DESCRIPTION
The Power Seat Control System carries out seat slide, front vertical, rear \
vertical, reclining and lumbar support
position adjustments electrically. Power seat switch and lumbar support switch.
In addition, operation of the memory switch makes it possible to store the positions of the slide, front vertical,
rear vertical and reclining adjustments in memory and return to the posi\
tion.
The component parts of this system and their function are described in t\
he following table.
 Parts Name\
 \
Function
 








Driver's Seat ECU
\
 
\


\


\


\

\

The seat ECU controls power operation, memory operation, and position re\
turn
operation of the power seat. When input is received from the power seat \
switch,
the relay inside the ECU is controlled and the power seat operates. The \
seat
memory and position return are controlled by mutual communication betwee\
n the
electrically operated Tilt and Telescopic ECU and the seat ECU.
 

Power Seat Switch\
 
\

\

Operation of this switch sends slide, front vertical, rear vertical, rec\
lining signals
to ECU.
 




Driving Position
Memory and Return
Switch\
 
\


\

\

Memory and Return Signals are sent to the seat ECU via the Tilt and Telescopic
ECU.
 






Lumbar Support
Switch
\
 
\


\


\

\

This switch is supplied with power from the DOOR fuse. When the switch i\
s
operated, power is supplied to the lumbar support motor controlling the \
direction
in which the motor turns and turning the current ON and OFF. This switch is not
connected to the ECU and the adjustment position cannot be stored in mem\
ory
for return operation.
 

Position Sensor
\
 
\

\
This sensor sends signals on the position of each motor (slide, front v\
ertical, rear
vertical and reclining) to the ECU for use in memory and return.
 

*Motor
\
 
\

\

These motors operate on current from the driver's seat ECU moving the various
parts of the seat directly. Each motor has a built±in circuit breaker.
*: Slide, Front Vertical, Rear Vertical, Lumbar Support and Reclining.
Motors contained in each seat are described in the following table.

HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the procedure on the following page.\

CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
Using the customer problem analysis check sheet for reference, ask the c\
ustomer in as much detail as
possible about the problem.
\b PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION,  SYMPTOM SIMULATION.
Confirm the problem symptoms. If the problem does not reappear, be sure to simulate the problem using
the ºProblem Simulation Methodsº.
When checking the problem symptoms, pay attention to the following points to\
accurately define the symp-
toms and the extent of the problem:
For ºNot Functioningº problems:
(1) Is the problem only in one part (e.g. ºreclining onlyº), or ever\
ything?
(2) Is the problem only for manual operation, only for position return opera\
tion, or for both manual and position return operation?
(3) Is tilt, telescopic and outer mirror operation normal?
(4) Does the problem occur with the ignition key inserted, or not inserted?
 MATRIX CHART OF PROBLEM SYMPTOMS
Confirm the order of inspection on the matrix chart for the particular problem symptom involved. For ºNot
Functioningº problems, pay attention to the points in \b. to find out the specifics of the problem, then choose
the most appropriate problem symptom from among those listed on the matr\
ix chart, and proceed with trou-
bleshooting accordingly.
 CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Proceed with diagnosis of each circuit in accordance with the inspection\
order confirmed in .
Determine whether the cause of the problem is in the sensor, actuators, wire harness and connectors, or
the ECU.
 POSITION SENSOR CHECK
This function checks that the signal from each position sensor is correctly input into\
the ECU when the
manual switch is turned ON. The instructions for this diagnosis are included in\
the flow chart for the position
sensor circuit.
 REPAIR
After the cause of the problem is located, perform repairs by following the i\
nspection and replacement pro-
cedures is this manual.
 CONFIRMATION TEST
After completing repairs, confirm that the problem is eliminated and that tilt, telescopic and outer mirror
operation is normal.

Position Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The position sensor senses movement of the seat and send
pulse signals to the ECU. The position sensor sends pulses
to the ECU in proportion to the amount of seat movement, as
shown in the diagram on the left.
The ECU uses the number of pulses to constantly calculate
the position relative to the memory position and returns the
seat to the memorized position.
If a malfunction occurs in a position sensor and a sensor sig-
nal is not input to the ECU even when the motor operates, the
ECU prohibits return operation.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1Position sensor check
C
P(1) Remove the driver's seat.
(2) Remove the bolts for the front vertical adjuster andlift the seat cushion up a little.
Notice: If the seat cushion is lifted to high, the har-
ness will be pulled and the clamp may come loose.
(3) Remove the ECU with the connector attached from where it is installed to the underside of the seat
cushion.
(1) Connect terminal CHK of the ECU to body ground to put the ECU into check mode.
(2) Measure the voltage between terminal SO of ECU and body ground.
HINT: Use an analog type meter.
(3) Check that the ªreadyº code is output as shown in the illustration.

(4) Operate the power seat switch and check thechange in the voltage when the seat is moving.
The lumbar support does not have a position sensor, so
the sensor check cannot be done.
(5) The changes in the output voltage when the input signal is normal and when it is abnormal are shown
in the illustrations. Compare the results with those
from (4) and diagnose the condition of each circuit.

The OK and NG codes continue to be output while
the manual switch is ON.

When the seat reaches the limit of movement, e.g.
when the slide position reaches the most forward
or back position, the voltage changes from the OK
code to the NG code.
After operating any of the system functions with no
problem and confirming the OK code and NG code
by comparing the amount of wavering of the
voltmeter needle, inspect the function with a
problem.

The amount of wavering of the voltmeter needle
depends on the meter.
