Toyota Venza: Power Seat does not Return to Memorized Position

Toyota Venza Service Manual / Seat / Front Power Seat Control System(w/ Memory) / Power Seat does not Return to Memorized Position

DESCRIPTION

When either the M1 or M2 switch is pressed, the outer mirror control ECU assembly LH sends a switch signal to the main body ECU (driver side junction block assembly) via CAN communication. Then, the main body ECU (driver side junction block assembly) sends a recall request signal to the position control ECU and switch assembly. The position control ECU and switch assembly operates each motor to achieve each memorized position value.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

The front power seat control system (w/ Memory) uses the CAN communication system. First, confirm that there is no malfunction in the communication system by checking communication function of the CAN communication system. Refer to the How to Proceed with Troubleshooting procedure (See page ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK FRONT POWER SEAT CONTROL SYSTEM

(a) Check that each function of the power seat operates normally by using the switches on the position control ECU and switch assembly (See page ).

OK:

Each function of the power seat operates normally using the switches on the position control ECU and switch assembly.

GO TO PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE

2.	CHECK SEAT POSITION MEMORY FUNCTION

(a) Store a seat position in memory and check that the buzzer sounds to indicate that a position has been stored (See page ).

NOTICE:

The seat position will not be recorded if the SET switch and 2 of the memory switches are pressed simultaneously.
If a memorizing operation has failed, release all switches. The seat memory function does not operate unless the switches are released.

OK:

Seat position memory function is normal.

GO TO OTHER DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE (Power Seat Position is not Memorized)

3.	CHECK SEAT POSITION RESTORING FUNCTION

(a) Under each of the following conditions, check that the seat position restoring function operates by pressing the M1 switch or M2 switch (See page ).

Ignition switch is off.
The ignition switch is ON, and the shift lever is in P.*1
The ignition switch is turned off within 180 seconds after the driver door is closed and opened.*2
The ignition switch is turned off within 60 seconds after the driver door is opened and closed.*3

Result	Proceed to
Seat position restoring function does not operate at all.	A
Seat position restoring function does not operate when the condition is *1.	B
Seat position restoring function does not operate when the condition is 2. Seat position restoring function does not operate when the condition is 3.	C

GO TO STEP 9

GO TO STEP 10

4.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (SEAT POSITION MEMORY)

(a) Store a seat position in memory for each of the M1 and M2 switches (See page ).

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Driver Seat / Data List.

(f) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.

GO TO OTHER DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE (Power Seat Position is not Memorized)

5.	REPLACE OUTER MIRROR CONTROL ECU ASSEMBLY LH

(a) Replace the outer mirror control ECU assembly LH (See page ).

6.	CHECK SEAT POSITION RESTORING FUNCTION

(a) Restore a memorized seat position (See page ).

(b) Check that the buzzer sounds for 0.1 seconds and the seat automatically moves to the memorized position.

NOTICE:

The seat will not return to the memorized position if 2 of the seat memory switches are pressed simultaneously.
If a restoring operation has failed, release all switches. The seat memory restoring function does not operate unless the switches are released.

OK:

Seat position restoring function operates normally.

END (OUTER MIRROR CONTROL ECU ASSEMBLY LH WAS DEFECTIVE)

7.	REPLACE POSITION CONTROL ECU AND SWITCH ASSEMBLY

(a) Replace the position control ECU and switch assembly (See page ).

8.	CHECK SEAT POSITION RESTORING FUNCTION

(a) Store a seat position in memory (See page ).

(b) Restore a memorized seat position (See page ).

NOTICE:

The seat will not return to the memorized position if 2 of the seat memory switches are pressed simultaneously.
If a restoring operation has failed, release all switches. The seat memory restoring function does not operate unless the switches are released.

OK:

Seat position restoring function operates normally.

END (POSITION CONTROL ECU AND SWITCH ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE)

REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (DRIVER SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)

9.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (PARK (P) STATE)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Driver Seat / Data List.

(e) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.
