• | Driver seat horizontal adjuster motor |
• | Driver seat front vertical adjuster motor |
• | Driver seat rear vertical adjuster motor |
• | Driver seat recliner adjuster motor |
• | Passenger seat adjuster switch |
• | Passenger seat antisubmarine switch |
• | Passenger seat horizontal adjuster motor |
• | Passenger seat front vertical adjuster motor |
• | Passenger seat rear vertical adjuster motor |
• | Passenger seat recliner adjuster motor |
Power Seat Operation
The seat adjuster motors are controlled by the seat adjuster switch.
Battery positive voltage and ground is supplied to the seat adjuster motors
through the seat adjuster switch. All of the seat adjuster switches are closed
to ground when in an inactive state. When a seat adjuster switch is pressed
one of the adjuster motor supply circuits is supplied battery positive voltage,
and ground is provided through the supply circuit to the inactive switch.
The adjuster motors are reversible and the direction of the adjuster motor
rotation is determined by which of the supply circuits is closed to battery
positive voltage and which remains grounded.
The antisubmarine switch is mounted under the power seat and prevents
the seat from being tilted to far forward. The battery positive voltage supply
to the front vertical motor down switch and rear vertical motor up switch
is supplied through the antisubmarine switch. When the seat reaches the point
where no more forward tilt is allowed the seat frame contacts the antisubmarine
switch and opens the battery positive voltage supply to the front vertical
motor down switch and rear vertical motor up switch.
