Location of Seat Position Sensor on 2009 Sportage 4WD V6-27L
Seat Position Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The STPS operated via a non-contacting magnetic proximity sensing device combined with a simple electronic circuit resulting in the ability of
producing two separate and distinct logic level signals.
The STPS output signal is altered by the proximity of a separate ferro-magnetic shunt, which is linked via the seat track. The logic signal produced is the
result of the proximity device being activated (no shunt present) or deactivated (shunt present).
When the seat is in the forward position zone of the track, the sensor gives a low current (prohibit) signal. When the seat is in the rear position zone of
the track, it gives a high current (enable) signal.
