Purpose. The purpose of this test is to
objectively measure the heated seat system in a seat assembly on a
bench or in a vehicle. This test measures the seated surface when
fully contacted by an occupant. Additionally this test verifies the
logic and controls, when tested in conjunction with GMW16052, for
the vehicle seat control system.
Applicability. This test procedure is
applicable to all seating systems with heated seats.
Remarks. This test procedure is intended to
measure the seat heater heat transfer to the top of the seat cover
and occupant for validation of the seat subsystem. A vehicle level
test can be conducted in conjunction with GMW16052 to include the
complete seat control subsystem. When testing a seat subsystem
outside of the vehicle, the vehicle logic needs to be simulated and
applied at the heated seat module in order to verify the module in
within the seat.
