There are 3 reversible motors operating the Power Seats:

    • The front height motor
    • The rear height motor
        The front and back height raises and lowers individually of each other. When the Entire Seat Switch is operated both motors work at the same time.
    • The Forward/Back Motor
        The forward/back motor is operated by the Entire Seat Switch.

Forward/Back Motor Operation

    • The forward operation of the Entire Seat Switch utilizes the following circuits:
      • The circuit 285 and switch contacts applies battery voltage.
      • The circuit 284 and the contact of the Entire Seat Switch ground G305.
    • The back operation of the Entire Seat Switch utilizes the following circuits:
      • The circuit 284 and switch contacts applies battery voltage.
      • The circuit 285 and the contact of the Entire Seat Switch ground G305.
    • Reversed polarity cause the motor to run in the opposite direction and drive.

Front and Rear Motors Operation

    • The up operation of the Entire Seat Switch utilizes the following circuits:
      • The circuit 282 and circuit 286 applies battery voltage for the rear and front seat motors.
      • The circuit 287, circuit 283 and the Power Seat Switch to G305.
    • In order to move the entire seat down a similar action occurs.

Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB)

    • Each motor contains an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB).
    • When the motor is overloaded the ECB resistance increases until opening.
    • When the overload is removed the ECB closes and resistance returns to normal.
