Drivers Heated seat turning off

[Rusty2009]

Oh well, my seat is playing up now! I can't be bothered with the hassles of taking it in under warranty, so will be having a poke about myself.

Computer at work doesn't seem to give me a fault code, just says one code, but no numbers!!!! Annoying. One thing I do notice, when I monitor the live data of what is happening during the heating up cycle, it will stay on forever and never stop heating. I can see the module turn off when the resistance voltage on the seat temp sensor reaches 3.02 volts, but for some reason it just turns back on and goes through the same cycle. Result being a nice toasty seat. Not a very convienient fix though!

I might have a poke around today and see what I see, if anything.

Rusty, is your seat still playing up? If so, would be interesting for you to monitor things on the MDI and see if it does the same??

Yes mate I will do it's been ok TBH since I reprogrammed the module turn it on and it will stay on number 3 till I tell it otherwise, What I have found is if you turn it on and don't sit in the seat it will turn off quickly unless you put it to 2.

But Yes I can do some live data viewing no problem

if i had a warranty i would be banging down there door about it
but i have no option but to under take the fix myself

Just need to make sure you get the right pads and part numbers mate, Also is it just the drivers side or both that affected by this problem, I would guess both would be.
