Climate Control Seat System

SEAT: CLIMATE CONTROL SEAT SYSTEM: OPERATION CHECK


1. CLEAN AIR FILTER AND PERFORM DUCT INSPECTION
(a) Remove the rear seatback assembly and rear seat cushion assembly.
(b) Check if the duct of the seat climate control controller is disconnected or cracked.
(c) Clean the air filter of the seat climate control controller.
HINT:
The amount of air passing through the seat climate control controller (Peltier) may decrease if one of the following occurs: 1) duct disconnection; 2) duct cracks; 3) severe clogging of the air filter; or 4) deterioration of blower performance. If any of these occurs, the thermistor operates excessively, which may cause the seat to be unable to heat up or cool down properly.

2. INSPECT CLIMATE CONTROL SEAT OPERATION
(a) When the climate control seat switch is turned on, check that the seat heater and blower operate based on the seat temperature.
(b) If the seat temperature increases as a result of the seat heater operation, check that the seat heater operation stops and the blower operation continues.
HINT:
Based on the cabin temperature, seat temperature, etc., the seat heater operation time varies.
