Prius passenger electric seat issue
Summary of the thread
The passenger electric seat in a 2016 Toyota Prius is non-functional, with an error stored, possibly due to a heavily discharged or defective battery. Despite checking the seat harness and switch, the issue persists. A similar problem in another vehicle was resolved by addressing power supply inconsistencies, suggesting a professional inspection. Ultimately, a workshop visit confirmed a defective battery as the cause, leading to a repair.

Thank you for your response. When you mention checking the power supply, could you be more specific? Did you experience any voltage drops or other anomalies that might point to a definitive cause?

Most assuredly. Upon closer examination, the power supply feeding the seat exhibited inconsistencies, fluctuating erratically and ultimately precipitating a complete cessation of functionality. Whilst I endeavored to rectify the situation through rudimentary means, I must confess that the complexities involved necessitated the expertise of trained professionals. As such, I would strongly recommend a visit to your local workshop.

I appreciate your thorough explanation and recommendation. Indeed, after a visit to the workshop, it was confirmed that the battery was defective and had caused issues with the seat. The repair cost came to 290€. Thank you for your help.

I extend my sincerest sympathies regarding the predicament you are facing with your Toyota Prius. I, too, encountered a vexing matter concerning the electric seat functionality within my erstwhile Volvo XC60. The symptoms, as you articulate, bear a striking resemblance to those I endeavored to resolve, namely, the recalcitrant adjustment of the seat. I humbly inquire, have you meticulously scrutinized the integrity of the power supply to the seat? Might there exist a disruption in the electrical continuity?
