OPERATION
The heated seat module receives fused battery cur-
rent through the Integrated Power Module only when
the engine is running. The heated seat switches
receive battery current through fuse #48 in the Inte-
grated Power Module only when the ignition switch
is in the On position. The heated seat module shares
a common ground circuit with each of the heated seat
elements. The heated seat system will only operate
when the surface temperature of the seat cushion is
below the designed temperature set points of the sys-
tem.
The heated seat system will also automatically
turn off whenever the ignition switch is turned to
any position except On, or if the engine quits run-
ning. If the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion or if the engine quits running while a heated
seat is ON, the heated seat will remain Off after the
engine is restarted until a heated seat switch is
depressed again. This helps prevent the vehicles bat-
tery from being drained by the heated seat system.The heated seat module monitors inputs from the
heated seat sensors and the heated seat switches. In
response to these inputs the heated seat module uses
its internal programming to control 12v to the heated
seat elements in both front seats and to control the
heated seat LED indicator lamps located in both of
the heated seat switches. The heated seat module is
also programmed to provide self-diagnostics, if a
problem with the heated seat system is detected. If
the module detects certain failures within the heated
seat system, it will provide a visual indication of the
failure by flashing the indicator lamps in the appro-
priate heated seat switch. The heated seat module
will automatically turn off the heated seat elements
if it detects a short or open in the heated seat ele-
ment circuit or a heated seat sensor value that is out
of range.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The heated seat system is capable of performing
some self-diagnostics. The following table depicts the
various monitored failures which will be reported to
the vehicle operator or technician by flashing the
individual heated seat switch Light Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator lamps. Refer to the HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS table for failure identi-
fication. The drivers heated seat switch indicator
lamps will flash if a failure occurs in the driver
heated seat, and the passengers heated seat switch
indicator lamps will flash for a passenger heated seat
failure. If a monitored heated seat system failure
occurs, the switch indicator lamps will flash at a
pulse rate of about one-half second on, followed by
about one-half second off for a duration of about one
minute after the switch for the faulty heated seat is
depressed in either the Low or High direction. This
process will repeat every time the faulty heated seat
switch is actuated until the problem has been cor-
rected.

the element grids to the heated seat module through
the seat wire harness.
One temperature sensor is used for each front seat,
and it is located in the center insert area of the seat
cushion element. The heated seat sensors and their
pigtail wires are also captured between a covering
and the adhesive foam rubber backing. The heated
seat sensors are Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC)
thermistors. The sensors for both front seats receive
a voltage feed from a single output of the heated seat
module, but the module receives individual sensor
inputs from the driver side and passenger side sen-
sors.
The heated seat elements and sensors should not
be repaired. If damaged or faulty, the heated seat ele-
ment assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
One end of the heated seat element resistor wire is
connected to ground at all times through a splice in
the heated seat module ground circuit. Battery cur-
rent is directed to the other end of the heated seat
element resistor wire by the energized N-channel
Field Effect Transistor (N-FET) located within the
heated seat module. The heated seat module will
energize the N-FET only when the heated seat
switch is in the Low or High position and the heated
seat sensor indicates that the seat cushion surface
temperature is below the selected (Low or High) tem-
perature set point. As electrical current passes
through the heating element grid, the resistance of
the wire used in the element disperses some of that
electrical current in the form of heat. The heat pro-
duced by the heated seat element grid then radiates
through the seat trim cover, warming its occupant.
The resistance of the heated seat sensor increases
and decreases as the surface temperature of the seat
cushion cover changes. The heated seat module sup-
plies each sensor with a 5v voltage feed, then uses
the sensor resistance to determine when the heated
seat element grids need to be cycled on or off in order
to maintain the selected temperature set point.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
ELEMENT
The heated seat module will self-diagnose shorted
or open heated seat element circuits and sensor cir-
cuits. Refer to Heated Seat System Diagnosis and
Testing in this section for additional diagnosis and
testing procedures. To manually check the heated
seat element, proceed as follows. The wire harness
connectors for the seat cushion and seat back heating
elements and sensor are located on the right side of
the seat, near the edge of the seat cushion frame.
The proper connector can be identified by the foam
wrapping.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 inter-
mittent 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) Position the appropriate seat in the full for-
ward position.
(2) Make certain the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.
(3) Disconnect the heated seat element connector
which requires testing. Check for continuity between
the two heated seat element circuit cavities while
moving the appropriate seat cushion. Refer toWir-
ingfor the location of complete heated seat system
wiring diagrams. There should be continuity. If OK,
the elements within the seat assembly test OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, replace the faulty seat heating ele-
ment, refer to the procedure in this section.
(4) Test the seat wire harness between the heated
seat module connector and the appropriate heated
seat wire harness connector for shorted or open cir-
cuits. If OK, element is OK, proceed with testing the
heated seat sensor and module. If not OK, repair the
shorted or open seat wire harness as required.
REMOVAL
Do not remove the heating element from the seat
or seat back cushion. The original element is perma-
nently attached to the seat cushions and cannot be
removed without damaging the cushion. The replace-
ment heating element is designed to be applied
directly over the original seat heating element.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the appropriate seat cushion or seat
back trim cover. Refer to the Body section of this
manual for the procedures.
(3) Disconnect the inoperative heated seat cushion
or seat back element electrical connectors.
(4) Locate the wires leading from the inoperative
heating element and cut them off flush with the edge
of the original heating element.
INSTALLATION
(1) Peel off the adhesive backing on the back of the
replacement heating element and stick directly over
the original heating element (Fig. 3).
CAUTION: During the installation of the replace-
ment heating element, be careful not to fold or
crease the element assembly. Folds or creases will
cause premature failure.

