Component Testing

HEATED SEAT ELEMENT




The wire harness connectors (2&3) for the heating elements are located under the seat (1).

NOTE: When checking heated seat elements for continuity, be certain to move the heating element being checked. Moving the element, such as sitting in the seat will eliminate the possibility of an intermittent open in the element which would only be evident if the element was in a certain position. Failure to check the element in various positions could result in an incomplete test.

1. Locate and disconnect the seat electrical connector.
2. Check for continuity between the circuit leading in and out of the appropriate heated seat element. There should be continuity (less than 6 ohms). If not OK, replace the heated seat element.
