Note
If the battery voltage is low, the PTC heater (w/ PTC Heater), seat heater system (w/ Seat Heater System) and climate control seat system (w/ Climate Control Seat System) may not operate. When "High Power Consumption Partial Limit On AC/Heater Operation." is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, inspect the battery, referring to On-vehicle Inspection for the charging system.

Tech Tips
If the battery voltage is low, "Operation Limitation Control History Count (Level 1)" and "Operation Limitation Control History Count (Level 2) is counted.
PTC Heater (w/ PTC Heater)
Seat heater system (w/ Seat Heater System)
If the seat heater system does not operate normally, refer to the troubleshooting.
Climate control seat system (w/ Climate Control Seat System)
If the climate control seat system does not operate normally, refer to the troubleshooting.
If the battery voltage is low, the PTC heater may not operate. Refer to Data List for the power steering system.

When the battery is disconnected, or servo motor or the air conditioning amplifier assembly is replaced, be sure to perform servo motor initialization.
Tech Tips
Use the table below to help determine the cause of problem symptoms. If multiple suspected areas are listed, the potential causes of the symptoms are listed in order of probability in the "Suspected Area" column of the table. Check each symptom by checking the suspected areas in the order they are listed. Replace parts as necessary.
Inspect the fuses and relays related to this system before inspecting the suspected areas below.
