Fig.6 Seat Switches And Bezel - Standard Cab
PASSENGER POWER SEAT SWITCH
The power seat in standard cab models can be adjusted in six different ways using the power seat switches. The power seat switch for extended cab
models (club cab and quad cab) has an additional switch knob for adjusting the power lumbar support:
The switch is located on the lower outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion side shield on all models. Refer to the owner's manual in
the vehicle glove box for more information on the power seat switch functions and the seat adjusting procedures.
The individual switches in the power seat switch module cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged or faulty, the entire power seat switch
module must be replaced.
When a power switch control knob or knobs are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the switch contacts to the power
seat track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or recliner through its drive unit in the selected
direction until the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite direction, the
battery feed and ground path to the motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its travel limit. The power seat adjuster motors each
contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker must not be
allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged.
