3. CHECK SEAT HEATER FUSE

Remove the seat heater fuse and inspect visually.

Is the fuse blown out?

• Yes > Replace the fuse.

• No > Check the power supply and ground circuits.

4. CHECK SEAT HEATER RELAY

1. Remove the seat heater relay from the relay holder.

2. Measure the resistance between seat heater relay terminals.

Preparation tool: Circuit tester

Terminal No.	Inspection conditions	Standard	Circuit
36 — 37	Always	1 M? or more

36 — 37

Apply battery voltage between terminals 38 — 39.

Less than 1 ?

3. Replace the seat heater relay if the inspection result is not within the standard.

5. CHECK POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT

1. Check power supply circuit

(1) Disconnect the harness connector of seat heater switch.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(3) Measure the voltage between harness connector terminal and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(R43) No. 7 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the voltage 12 V or more?

• Yes > Go to step 2.

• No > Check the harness between the seat heater switch and fuse.

2. Check ground circuit

Measure the resistance between harness connector terminal and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(R43) No. 2 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 10 ??

• Yes > Go to step 3.

• No > Repair the harness.

3. Check ground circuit

Measure the resistance between seat heater switch terminals.

Connector & terminal

(R43) No. 7 — (R43) No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 10 ??

• Yes > The power supply and ground circuits are normal.

• No > Replace the seat heater switch.

6. SEAT HEATER UNIT

1. Disconnect the seat heater unit connector, and check the continuity between terminals of connector.

Connector & terminal

No. 1 — No. 3:
No. 3 — No. 4:

LOW

No. 1 — No. 4:

2. If no continuity exists, replace the seat heater module with a new part.

7. SEAT HEATER SWITCH

1. Inspect the continuity between the seat heater switch terminals.

Connector & terminal

No. 7 — No. 2:
No. 7 — No. 4:
No. 7 — No. 8:

LOW

No. 7 — No. 1:
No. 7 — No. 2:
No. 7 — No. 3:

2. If no continuity exists, replace the seat heater switch with a new part.
