Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2026 Repair Manual / Vehicle Interior / Seat / Rear Power Seat Control System(for Second Row) / Folding Motor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

HINT:

  • The rear power seat switch is a collective term for the rear power seat switch RH and the rear power seat switch LH.
  • The rear seatback frame sub-assembly is a collective term for the rear seatback frame sub-assembly RH and the rear seatback frame sub-assembly LH.

The fold seat control ECU receives switch operation signals from the rear power seat switch and fold seat switch assembly operates the fold motor according to the received signal. While the fold motor is operating, its built-in Hall IC detects the position of the rear seatback and sends a fold motor position sensor signal to the fold seat control ECU. The fold seat control ECU uses the Hall IC to detect abnormalities, such as if the rear seatback is jammed.
