Seat Position Sensor: Service and Repair

SEAT POSITION SENSOR







Removal and Installation

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.

NOTE:
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- If a seat with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

1. NOTE:
- The seat position sensor is mounted at the LH rear of the seat track.
- Position the driver seat forward enough so that upon removal the sensor can clear the magnetic bar and bracket.

Position the front seat to gain access to the seat position sensor.

2. Depower the system.
3. Remove the 2 bracket/magnet screws.
4. Remove the bracket/magnet.
5. Remove the seat position sensor screw.

6. NOTE: Make note of the wire harness routing for installation purposes.

Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the seat position sensor.
- To install, route the wire harness as noted during removal.

7. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
8. Repower the system.
9. After installation, position the driver seat from its forward most position to its rearmost position and then back again. While positioning the seat, make sure that the seat position sensor, the magnet and bracket and the wire harness do not come in contact with any other part of the seat that may cause damage.
