Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual: Tilt and Telescopic Manual Switch Circuit

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual / Suspension / Steering Column / Power Tilt And Power Telescopic Steering Column System / Tilt and Telescopic Manual Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

Different voltage values are sent to the multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU by operating the tilt and telescopic switch. The multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU then judges which motor and in which direction that motor should operate based on the voltage value.
