Suburban Seat Heater Failure

My 2020 Chevy Suburban with the Duramax diesel is giving me fits. The driver's seat heater isn't working – doesn't get warm at all, and there's an error code stored about it. I'm betting the seat heating mat is toast. Anyone else seen this?

Summary of the thread

The driver's seat heater in a 2020 Chevy Suburban is not functioning, with an error code indicating a potential issue. The primary suspect is a faulty heating element within the seat. While a control module issue is possible, the consistent failure suggests the heating element is the main problem. Professional diagnosis is recommended to confirm the issue, and a workshop can test the element directly.

Given the error code and lack of warmth, a faulty heating element within the seat is a strong possibility. Have you checked the fuse associated with the seat heater circuit? Also, does this occur consistently, or intermittently?

Thanks for the reply! I did check the fuse, it's fine. And yeah, it's consistent. Never works, never gets warm. What are the chances it's something besides the heating element itself?

Understood. While less probable given the consistent failure and stored error, a control module issue could theoretically be at fault. However, considering the symptoms, the heating element remains the prime suspect. I would recommend seeking professional diagnosis to confirm. A workshop should be able to test the element directly.

Appreciate the insight. Sounds like I'm headed for the shop. Got a quote for about 390€ to replace the seat cushion. Sigh. Thanks again!
