Seat Illumination Circuit

Circuit diagnosis

DESCRIPTION

The seat illumination can be canceled using the overhead J/B switch.
The turning on and off of the seat illumination is controlled by the main body ECU LH based on various signals received through BEAN communication.
The main body ECU LH includes a MOS-FET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor - Field Effect Transistor) circuit that fades the seat illumination in and out by duty control.
This MOS-FET circuit has an overheat protection function as a fail-safe. If the main body ECU LH becomes excessively hot, the seat illumination turns off and remains off.
Normal operation will resume when the conditions required to turn on the seat illumination are met again.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE


1. CHECK PERSONAL LIGHT (OPERATION)

HINT:
The personal lights and seat illumination share the same power source circuit. Therefore, if none of them come on, inspect the power source circuit first.

  1. Push the personal light switches.

  1. Check that personal lights come on.

    OK:
    Personal lights come on.

Go to step 7
OK


2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

  1. Turn the intelligent tester main switch on.

  1. Select the item(s) in the ACTIVE TEST, and check the operation.

3. INSPECT REAR DOME LIGHT ASSEMBLY (REAR SEAT ILLUMINATION)

  1. E115155E03
    Remove the rear dome light assembly.

  1. Connect the (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and the (-) lead to terminal 5, and then check that the seat illumination comes on.

    OK:
    Seat illumination comes on.

REPLACE OVERHEAD J/B

5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU LH - OVERHEAD J/B)

  1. E125556E01
    Disconnect the Q1 main body ECU LH connector.

  1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    Q3-3 (LGCY) - Body ground
    Always
    10 to 14 V



NG
Go to step 6
OK

REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU LH (COWL SIDE J/B LH)

6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU LH - OVERHEAD J/B)

  1. E125498E02
    Disconnect the Q1 main body ECU LH connector.

  1. Disconnect the R5 overhead J/B connector.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    Q3-3 (LGCY) - R5-12 (CTY)
    Always
    Below 1 Ω
    Q3-3 (LGCY) - Body ground
    Always
    10 kΩ or higher