HEATED SEAT ELEMENT (Continued)

(2) Connect the new heating element electrical
connectors (Fig. 2).
(3) Connect the battery negative cable.
(4) Verify heated seat system operation.
(5) Install the appropriate seat cushion or seat
back trim cover. Make certain the seat wire harness
is correctly routed through the seat and seat back.
HEATED SEAT SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat temperature sensor is a Negative
Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. One tem-
perature sensor is used for each seat. This tempera-
ture sensor is located in the seat cushion heating
element on all models.
The heated seat temperature sensor cannot be
repaired or adjusted and must be replaced if defec-
tive. The heated seat cushion element must be
replaced if the temperature sensor is defective. Refer
to the procedure in this section of the service man-
ual.
OPERATION
When the temperature of the seat cushion cover
rises, the resistance of the sensor decreases. The
heated seat module supplies five-volts to one side of
each sensor, and monitors the voltage drop through
the sensor on a return circuit. The heated seat mod-
ule uses this temperature sensor input to monitorthe temperature of the seat, and regulates the cur-
rent flow to the seat heating elements accordingly.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
SENSOR
NOTE: Any resistance values (OHMSV) given in the
following text are supplied using the automatic
range generated by a FLUKETautomotive meter. If
another type of measuring device is used, the val-
ues generated may not be the same as the results
shown here, or may have to be converted to the
range used here.
(1) Position the driver seat in the full rearward
position.
(2) Unclip the heated seat module from the bottom
of the drivers seat cushion pan.
(3) Back-probe the heated seat module wire har-
ness connector, do not disconnect. Check cavity (#7
for passenger, #8 for driver seat) for a range in volt-
age from approx. 1.72 ± 3.0 volts. It should be within
this range, If OK check the heated seat element. If
NOT OK, check for the proper 5 volt supply to the
heated seat sensor, from the module. Refer to Wiring
for specific information. If 5 volts is not being sup-
plied to the sensor from the module, replace the
heated seat module.
(4) Test the seat wire harness between the heated
seat module connector and the heated seat wire har-
ness connector for shorted or open circuits. If OK,
refer toDiagnosis and Testing the Heated Seat
Modulein Electronic Control Modules, for the
proper heated seat module diagnosis and testing pro-
cedures. If not OK, repair the shorted or open heated
seat wire harness as required.
REMOVAL
(1) For heated seat sensor replacement procedure
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED SEATS/
HEATED SEAT ELEMENT - REMOVAL).
HEATED SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The momentary, bidirectional rocker-type heated
seat switch (Fig. 4) provides a resistor-multiplexed
signal to the heated seat module via a mux circuit.
Each switch has a center neutral position and
momentary Low and High positions so that both the
driver and the front seat passenger can select a pre-
ferred level of seat heating. Each heated seat switch
has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps,
which indicate the selected mode (Low or High) of
the seat heater. These indicator lamps also provide
Fig. 3 Heating Element Installation

