The power seat system consists of the following components:
• | Seat Front Vertical Motor |
• | Seat Rear Vertical Motor |
• | PWR SEAT Circuit Breaker 25 A |
Seat Adjuster Switch
The seat switches provide both power and ground to the selected seat motors.
Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch from
the PWR SEAT Circuit Breaker located in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block. Ground
is supplied to the seat adjuster switch through the switch ground circuit and G301.
Seat Motors
There are three seat position motors; the horizontal motor, front vertical motor,
and the rear vertical motor. All of the seat motors operate independently of each
other. The seat horizontal motor moves the entire seat forward and rearward. The
seat vertical motors may operate independently to tilt the front or rear of the seat
up or down. Both vertical motors can also run simultaneously to move the entire seat
up or down. Each motor contains an electronic circuit breaker (PTC), that opens the
circuit in the event of a circuit overload and will reset only after voltage has
been removed from the circuit.
Seat Operation
All seat motors are reversible. For example, when the seat switch is operated
to move the entire seat forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the
switch contacts and the seat horizontal motor forward control circuit, and ground
is applied through the rearward switch contacts and the seat horizontal motor rearward
control circuit. The motor then runs to move the entire seat forward until the switch
is released. Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire
seat forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the
opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. The seat front
and rear vertical motors are also powered this way.
