Seat Track: Description and Operation
Fig. 7 DR Driver Power Seat Track
The eight-way power seat option includes a power seat track assembly located under each front seat. The power seat track assembly replaces the standard
manually operated seat tracks. The lower half of the power seat track is secured at the front with two bolts to the floor panel seat cross member, and at
the rear with two bolts to the floor panel. Four nuts secure the bottom of the seat cushion frame to the upper half of the power seat track unit.
The power seat track assembly cannot be repaired, and is serviced only as a complete assembly. If any component in this assembly is faulty or damaged,
the entire power seat track must be replaced.
The power seat track unit includes three reversible electric motors that are secured to the upper half of the track unit. Each motor moves the seat adjuster
through a combination of worm-drive gearboxes and screw-type drive units.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two separate vertical adjustment motors. These motors can be operated independently of each other, tilting
the entire seat assembly forward or rearward; or, they can be operated in unison by selecting the proper power seat switch functions, which will raise or
lower the entire seat assembly. The third motor is the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the seat track in the forward and rearward directions.
