Seat Formentor seat heating malfunction

I am writing to report an issue with the seat heating in my Seat Formentor, built in 2021, which is a hybrid model. The vehicle has 143260 km on the odometer. The seat heating system fails to provide warmth, and an error code is stored in the vehicle's error memory. I suspect the seat heating mat is defective. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

I had similar seat heater issues in my Formentor. Does the error memory specify which seat? It might be a faulty connection or the heating mat itself.

Thank you for your swift response. The error message does not specify a particular seat. When you mention 'heating mat,' are you referring to the heating element located within the seat cushion itself?

Yes, heating mat is the heating element inside the seat cushion. If the error isn't specific, it's harder to diagnose without proper tools. Best to get it checked by a workshop to confirm the faulty part. They can pinpoint if it's wiring or the heating element itself.

I appreciate you sharing that, it is useful information. I took the vehicle to a workshop and they confirmed the heating element in the seat cushion was defective. Automotive repair cost will be around 390€, including parts and labor. Thank you again for your help.
