Toyota Sienna Service Manual / Seat / Rear no. 2 Seat assembly (w/ Power Stowing Function) / System description

1. DESCRIPTION OF POWER REAR NO. 2 SEAT WITH STOWING FUNCTION

A power rear no. 2 seat with stowing function has been adopted for the third-row seats.
The power rear no. 2 seat with stowing function electrically stows and returns the seat when the power folding seat switch is operated.
This system is adopted for both the left and right seats. Each system operates independently.

2. FUNCTIONS OF MAIN COMPONENTS

Components	Function
Folding Motor (Cushion Position Sensor)	The fold seat control ECU provides the voltage that is used to operate the folding motor. The folding motor stows and returns the third-row seat. (A Hall type position sensor is installed in the folding motor to detect the seat cushion position.)
Reclining Motor (Seatback Position Sensor)	The fold seat control ECU provides the voltage that is used to operate the reclining motor. The reclining motor reclines the seatback of the third-row seat back and forth. (A Hall type position sensor is installed in the reclining motor to detect the seatback position.)
Release Actuator	The fold seat control ECU provides the voltage that releases the actuator that locks the seat leg.
Lock Switch	Turns off when the third-row seat leg is secured to the floor and sends a signal to the fold seat control ECU.
Fold Lock Switch	Turns off when the third-row seat cushion is stowed and sends a signal to the fold seat control ECU.
Power Rear No. 2 Seat Switch	Sends a seatback angle adjustment signal to the fold seat control ECU when this switch is operated. The seatback angle is adjusted based on this signal.
Fold Seat Switch	Sends a third-row seat folding-down, stowing, or return operation signal to the fold seat control ECU when this switch is operated. The third-row seat is folded down, stowed, or returned to the original position based on this signal.
