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.

Power Seat Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the power seat switch is operated, a signal is sent from the power seat\
switch to the ECU and the ECU
sends a signal to the motor to make it operate (except for the lumbar s\
upport).
Even if a malfunction should occur with the position sensor and return opera\
tion is prohibited, manual operation
will occur as normal.

Parts Name\
 \
Function
 


Passenger's Seat
ECU\
 
\

\

The passenger seat ECU controls the distance the seat slides when the po\
wer seat switch is
operated and also controls the power slide distance during return operat\
ion.
 

Power Seat Switch\
 
\

\

When the power seat switch is operated, a seat slide signal is sent to t\
he ECU. The reclining
slide of the switch is linked directly to the motor operation.
 

Slide Position Sensor\
 
\

\

The slide position sensor detects the slide distance during walk±in o\
peration and
inputs the information to the ECU.
 


Slide Neutral Limit
Switch\
 
\

\

This switch detects the neutral position of the seat slide and input the\
information to the ECU.
 


Reclining Front Limit
Switch\
 
\

\

This switch detects when the seatback is inclined fully forward and info\
rms the
ECU.
 


Reclining Rear Limit
Switch\
 
\

\

This switch detects when the seatback is pulled back and informs the ECU\
.
 Motor\
 \
There are two motors, one each for seat sliding and for reclining.
 


Tension Reducer and
Buckle Switch\
 
\

\

This switch inputs a signal to the ECU to inform it whether the tongue o\
f the
passenger's seat belt is inserted in the buckle.
