HEATED SEAT MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with heated seats utilize two
heated seat modules. The heated seat modules (Fig.
8) are located under the front seats, where they are
secured to the seat cushion pans. The left heated
seat module controls the left heated seat, and the
right controls the right. Each heated seat module has
three connector receptacles that allows the module to
be connected to all of the required inputs and out-
puts through the seat wire harness.The heated seat module is an electronic micropro-
cessor controlled device designed and programmed to
use inputs from the ignition switch, heated seat
switch and the heated seat sensor to operate and
control the heated seat elements in the front seat
and the two heated seat indicator lamp Light-Emit-
ting Diodes (LEDs) in the heated seat switch.
The heated seat module cannot be repaired. If the
heated seat module is damaged or faulty, the entire
module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery
current received from the ignition switch and inte-
grated power module. The module is grounded at all
times through the seat wire harness. Inputs to the
module include a resistor multiplexed heated seat
switch request circuit for the heated seat switch and
the heated seat sensor inputs from the seat cushions
of each front seat. In response to those inputs the
heated seat module controls battery current feeds to
the heated seat elements, and controls the ground for
the heated seat switch indicator lamps.
When a heated seat switch request signal is
received by the heated seat module, the module ener-
gizes the proper indicator lamp (Low or High) in the
switch by grounding the indicator lamp circuit to
indicate that the heated seat system is operating. At
the same time, the heated seat module energizes the
selected heated seat sensor circuit and the sensor
provides the module with an input indicating the
surface temperature of the selected seat cushion.
The Low heat set point is about 38É C (100.4É F),
and the High heat set point is about 42É C (107.6É F).
If the seat cushion surface temperature input is
below the temperature set point for the selected tem-
perature setting, the heated seat module energizes
an N-channel Field Effect Transistor (N-FET) within
the module which energizes the heated seat elements
in the selected seat cushion and back. When the sen-
sor input to the module indicates the correct temper-
ature set point has been achieved, the module
de-energizes the N-FET which de-energizes the
heated seat elements. The heated seat module will
continue to cycle the N-FET as needed to maintain
the selected temperature set point.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
MODULE
If a heated seat fails to heat and one or both of the
indicator lamps on a heated seat switch flash, refer
toDiagnosis and Testing Heated Seat Systemin
Heated Seats for the location of flashing LED heated
seat system diagnosis and testing procedures. If a
heated seat heats but one or both indicator lamps on
the heated seat switch fail to operate, test the heated

module to the D-pillar (Fig. 10).
(5) Remove the PLG control module from the vehi-
cle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the PLG control module on the D-pillar
and install retaining screw. Torque the screw to 14.5
in. lbs.
(2) Connect the wire harness connections on the
PLG control module. Be certain to slide connector
locks to the locked position.
(3) Install the D-pillar trim panel on the vehicle.
Refer to the Body section for the procedure.
(4) Connect the negative battery cable.
(5) Using an appropriate scan tool, check any
erase any PLG control module diagnostic trouble
codes.
(6) Verify PLG system operation. Cycle the PLG
through one complete open and close cycle, this will
allow the PLG control module to relearn its cycle
with the new components.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is a digital
computer containing a microprocessor (Fig. 11). The
PCM receives input signals from various switches
and sensors referred to as Powertrain Control Mod-
ule Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts
various engine and vehicle operations through
devices referred to as Powertrain Control Module
Outputs.
NOTE: PCM Inputs:
²Air Conditioning Pressure Transducer
²ASD Relay
²Battery Voltage
²Brake Switch
²Camshaft Position Sensor
²Crankshaft Position Sensor
²Distance Sensor (from transmission control mod-
ule)
²EGR Position Feedback
²Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
²Heated Oxygen Sensors

Based on inputs it receives, the powertrain control
module (PCM) adjusts fuel injector pulse width, idle
speed, ignition timing, and canister purge operation.
The PCM regulates the cooling fans, air conditioning
and speed control systems. The PCM changes gener-
ator charge rate by adjusting the generator field.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel
ratio) based on the following inputs.
²Battery Voltage
²Intake Air Temperature Sensor
²Engine Coolant Temperature
²Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)²Exhaust Gas Oxygen Content (heated oxygen
sensors)
²Manifold Absolute Pressure
²Throttle Position
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the
idle air control motor based on the following inputs.
²Brake Switch
²Engine Coolant Temperature
²Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
²Park/Neutral (transmission gear selection)
²Transaxle Gear Engagement
²Throttle Position
²Vehicle Speed (from Transmission Control Mod-
ule)
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the fol-
lowing inputs.
²Intake Air Temperature
²Engine Coolant Temperature
²Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
²Knock Sensor
²Manifold Absolute Pressure
²Park/Neutral (transmission gear selection)
²Transaxle Gear Engagement
²Throttle Position
The automatic shut down (ASD) and fuel pump
relays are mounted externally, but turned on and off
by the powertrain control module through the same
circuit.
The camshaft and crankshaft signals are sent to
the powertrain control module. If the PCM does not
receive both signals within approximately one second
of engine cranking, it deactivates the ASD and fuel
pump relays. When these relays are deactivated,
power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils,
fuel pump and the heating element in each oxygen
sensor.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that
changes battery voltage to a regulated 8.0 volts. The
8.0 volts power the camshaft position sensor, crank-
shaft position sensor and vehicle speed sensor. The
PCM also provides a 5.0 volts supply for the engine
coolant temperature sensor, intake air temperature
sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor and throt-
tle position sensor.
The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced
idle speeds until after the engine operates for 320 km
(200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320 km (200
miles) of usage, update the mileage in new PCM. Use
the DRB scan tool to change the mileage in the PCM.
Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Man-
ual and the DRB scan tool.
