Seat Position Sensor: Service and Repair
Seat Track Position Sensor - Installation
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
1. Reach under the front seat cushion to position the seat track position sensor (4) to the open end of the bracket (1) located on the inboard side of
either the inner or outer, driver or passenger seat track (5).
2. Push the sensor firmly into the bracket until the snap feature (2) locks into place.
3. Reconnect the seat wire harness connector (3) to the sensor connector receptacle located on the end of the sensor. Be certain that the latch on the
connector is fully engaged.
4. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The ORC Verification Test procedure should be performed following service of any SRS
component. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Verification Tests/Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test.
