500 — Terms and Abbreviations

FMI—Failure Mode Indicator. The part of a J1587, J1939, and CAN fault code that identifies how part of a de-
vice, or item on a device, failed.
MSF—Modular Switch Field
SA—Source Address; indicates numeric assignment for a device that communicates on J1939.
SAM Cab—Signal Detect and Actuation Module Cab ("SAM Cabin"); this ECU controls mainly cab-related func-
tionality. See G02.04 — SAM Cab for more information.

501 — General Information

The heated seats system is an option to provide heating for the driver seat or the driver and passenger seats.
The heated seats system includes the following components:
• Driver seat
• Passenger seat
• Driver-side seat module
• Passenger-side seat module
• Seat heating element
Heated seats are activated by switches located on the driver-side and passenger-side seat module. The SAM
Cab provides power (pin 12) and ground (pin 5) to the system from connector X1. There is no multiplexing sup-
plied to the heated seats.
The heater system in the seat is a closed loop, wire heating element. When the switch on the seat module is set
to the "ON" position, power passes through a thermostat to the heating wire. When the thermostat reaches the
 
upper limit, between 115 and 118 F (46 and 48 C), the circuit in the thermostat opens and causes the elements
 
to cool. When the thermostat reaches its lower limit, between 81 and 114 F (27 and 46 C), the circuit closes and
power to the the elements is restored, causing the elements to heat up. This cycle repeats until the switch on the
seat module is turned to the "OFF" position.
