DESCRIPTION
Two heated seat sensors are used per vehicle, one
in each front seat cushion heating element. The
heated seat temperature sensor is a Negative Tem-
perature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor.
The heated seat sensors cannot be repaired or
adjusted and if found to be faulty, the complete
heated seat cushion element must be replaced.
OPERATION
The temperature sensor is a Negative Temperature
Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. When the temperature
of the seat cushion cover rises, the resistance of the
sensor decreases. The heated seat module supplies a
five-volt current to one side of each sensor, and mon-
itors the voltage drop through the sensor on a return
circuit. The heated seat module uses this tempera-
ture sensor input to monitor the temperature of the
seat, and regulates the current flow to the seat heat-
ing elements accordingly.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
HEATED SEAT SENSOR
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for
complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out infor-
mation.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the green 4-way heated seat mod-
ule wire harness connector.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, check the resistance
between cavities 2 and 3. The sensor resistance
should be between 50 kilohms at 15É C (60É F) and 2
kilohms at 30É C (85É F). If not OK, replace the
faulty seat element and sensor assembly.

3.
(3) Using a suitable ammeter in place of the fuse,
test amperage draw of the horn circuit. If amperage
draw is greater than 20 amps without the horn
switch depressed, a grounded circuit exists between
the fuse and the horn relay. Proceed to Step 4. If
amperage draw is greater than 20 amps with the
horn switch depressed, a grounded circuit exists
between the horn relay and the horn. Proceed to step
Step 5.
(4) Remove the horn relay from the IPM. If the
amperage draw drops to 0 amps, the horn switch or
circuit is shorted. If the amperage draw does not
drop to 0 amps, repair short at the IPM.
(5) Disengage a wire connector from one of the
horns. If amperage drops and the connected horn
sounds, replace the faulty horn. If amperage does not
drop with both horns disconnected and the horn
switch depressed, proceed to Step 6.

FIRING ORDERAUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The relay is located in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC). For the location of the relay within the
PDC, refer to the PDC cover for location. Check elec-
trical terminals for corrosion and repair as necessary
OPERATION
The engine switched battery (NGC vehicles)
informs the PCM when the ASD relay energizes. A 12
volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that
the ASD has been activated. This input is also used
to power certain drivers on NGC vehicles.
When energized, the ASD relay on NGC vehicles
provides power to operate the injectors, ignition coil,
generator field, O2 sensor heaters (both upstream
and downstream), evaporative purge solenoid, EGR
solenoid (if equipped) wastegate solenoid (if
equipped), and NVLD solenoid (if equipped).
The ASD relay also provides a sense circuit to the
PCM for diagnostic purposes. If the PCM does not
receive 12 volts from this input after grounding the
control side of the ASD relay, it sets a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM energizes the ASD
any time there is an engine speed that exceeds a pre-
determined value (typically about 50 rpm). The ASD
relay can also be energized after the engine has been
turned off to perform an O2 sensor heater test, if
vehicle is equipped with OBD II diagnostics.
As mentioned earlier, the PCM energizes the ASD
relay during an O2 sensor heater test. On NGC vehi-
cles it checks the O2 heater upon vehicle start. The
PCM still operates internally to perform several
checks, including monitoring the O2 sensor heaters.

IGNITION COIL
DESCRIPTION
The ignition coil assembly consists of 2 or 3 inde-
pendent coils molded together (Fig. 9) or (Fig. 10).
The coil assembly for the 3.3/3.8L is mounted on the
intake manifold. The coil assembly for the 2.4L is
mounted on the cylinder head cover. Spark plug
cables route to each cylinder from the coil.
OPERATION
The coil fires two spark plugs every power stroke.
One plug is the cylinder under compression, the
other cylinder fires on the exhaust stroke. The Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) determines which of
the coils to charge and fire at the correct time.
The Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay provides battery
voltage to the ignition coil. The PCM provides a
ground contact (circuit) for energizing the coil. When
the PCM breaks the contact, the magnetic energy in
the coil transfers to the secondary causing the spark.
The PCM will de-energize the ASD relay if it does
not receive the crankshaft position sensor and cam-
shaft position sensor inputs. Refer to Auto Shutdown
(ASD) RelayÐPCM Output, in this section for relay
operation.
