SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

  1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The power seat control system is equipped with the following function: The front seats are equipped with electric adjuster slide, reclining, lifter, front vertical and lumbar support adjustment functions. The power seat control system (w/ memory) is equipped with the following functions: Individual seat positions for two different drivers can be stored for the slide, reclining, front vertical and lifter. Similarly, power mirror positions and tilt and telescopic positions for two different drivers can be stored. These are stored/restored together with the seat positions by pushing the seat memory switch. The above operations are performed using the multiplex communication system. As a safety precaution, the system does not allow seat position restoration unless the ignition switch is in the on position and the shift lever is in the P position. Manual adjustment of the lumbar support function can be performed even when the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU) is not functional. When the power seat control switch is operated, a command signal is sent to the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU). The position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU) then activates the appropriate seat motor as needed. This memory system does not use a seat position sensor. The seat position is detected by counting pulses that are output when the motor turns. The position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU) is designed so that a malfunction of the seat memory system will not interfere with seat control. The seat memory switch also sends signals to the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU) to memorize a given seat position. Two seat positions can be memorized. The seat memory switch is later used to send signals to the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU) to return the seat to either of the memorized positions.
  2. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT (w/ MEMORY) The following functions are available. COMPONENTS FUNCTION Components Function Seat slide motor Slides the driver side seat back and forth based on signals from the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU). Seat reclining motor Reclines the driver side seat back and forth based on signals from the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU). Seat front vertical motor Moves the front part of the driver side seat cushion up and down based on signals from the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU). Seat lifter motor Moves the driver side seat cushion up and down based on signals from the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU). This motor operates, and driver side seat rear vertical raises and lowers, and driver side seat rear vertical raises and lowers. Set switch Memory switch When the set and memory switches are pressed simultaneously, SET, 1 or 2 switch signal is input to the power window regulator switch assembly (power window master switch) and sends the seat memory switch signal via the multiplex communication system. When only the memory switch is pressed, SET, 1 or 2 switch signal is input to power window regulator switch assembly (power window master switch) and driver side seat position changes according to memory.
  3. SYSTEM OPERATION The front power seats adjustment and position memory are shown in the chart below. SEAT ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION Seat Adjustment Function Driver Side Front Passenger Side Slide Power and memory Power Reclining Power and memory Power Front Vertical Power and memory Power Lifter Power and memory Power Lumbar Support Power Power In the memory function, the memory switch operation signal is transferred from the power window regulator switch assembly (power window master switch) to the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU) via the multiplex communication line. Then, either the seat position is stored in memory or the previously stored seat position is recalled to set the appropriate seat position.

DESCRIPTION

When the power seat control switch is operated, a command signal is sent to the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU). The front power seat switch then controls the appropriate seat motor as needed. This memory system does not use a seat position sensor. The seat position is detected by counting pulses that are output when the motor turns. If there is no pulse output from the motor, the motor will stop operating. The position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU) is designed so that any malfunction of the seat memory system will not interfere with manual seat control.

If the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU) detects a low motor speed, abnormal activity, or sudden motor current fluctuation, the system will stop the motor. If the motor operates continuously for 120 seconds or more, the system will stop the motor until the switch is turned on again.

The seat memory switch sends signals to the power window regulator switch assembly (power window master switch) via the multiplex communication system to memorize a given seat position. This memory system does not use a position sensor. The seat position is detected by counting pulses that are output when the motor turns. If there is no pulse output from the motor, the motor will stop operating. The seat memory switch is later used to send signals to the front power seat switch to return the seat to one of the memorized positions.

The power seat memory operation can be performed only when the ignition switch is on and the shift lever is in the P position.

The position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU) is contained in the switch assembly.

During manual operation, only one switch signal is accepted. If signals are input from 2 or more switches simultaneously, all of them are ignored, except when signals are input from the front vertical switch and lifter switch simultaneously. In this case, the signal from the lifter will operate.

During automatic operation, a manual switch input will override any other operations, i.e. automatic operations will stop and the manual input operation only will be accepted. For example, if a manual switch input is activated during a seat store/restore operation, the previous operation will cease and manual operation will be performed. After the manual operation is performed, the previous automatic operation will not resume.

The power mirror store/restore operation is unaffected by manual switch inputs.

The front power seat switch does not allow the restore operation of the power seat when the system detects that the voltage of terminal SYSB is less than 8.0 +- 0.5 V for 30 msec. or is more than 10 +- 0.5 V for 30 msec.

This circuit is the power source circuit for the position control ECU and switch assembly (power seat control switch and ECU).

HINT

  1. Manual adjustment of the slide, reclining, or lumbar can be performed even when the front power seat switch is not functional if current is allowed to flow into terminals +B and SYSB. Lumbar support operation can be performed at all times.
