An electronic control unit for a heating device of a vehicle seat that includes: a printed circuit board on which one or more heat sources are arranged; a printed circuit board temperature sensor which is thermally coupled to at least one of the one or more heat sources on the printed circuit board; and at least one heating wire temperature sensor configured to be thermally coupled to a heating wire of the heating device; and a data processing device configured to determine a temperature of the heating wire based on temperature measured values of the printed circuit board temperature sensor and of the at least one heating wire temperature sensor.

Electronic control unit for a heating device

A device for determining a temperature of a resistance heating device, the device includes: a temperature sensor configured to detect the temperature of the resistance heating device; and an electronic data processing and/or control device configured to calculate a temperature change of the resistance heating device on a basis of a change in a resistance value of the resistance heating device and a relationship between the resistance value and the temperature of the resistance heating device, the electronic data processing and/or control device configured to validate the temperature of the resistance heating device detected by the temperature sensor, taking into account the calculated temperature change of the resistance heating device.
