the PCB mounted housing.
How does a heated seat module work on a car?
The heated seat module operates on fused battery current received from the integrated power module. Inputs to the module include a resistor multiplexed heated seat switch request circuit for each of the two heated seat switches and the heated seat sensor inputs from the seat cushions of each front seat.
