Where is the electric seat module of the 2012 Tiguan located?
2 Answers
The electric seat module of the 2012 Tiguan is located under the driver's seat, and the seat needs to be removed for access. 1. Introduction to the Seat Control Module: The seat control module is simply an integrated circuit board that controls the seat. Inside the sleek decorative cover of the electric seat, there is a metal frame constructed from high-strength steel plates through laser welding. Rails are welded onto the frame, equipped with gears, along with components such as micro-wall bidirectional rotating motors, stepless regulators, various switches, and electronic control units. 2. Configuration: The Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with ESP (Electronic Stability Program) body stability system, EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), and ASR (Traction Control System). Features like the less common EDS (Electronic Differential Lock), EPB (Electronic Parking Brake), Auto Hold function, and TPR (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) are also standard configurations on the Tiguan, highlighting Volkswagen's strong emphasis on safety.
Regarding the location of the power seat module in the 2012 Tiguan, after driving for over a decade, I've noticed that in most Volkswagen models, it's typically located under either the driver or passenger seat, adjacent to the seat rail or frame. This placement is designed for easy wiring connection and switch operation. You can spot a small box by removing the seat cushion or lifting the bottom trim. If the module fails, seat adjustments may malfunction—remember to disconnect the battery before inspection to avoid short-circuit risks. I recommend purchasing a small manual in advance to review the disassembly method and prevent interior scratches. Regularly check the plug connections to prevent faults caused by loosening.
