OPERATION
The Rear Window Defogger (Fig. 1) system consists
of two vertical bus bars linked by a series of grid
lines on the inside surface of the rear window. The
electrical circuit consists of the rear defogger switch
in the HVAC control assembly and a relay with timer
switch to turn OFF the system after ten minutes.
The main feed circuit is protected by fuse 13 (40
amp) in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) which
is integrated as a unit call Integrated Power Module
(IPM). The rear defogger switch and relay also acti-
vates the heated power side view mirrors and heated
windshield wiper de-icer. The heated windshield
wiper de-icer is powered by the RUN/ACC relay in
the IPM and feed thru fuse #11 (20 amp) in the PDC.
The heated mirror circuit is protected by a non-servi-
cable Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) located
inside the PDC. The heated windshield wiper de-icer
circuit is protected by fuse 11 (20 amp) in the PDC.
The Heated Windshield Wiper Deicer is also acti-
vated when the DEFROST mode is selected on the
HVAC. In the DEFROST mode the rear defogger
relay/timer is bypassed, the heated windshield wiper
de-icer will stay ON until the another mode is
selected. For circuit information and component loca-
tion refer to appropriate section for Wiring Diagrams.
CAUTION:
Since grid lines can be damaged or scraped off
with sharp instruments, care should be taken in
cleaning the glass or removing foreign materials,
decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents
or hot water used with rags or toweling is recom-
mended.

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Individually controlled driver and passenger side
electrically heated front seats are available factory-
installed optional equipment on this model, when it
is also equipped with the power seat option. The
heated seat system allows both the driver and the
front seat passenger the option to select one of twoseat heating ranges, Low or High, or to turn the indi-
vidual seat heaters Off using the heated seat
switches located in the instrument panel center bezel
near the bottom of the HVAC outlets (Fig. 1). The
heated seat switch circuit operates on ignition
switched battery current supplied through a fuse in
the intelligent power module, only when the ignition
switch is in the On position.
This section covers the following components of the
heated seat system:
²Heated seat elements
²Heated seat sensors
²Heated seat switches
The Heated seat module (or memory heated seat
module) can be found in the Electronic Control Mod-
ules section of the service manual.
The heated seat system also relies upon resources
shared with other electronic modules in the vehicle
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) J1850 data bus network. The J1850 (PCI) data
bus network allows the sharing of sensor informa-
tion. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity,
internal controller hardware, and component sensor
current loads. At the same time, this system provides
increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and
allows the addition of many new feature capabilities.
For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the
J1850 (PCI) data bus network, the use of a DRB IIIt
scan tool, or equivalent and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures manual are recommended.
The electronic modules that may affect heated seat
system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- Refer toBody
Control Modulein Electronic Control Modules for
more information.
Fig. 1 HEATED SEAT SWITCHES
RSHEATED SEAT SYSTEM8G-7

