Title: SEAT: FRONT POWER SEAT CONTROL SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model with Memory): One or more Power Seat Motors do not Operate; 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon [04/2018 -        ]

One or more Power Seat Motors do not Operate

DESCRIPTION

Signals are input into the position control ECU assembly. The built-in ECU manages the signals received from the position control ECU assembly and operates each motor. If the position control ECU assembly receives 2 or more operation signals for the same motor, the motor will be stopped. Manual operation resumes when the position control ECU assembly receives only 1 signal.
