Front Seat Cushion Heater Replacement

Warning

To avoid personal injury, perform a passenger presence sensor rezeroing/ learn on the passenger presence system whenever you remove or replace the seat cushion trim. Failure to do so may cause the system to malfunction.

Warning

The passenger seat cushion assembly is serviced in a kit with the airbag front passenger presence module, cushion pad (and if equipped, heat mat, vent mat, vent mat support, comfort pads). All components in the service kit are assembled and calibrated as a unit and must be replaced as a complete assembly to prevent possible injury to the occupant. Using only some of the components in the service kit will cause the passenger presence system to operate improperly.

Caution

General Motors does not support the application of any additional adhesive to reinstall seat components. Use only the pre-applied adhesive to install the seat components. Use of additional adhesives may damage seat components, cause safety concerns, or performance issues. Removal Procedure
