Heater Pad - Operation

OPERATION

Battery current is directed to the heated seat elements by the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM will energize the heated seat elements when a heated seat switch is pressed on.

As electrical current passes through each heated seat element, the resistance of the wire used in the element disperse some of the electrical current in the form of heat. The heat produced by the heated seat element then radiates through the seat bottom and seat back covers, warming the seat covers and its occupant.

The heated seat elements cannot be repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.