²Remote Keyless Entry Module (RKE)- Refer
toRemote Keyless Entry Modulein Power Locks
for more information.
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)- Refer toElectronic Vehicle Information
Centerin Overhead Console for more information.
²Heated Seat Module (HSM)- Refer toHeated
Seat Modulein Electronic Control Modules for more
information.
²Memory Heated Seat Module (MHSM)-If
the vehicle is equipped with the Memory System,
refer toMemory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM)in
Electronic Control Modules for more information.
Refer toWiring Diagramsfor complete circuit
diagrams. Following are general descriptions of the
major components in the heated seat system.
OPERATION
The heated seat system will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the On position, and the surface
temperature at the front seat heating element sen-
sors is below the designed temperature set points of
the system. The heated seat system will not operate
in ambient temperatures greater than about 41É C
(105É F). The front seat heating elements and sensors
are hard wired to the Heated Seat Module (HSM) or
the Memory Heated Seat Module (MHSM).
The heated seat switches are hard wired to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM monitors the
heated seat switch inputs, then sends heated seat
switch status messages to the HSM or MHSM over
the Programmable Communications Interface J1850
(PCI) data bus. The HSM or MHSM contains the con-
trol logic for the heated seat system. The HSM or
MHSM responds to the heated seat switch status
messages, ignition switch status messages, and the
front seat heating element sensor inputs by control-
ling the output to the front seat heating elements
through integral solid-state relays.
When a seat heater is turned on, the sensor
located on the seat cushion electric heater element
provides the HSM or MHSM with an input indicating
the surface temperature of the seat cushion. If the
surface temperature input is below the temperature
set point for the selected Low or High heated seat
switch position, the HSM or MHSM energizes the
integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery cur-
rent to the heating elements in the seat cushion and
back. When the sensor input indicates the correct
temperature set point has been achieved, the HSM or
MHSM de-energizes the solid-state relay. The HSM
or MHSM will continue to cycle the solid-state relay
as needed to maintain the temperature set point.
The HSM or MHSM and the seat heater elements
operate on non-switched battery current supplied
through the power seat fuse in the intelligent powermodule. However, the HSM or MHSM will automati-
cally turn off the heating elements if it detects an
open in the sensor circuit, a short in the heating ele-
ment circuit causing an excessive current draw, or
when the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the heated seat system.
DRIVER HEATED SEAT
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are mounted in the
instrument panel center bezel (Fig. 2). The two three-
position rocker-type switches, one switch for each
front seat, are incorporated into one large switch
assembly that also includes the hazzard, rear window
wiper and washer switches. The heated seat switches
provide a resistor multiplexed signal to the Body
Control Module (BCM) through separate hard wired
circuits. Each switch has an Off, Low, and High posi-
tion so that both the driver and the front seat pas-
senger can select a preferred seat heating mode.
Each switch has two Light-Emitting Diodes (LED)
which light to indicate that the heater for the seat is
turned on.
The heated seat switches and their LEDs cannot
be repaired. If either switch or LED is faulty or dam-
aged, the entire switch assembly must be replaced.
Fig. 2 HEATED SEAT SWITCHES
8G - 8 HEATED SEAT SYSTEMRS
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM (Continued)

OPERATION
There are three positions that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, or High.
When the left side of the switch rocker is fully
depressed, the Low position is selected and the high
position LED indicator illuminates. When the right
side of the switch rocker is fully depressed, the High
position is selected and the low position LED indica-
tor illuminates. When the switch rocker is moved to
its neutral position (middle), Off is selected and both
LED indicators are extinguished.
Both switches provide separate resistor multi-
plexed hard wire inputs to the BCM to indicate the
selected switch position. The BCM monitors the
switch inputs and sends heated seat switch status
messages to the Heated Seat Module (HSM) or the
Memory Heated Seat Module (MHSM) over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The HSM or MHSM responds to the heated seat
switch status messages by controlling the output to
the seat heater elements of the selected seat. The
Low heat position set point is about 36É C (97É F),
and the High heat position set point is about 41É C
(105É F).

HEATED SEAT ELEMENT
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat system includes two seat heating
elements in each front seat, one for the seat cushion
and the other for the seat back. The two elements for
each seat that are connected in series with the
Heated Seat Module (HSM). The temperature sensor
is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) ther-
mistor. One temperature sensor is used for each seat,
and it is located on the seat cushion heating element
for all models.
The seat heating elements are sewn into the seat
cushion cover trim and seat back cover trim units.
The heated seat elements and the temperature sen-
sor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, the seat cushion or seat back assembly
must be replaced. Refer toSeat CushionorSeat
Backin the Removal and Installation section of
Body for the seat cushion and seat back service pro-
cedures.

8G - 10 HEATED SEAT SYSTEMRS
DRIVER HEATED SEAT SWITCH (Continued)

OPERATION
The heated seat elements resist the flow of electri-
cal current. When battery current is passed through
the elements, the energy lost by the resistance of the
elements to the current flow is released in the form
of heat. The temperature sensor is a NTC thermistor.
When the temperature of the seat cushion cover
rises, the resistance of the sensor decreases. The
HSM or MHSM supplies a five-volt current to one
side of each sensor, and monitors the voltage drop
through the sensor on a return circuit. The MSM or
MHSM uses this temperature sensor input to moni-
tor the temperature of the seat, and regulates the
current flow to the seat heating elements accordingly.
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING - HEATED SEAT
