Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2006 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the seat back heating element harness connector.
- Test for less than 6.0 ohms of resistance between the supply voltage terminal and the control terminal of the heater element.
- If greater than 6.0 ohms, replace the seat back heating element.
- Connect the seat back heating element harness connector.
- Disconnect the heated seat module harness connectors C2 and C4.
- Test for less than 6.0 ohms of resistance between the heating element supply voltage circuit and the heating element control circuit of the seat heating elements.
- If greater than 6.0 ohms, test the supply voltage circuit and the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits/connections test normal, replace the seat cushion heating element.
- Test the supply voltage circuit of the seat heating elements for a short to battery voltage.
- Test the control circuit of the seat heating elements for a short to ground.
- If all circuits/connections circuits test normal, replace the heated seat module.