2 - REPLACEMENT HEATING ELEMENT
DRHEATED SEAT SYSTEM 8G - 7
HEATED SEAT ELEMENT (Continued)

diagnostic feedback for the heated seat system. Each
switch also has an incandescent bulb, which provides
dimmer controlled back lighting of the switch when
the headlamps or park lamps are on.
The heated seat switches are both mounted in the
instrument panel center bezel, located in the lower
center of the instrument panel. The two switches are
snapped into the mounting holes of the heated seat
switch bezel, and the heated seat switch bezel is
secured with screws to the instrument panel center
bezel. The heated seat switches are differentiated by
the keyway in the connector receptacle on the backs
of the switches and keyway on the switch housing.
The instrument panel wire harness connectors for
the heated seat switches are keyed to match the con-
nector receptacles on the switches so that the two
heated seat switches can only be connected to the
proper heated seat electrical.
The two LED indicator lamps and the incandescent
bulb in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If
the indicator lamps or back lighting bulb are faulty
or damaged, the individual heated seat switch must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The heated seat switches receive battery current
through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position.
Depressing the heated seat switch rocker to its
momentary High or Low position provides a hard-wired resistance signal to the heated seat module.
This signal tells the module to energize the heated
seat element of the selected seat and maintain the
requested temperature setting. If the heated seat
switch is depressed to a different position (Low or
High) than the currently selected state, the heated
seat module will change states to support the new
selection. If a heated seat switch is depressed a sec-
ond time, the heated seat module interprets the sec-
ond input as a request to turn the seat heater OFF.
The High and Low LED indicator lamps in the
heated seat switches receive battery current through
a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit when the
ignition switch is in the On position. The ground side
of each indicator lamp is controlled by the heated
seat module. This control of the switch indicator
lamps also allows the module to provide diagnostic
feedback to the vehicle operator or technician to indi-
cate heated seat system faults by flashing the indica-
tor lamps on and off. One side of the incandescent
back lighting bulb in each heated seat switch is con-
nected to ground at all times. The other side of the
incandescent bulb is connected to the fused panel
lamps dimmer switch signal circuit. These bulbs are
energized when the park lamps or headlamps are
turned on, and their illumination intensity is con-
trolled by the panel lamps dimmer switch.

HORN SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The dual-note horn system features dual electro-
magnetic horn units. The horn system includes the
following major components:
²Horn- The two horns are located on the left
side of the engine compartment below the Integrated
Power Module (IPM).
²Horn Switch- The horn switch is molded into
the driver airbag trim cover.
OPERATION
The horn system operates on battery current
received through a fuse in the Integrated Power
Module (IPM). The horn system circuit is designed so
that the system will remain operational, regardless
of the ignition switch position.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN SYSTEM
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the horn system requires the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper Diag-
nostic Procedures manual. The DRBIIItscan
tool can provide confirmation that the PCI data
bus is functional, that all of the electronic mod-
ules are sending and receiving the proper mes-
sages on the PCI data bus, and that the horns
are being sent the proper hard wired outputs
for them to perform their functions.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
In most cases, any problem involving continually
sounding horns can be quickly alleviated by removing
the horn fuse from the Integrated Power Module
(IPM).WARNING: DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM

AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN
RELAY
DESCRIPTION - PCM OUTPUT
The 5±pin, 12±volt, Automatic Shutdown (ASD)
relay is located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). Refer to label on PDC cover for relay location.
OPERATION
OPERATION - PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts)
to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With certain
emissions packages it also supplies 12±volts to the
oxygen sensor heating elements.The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD
relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switch-
ing its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut±down, meaning the
12±volt power supply to the ASD relay will be de-ac-
tivated by the PCM if:
²the ignition key is left in the ON position. This
is if the engine has not been running for approxi-
mately 1.8 seconds.
²there is a crankshaft position sensor signal to
the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
OPERATION - ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM
that the ASD has been activated. The relay is used to
connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition
coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt + power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay
is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the
ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).
