2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE seat

PRELIMINARY TEST
Before testing the individual components in the
heated seat system, check the following:
²If the heated seat switch LED indicators do not
light with the ignition switch in the On position and
the heated seat switch in the Low or High position,
check the fused ignition switch output (run) fuse in
the junction block. If OK, refer toHeated Seat
Switch Diagnosis and Testingin this section. If
not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
²If the heated seat switch LED indicators light,
but the heating elements do not heat, check the
power seat circuit breaker in the junction block. If
OK, refer toHeated Seat Element Diagnosis and
Testingin this section of the manual. If not OK,
replace the faulty power seat circuit breaker.
DRIVER HEATED SEAT
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are mounted in the
instrument panel center lower bezel (Fig. 2), which is
located near the bottom of the instrument panel cen-
ter stack. The two three-position rocker-type
switches, one switch for each front seat, provide a
resistor multiplexed signal to the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM) through separate hard wired circuits.Each switch has an Off, Low, and High position so
that both the driver and the front seat passenger can
select a preferred seat heating mode. Each switch
has two Light-Emitting Diodes (LED), one each for
the Low position and the High position, which light
to indicate that the heater for the seat that the
switch controls is turned on. Each switch is also back
lit by a replaceable incandescent bulb.
The heated seat switches and their LEDs cannot
be repaired. If either switch or LED is faulty or dam-
aged, the entire switch unit must be replaced. The
incandescent switch illumination bulb and bulb
holder units are available for service replacement.
OPERATION
There are three positions that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, or High.
When the top of the switch rocker is fully depressed,
the High position is selected and the high position
LED indicator illuminates. When the bottom of the
switch rocker is fully depressed, the Low position is
selected and the low position LED indicator illumi-
nates. When the switch rocker is moved to its neutral
position, 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 ele-
ments in each front seat, one for the seat cushion (Fig.
5)and the other for the seat back. One type of heated
seat element is offered. All models use two resistor wire
heating elements for each seat that are connected in
series with the Heated Seat Module (HSM).
The seat heating elements are glued to the seat and
seat back cushions. The heated seat elements can be
replaced if faulty or damaged, service replacement seat
or seat back elements are available. Refer to the pro-
cedure in this section for detailed instructions.
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.

seat heater B(+) driver circuit as required.
NOTE: WHEN CHECKING HEATED SEAT ELE-
MENTS FOR CONTINUITY, BE CERTAIN TO MOVE
THE HEATING ELEMENT BEING CHECKED. MOV-
ING 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 MOVED
IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION. FAILURE TO CHECK
THE ELEMENT IN VARIOUS POSITIONS COULD
RESULT IN AN INCOMPLETE TEST.
(3) Check for continuity between the SEAT
HEATER B(+) DRIVER circuit cavity of the C2 con-
nector and the ground circuit cavity. There should be
continuity at all times (even upon moving or sitting
in the seat). If OK, proceed with testing the other
components in the heated seat system. If not OK,
replace the open heating element. Refer to the proce-
dure in this section of the manual.
