Power Seat Motor Position Sensor: Description and Operation

MEMORY SEAT POSITION SENSORS

On vehicles with a driver memory seat, the driver power seat track is equipped with memory seat position sensors for the horizontal, front UP/DOWN and rear UP/DOWN directions. The memory seat position sensors are located on each of the seat track motors and are serviced separately from the power seat track assembly. The driver memory seat also has a memory seat position sensor for the backrest recliner. This sensor is serviced as an assembly with the motor and recliner mechanism.

After installing a new memory seat position sensor, the driver seat must be cycled full range of travel to zero that sensor. For example, if only a new horizontal memory seat position sensor was installed, position the seat all the way FORWARD and then REARWARD.
