B2440 CADILLAC Description

  The Driver Seat Module (DSM) relies on inputs from thermistors located in the Driver and Passenger seat backs to control heated seat temperatures. The thermistors are 2 wire sensors supplied with a 5-volt referenced signal circuit and low reference circuit from the DSM. Resistance through the thermistors varies with temperature causing the heated seat sensor signal circuit voltage levels to decrease as the seat back temperatures rise.
