The lumbar support system consists of the following components:
• | Seat Lumbar Horizontal Adjuster Relay |
• | Seat Lumbar Vertical Adjuster Relay |
• | Seat Lumbar Horizontal Motor |
• | Seat Lumbar Vertical Motor |
• | SEAT Circuit Breaker 20 A |
Lumbar Switch
The seat lumbar switch controls the lumbar horizontal and vertical motors located
in the seat back through relays that are located under the seat cushion. Battery positive
voltage is supplied at all times to the seat lumbar switch from the H SEAT LUM Fuse
located in the IP fuse block.
Lumbar Adjuster Relays
There are two lumbar adjuster relays, horizontal and vertical. Battery positive
voltage is supplied at all times to both relays from the SEAT Circuit Breaker located
in the IP fuse block. Ground is supplied to both relays through the relay ground circuit
and G301. Each relay contains two coils and two sets of switch contacts. With the
relay in the inactive or de-energized state, the lumbar motor control circuits are
closed to ground through the relay switch contacts and the relay ground circuit.
Lumbar Motors
The lumbar support system consists of two lumbar motors, horizontal and vertical,
that operate independently of each other. The horizontal motor moves the lumbar support
forward or rearward, and the vertical motor moves the lumbar support up or down. Each
motor contains an electronic circuit breaker (PTC), that opens the circuit in the
event of a circuit overload and will reset only after the voltage has been removed
from the circuit.
Lumbar Operation
Both lumbar motors are reversible. For example, when the lumbar switch is operated
to move the lumbar support forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the
lumbar switch contacts and the lumbar forward relay control circuit. The
relay coil then energizes, causing the forward relay contacts to close to battery
positive voltage. Battery positive voltage is then applied through the lumbar motor
forward control circuit to the lumbar horizontal motor. The motor is grounded through
the lumbar motor rearward control circuit and the rearward relay contacts. The motor
then runs to drive the lumbar support forward toward the occupant's back until the
switch is released. Moving the lumbar support rearward works similarly to moving the
lumbar support forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied
on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. The lumbar
vertical motor is also powered this way.
