The power seat system for this vehicle includes the
following major components:
•
Power Seat Adjuster - Depending on the
seat,
four-way
or
eight-way
power,
the
adjuster (6) may be equipped with up to four
electric motors.
There are three reversible motors that operate
the power seat adjuster. The motors are con-
nected to worm-drive gearboxes that move the
seat adjuster through a combination of screw-
type drive units.
The front and rear of a seat are operated by
different motors. They can be raised or low-
ered independently of each other. When the
center seat switch is pushed in the Up or
Down direction, both the front and rear motors
operate in unison. The forward/rearward motor
is operated by pushing the center seat switch
in the Forward or Rearward direction, which
moves the entire seat in the selected direction
on all models.
Each motor contains a self-resetting circuit
breaker to protect it from overload. Consecu-
tive or frequent resetting of the circuit breakers
must not be allowed to continue, or the motors
may be damaged.
The power seat adjuster cannot be repaired,
and is serviced only as a complete unit (Refer
to 23 - BODY/SEATS/SEAT ADJUSTERS -
REMOVAL).
•
Power Seat Recliner - The power seat
recliner (3) replaces the manual seat recliner.
The power seat option includes an electrically
operated power seat back recliner mechanism.
The power seat recliner switch is integral to
the power seat switch assembly, but is actu-
ated with a separate switch knob.
The power seat recliner motor assembly is
mounted in the place of a seat hinge on the
outboard side of the seat. The upper hinge
plate of the power seat recliner mechanism is
secured with two screws to the seat back
frame and is concealed beneath the seat back
trim cover and padding. The lower hinge plate
and the motor and drive unit of the power seat
recliner
mechanism
is
secured
with
two
screws to the seat cushion frame, and is con-
cealed by the outboard seat cushion side
shield.
The power seat recliner motor cannot be
repaired. If the unit is faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.
•
Power Seat Switches - Two power seat switches are used per vehicle if equipped with power seats. One
seat switch is used for each front seat. Each switch is mounted in the appropriate seat cushion side shield.
Refer to the appropriate power seat switch later in this section for additional information.
