Title: SEAT: SEAT HEATER SWITCH (for Front Seat): INSPECTION (2008 Sequoia)

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT SEAT HEATER SWITCH LH



(a) Check the resistance.

(1) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition

3 (SW) - 7 (RV)

Switch OFF

2.7 to 4.1 kΩ

Switch ON (Min.)

Switch ON (Max.)

0.28 to 0.42 kΩ

HINT:

As the dial is being turned, the resistance changes gradually.

If the result is not as specified, replace the switch.

(b) Check the illumination operation.

(1) Apply battery voltage to the switch connector, and check that the seat heater switch illuminates.

OK:
