INSPECTION

1. WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to “Seat Heater System” in the wiring diagram. Seat Heater System > WIRING DIAGRAM">

2. DIAGNOSTIC CHART

Symptoms	Repair order
Seat heater does not operate.	1. Check the fuse. Seat Heater System > INSPECTION">
	2. Check the seat heater relay. Seat Heater System > INSPECTION">
	3. Check the seat heater system power supply and ground circuit. Seat Heater System > INSPECTION">
	4. Check the seat heater module. Seat Heater System > INSPECTION">
	5. Check the seat heater switch circuit. Seat Heater System > INSPECTION">

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.

Shock sensors (dealer option)
The shock sensors trigger the alarm system when they sense impacts applied to the vehicle and when any of their electric wires are cut. The alarm system causes the horn to sound and the hazard warning flashers to flash for a short time when the sensed impact is weak, but it warns of a strong ...

Inspection
COOLING(H4DO) > ThermostatINSPECTION1. Check that the thermostat does not have deformation, cracks or damage.2. Check that the thermostat valve closes completely at an ambient temperature.3. Immerse the thermostat and a thermometer in water. Raise water temperature gradually, and check the temper ...

Fastening the seatbelt
WARNING Never use a belt that is twisted or reversed. In an accident, this can increase the risk or severity of injury. Keep the lap belt as low as possible on your hips. In a collision, this spreads the force of the lap belt over stronger hip bones instead of across the weaker ...
