Lumbar Support System Components
The lumbar support system for the driver and passenger seat consists of the
following components:
• | Seat lumbar motor assembly |
Lumbar Support System Operation
Battery voltage is supplied to the lumbar switch through the power seat circuit
breaker. While the switches are in an inactive state the switch contacts are closed
to the switch ground circuit. When a switch is pressed to an active state the switch
contact is closed to the battery voltage supply circuit. Each motor is controlled
by the lumbar switch through 2 motor control circuits. The motors are bidirectional
and the direction of motor rotation is determined by which of the motor control circuits
is switched to battery voltage while the other remains grounded.
Memory Lumbar Support System Operation
The driver seat module (DSM) controls the lumbar motor but will not store memory
lumbar positions. The DSM supplies the lumbar adjuster switch assembly
with a battery positive reference voltage. When a switch is pressed to an active state
the switch contact is closed to the reference voltage circuit. Battery voltage on
a switch signal circuit indicates to the seat module the switch status is active.
Each seat adjuster motor is controlled by the seat module through 2 motor control
circuits. While the seat adjuster motors are in an inactive state the motor control
circuits are closed to ground circuit contacts within the seat module. The seat module
operates the seat adjuster motors by switching one of a motor's control circuits to
battery voltage. The seat adjuster motors are bidirectional and the direction of adjuster
motor rotation is determined by which of the adjuster motor control circuits is switched
to battery voltage while the other remains grounded.
