There are four reversible motors that operate each seat:
• | Front Height Adjuster Actuator Motor |
• | Rear Height Adjuster Actuator Motor |
• | Forward Backward seat Adjuster Actuator Motor |
• | Seat Recliner Actuator Motor |
The front height and the rear height of the seat are operated by different motors. The motors are raised or lowered independently from each other by using the front or rear height switch. The front and the rear height seat adjuster actuator motors run at the same time to move the entire seat up or down when the driver or the passenger seat adjuster switch is pushed to the UP or the DOWN position . When the entire seat up or down switch is used, both the rear height and the front height switches are being thrown at the same time. When the front seat height is too far down in relation to the rear seat height position ( tilted too far forward ) the submarine switch will open, disabling the front seat down and rear seat up switches.
The longitudinal adjustment uses the third motor. The forward/backward seat adjuster actuator motor runs to move the seat to the appropriate position when the driver or the passenger seat adjuster switch is pushed in the forward or backward position.
The recliner uses the fourth motor. The driver/passenger seat recliner actuator motor runs to move the seat to the appropriate position when the driver or the passenger seat adjuster switch is pushed in the recline forward or recline backward position.
Each motor contains an electronic circuit breaker (ECB) to protect it from an overload.
