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.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
- The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.

NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
- 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.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic procedure again.

1. NOTE: The power seat track seat position sensor is mounted at the outboard front of the seat track.

The manual seat track seat position sensor is mounted at the LH front of the seat track.

NOTE: Position the driver seat rearward enough so that upon removal the sensor can clear the bracket.

Depower the system.

2. Disconnect the seat track position sensor electrical connector.
3. Remove the screw and the seat track position sensor.
4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
5. Repower the system.
- 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, bracket or the wire harness do not come in contact with any other part of the seat that may cause damage.
