Genesis Seat Heating Issue

Hey, I'm having trouble with the seat heating in my 2016 Hyundai Genesis with a gasoline engine. The driver's side doesn't get warm, and there's an error code. I'm thinking it might be the heating mat, but I'm open to ideas.

The conversation centers around a seat heating issue in a 2016 Hyundai Genesis, where the driver's side seat doesn't warm up and displays an error code. The initial suspicion is a faulty heating mat, but another possibility is a malfunctioning thermal sensor in the seat cushion. It is suggested to use a scanner to compare sensor readings from both seats to identify any discrepancies before considering repairs, and professional assistance may be necessary if the issue persists.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had the same thing happen with my old BMW 3 series. Same symptoms: no heat and an error code. For me, it was a bad thermal sensor in the seat cushion. Have you checked the sensor readings with a scanner? Might give you a clue before you tear into the seat.

Thanks! Could you tell me which sensor values I should be looking at and what the readings should be? I don't want to just start replacing stuff without knowing for sure.

Don't replace anything yet. My sensor reading was way off, like a short or open circuit. If your scanner does live data, compare the readings from both seats. That'll show you if one is obviously bad. But yeah, it could be the heating element too. I ended up taking mine to a shop to get it fixed. It's hard to get to the heating element without the right tools.

Thanks for the extra info. I'll check the sensor readings and probably take it to a technician if needed. I appreciate the advice and your experience.
