Power Seats Operation
The left and the right power seat systems each consist of the following
components:
All motors operate independently of each other. The motors are controlled
by the seat switch. The seat switch is located on the outboard side of each
seat. Both vertical motors run simultaneously in order to move the entire
seat up and down. The horizontal motor moves the seat forward and backward.
The recline motor moves the angle of the seat back. The belt tower motor
moves the belt tower up and down.
Power Lumbar Operation
The left and the right lumbar systems each consist of the following
components:
• | A lumbar horizontal motor |
• | A lumbar vertical motor |
All motors operate independently of each other. The motors are controlled
by the lumbar switch. The lumbar switch is located on the outboard side of
each seat. The lumbar horizontal motor located in the seat back moves
the lumbar support toward the occupants back. The lumbar vertical motor
moves the support up and down along the seat back.
Memory Seat Operation
With memory, there are position sensors attached to each of the left
seat and the left lumbar motors, with the exception of the left belt tower
motor. The position sensors are monitored by a memory seat module (MSM).
A memory function switch is located in the armrest on the left front door
trim panel. The memory function switch records and recalls seat positions.
Seat position may be recorded for 2 different drivers. In order
to record a seat position, press and hold for 3 seconds the MEMORY-1
or MEMORY-2 button of the memory function switch. A chime will sound in
order to acknowledge the signal. When the memory seat module receives a
memory set message, the module records the feedback voltages from the position
sensors for the appropriate driver.
When the MEMORY-1 or MEMORY-2 button is pressed, a single
chime sounds in order to acknowledge the signal. Then, the memory seat module
receives the memory recall message. The MSM applies battery positive voltage
to the seat motors until the position sensor feedback voltages equal the
feedback voltages stored in memory for the appropriate driver. When a
keyless entry transmitter is used in order to unlock the vehicles doors,
the remote function actuator (RFA) module communicates the unlock command
and which driver performed the command to the MSM via a class 2
message. The driver has a number of personalized recall options when recalling
stored seat positions.
In order to move the seat manually, the memory seat module receives
the seat manual movement signals from the left seat switch. When a signal
is received, the MSM supplies battery positive voltage to the appropriate
motor(s) and the seat moves accordingly.
Heated Seats Operation
The left and the right heated seats system consists of the following
components:
| The heating elements are located in the seat cushion and in the seat
back. |
| The heated seat switch is located in the instrument panel, near the
heater and A/C control. |
When the heated seat switch is pressed the heated seat module applies
battery positive voltage to the seat. The heated seat module monitors the
seat surface temperature through a thermistor and maintains a pre-determined
temperature. When the heated seat switch is pressed once, the heated seat
module will set the seat temperature to high. When the heated switch is
pressed a second time, the heated seat module will set the seat temperature
to low. After the third press, the heated seat module stops applying battery
positive voltage to the heating elements. The heated seat module will
also turn off the heated seats whenever the ignition switch has been turned
off.
