POWER SEAT SYSTEM





The driver six-way power seat is available on this vehicle. The power seat system allows the seat occupant to electrically adjust the seating position using the power seat switch assembly (2) located on the outboard seat cushion side shield (3).

The six-way power seat includes a six-way adjustable seat cushion track (1). The power seat can be adjusted up, down, front up, front down, forward, rearward. The power seat system is also available with the heated seat option, Heated Seats - Description for additional information on the heated seats.





The power seat adjuster (1) contains two reversible motors that are connected to worm-drive gearboxes that move the seat adjusters through screw-type drive units. These motors are the height adjust motor (3) and the front tilt motor (2). The third motor on the power seat adjuster is responsible for the fore and aft movement of the power seat. The fore/aft motor (4) is a reversible motor that is connected through two flex drive cables to a worm-drive gearbox that moves the seat adjuster through a screw-type drive unit. Each motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect it from overload. Consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breakers may damaged the motors.

The power seat adjuster assembly (1) includes the following major components:

The Front Tilt Motor (2) is located on the upper power seat adjuster assembly and controls the up and down movement of the seat front only. The front tilt motor is available as a service part and if found to be inoperative or damaged should be replaced, Power Seat Motor - Removal.

The Height Adjust Motor (3) is located on the rear of the lower power seat adjuster assembly and controls the up and down movement of the entire seat. The height adjust motor is available as a service part and if found to be inoperative or damaged should be replaced, Power Seat Motor - Removal.

The Fore/Aft Motor (4) is a reversible motor that is connected through two flex drive cables to a worm-drive gearbox that moves the seat adjuster through a screw-type drive unit. This motor is responsible for the fore and aft movement of the power seat. The fore/aft motor is available as a service kit that includes the flex drive cables. If the motor is found to be inoperative or damaged it should be replaced, Power Seat Motor - Removal





Power Seat Switch - Vehicles may be equipped with a driver side six-way power seat switch. The power seat switches are paddle-type levers mounted on the outboard seat side shields. Movement of the seat cushions mimics the action of the switch paddles.
