CHR seat heating malfunction

My 2020 Toyota CHR electric with 99314 km has a seat heating issue. It doesn't get warm. Fuses are fine, but an error is stored in the memory. Could this be a simple fix, or a costly repair? I suspect the seat heating mat itself, within the seat, is the problem.

I own a CHR too. I had a similar issue last winter. The seat heating just quit on me, no heat whatsoever. Did the error code give you any specific information?

Yes, the error code points towards a malfunction in the seat heating circuit. I'm trying to gauge if this is something I can tackle myself, or if it's best left to professionals. Was the error code similar in your case? And if so, what ended up being the problem?

Yep, same error. Honestly, I wouldn't mess with it too much yourself. Airbags are in the seats in some models, and you don't want to accidentally set them off. I took mine to a workshop; they replaced the heating mat.

Understood, that's good advice. Airbags are definitely something I don't want to accidentally trigger! I'll book it in with a trusted workshop then. Just got a quote for around 390€, seems reasonable considering the complexity. Thanks again for your help!
