POWER SEATS
DESCRIPTION
Individually controlled, electrically powered front
seats are available as factory-installed equipment on
this model. Vehicles with this option can be visually
identified by the two separate power seat switches,
mounted on each of the front seat cushion side
shields (Fig. 1). The power seat system option allows
the front seating positions to be electrically adjustedfor optimum vehicle control and comfort. The power
seat cushion can be adjusted forward, rearward, front
up, front down, rear up, or rear down. The power
seat system for this vehicle includes the following
major components, which are described in further
detail later in this section:
²Power Seat Switches- Two power seat
switches are used per vehicle, one for the driver and
one for the front seat passenger. Refer to the left and
right power seat switch information later in this sec-
tion.
²Power Seat Tracks- Two power seat tracks
are used per vehicle, one for the driver and one for
the front seat passenger seats. Refer to the power
seat track information later in this section.
²Circuit Breaker- An automatic resetting cir-
cuit breaker (# 1) is located in the Junction Block
and is used to protect the power seat system from
current overload.
Hard wired circuitry connects the power seat sys-
tem components to each other through the electrical
system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are
integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed
throughout the vehicle and retained by many differ-
ent methods. These circuits may be connected to each
other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the
power seat system components through the use of a
combination of soldered splices, splice block connec-
tors and many different types of wire harness termi-
nal connectors and insulators. Refer to theWiring
section of this manual for more information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.

8N - 14 POWER SEATSKJ

OPERATION
The power seat system receives battery current
through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) and a circuit breaker in the Junction Block,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the appropri-
ate power seat track adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track
through its drive unit in the selected direction until
the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the
seat track is reached. When the switch is moved in
the opposite direction, the battery feed and ground
path to the motor are reversed through the switch
contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to run in the
opposite direction.
Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the power seat system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SEATS
Before any testing of the power seat system is
attempted, the battery should be fully-charged and
all wire harness connections and pins cleaned and
tightened to ensure proper continuity and grounds.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and joint connector location views for the var-
ious wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) If all power seats are inoperative, check the
automatic resetting circuit breaker in the Junction
Block. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DISTRI-
BUTION/CIRCUIT BREAKER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
(2) With the dome lamp on, apply the power seat
switch in the direction of the failure.
(3) If the dome lamp dims, the seat or the power
seat track may be jammed. Check under and behind
the seat for binding or obstructions.
(4) If the dome lamp does not dim, proceed with
testing of the individual power seat system compo-
nents and circuits.
SEAT TRACK
DESCRIPTION
The six-way power seat option includes a power
seat track assembly located under each front seat
(Fig. 2). The power seat track assembly replaces the
standard manually operated seat tracks. The lower
half of the power seat track is secured at the frontwith two bolts to the floor panel seat cross member,
and at the rear with one bolt and one nut to the floor
panel. Four bolts secure the bottom of the seat cush-
ion frame to the upper half of the power seat track
unit.
The power seat track assembly cannot be repaired,
and is serviced only as a complete assembly. If any
component in this assembly is faulty or damaged, the
entire power seat track must be replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat track unit includes three reversible
electric motors that are secured to the upper half of
the track unit. Each motor moves the seat adjuster
through a combination of worm-drive gearboxes and
screw-type drive units. Each of the three driver side
power seat track motors also has a position potenti-
ometer integral to the motor assembly, which elec-
tronically monitors the motor position.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two
separate vertical adjustment motors. These motors
can be operated independently of each other, tilting
the entire seat assembly forward or rearward; or,
they can be operated in unison by selecting the
proper power seat switch functions, which will raise
or lower the entire seat assembly. The third motor is
the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the
seat track in the forward and rearward directions.

SEAT TRACK (Continued)

The individual switches internal to the power seat
switch cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged
or faulty, the entire power seat switch unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat tracks can be adjusted in six differ-
ent ways using the power seat switches. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the power seat switch functions and
the seat adjusting procedures.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat track through its drive
unit in the selected direction until the switch is
released, or until the travel limit of the seat track is
reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite
direction, the battery feed and ground path to the
motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This
causes the adjuster motor to run in the opposite
direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the seat track has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
The power window system allows each of the door
windows to be raised and lowered electrically by
actuating a switch on the center console. A master
switch on the front of the center console allows the
driver to raise or lower each of the passenger door
windows and to lock out the individual switches on
the rear of the center console from operation. The
power window system receives battery feed through
fuse 13 in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), only
when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCES-
SORY position.
OPERATION
WINDOW SWITCH
The power window switches control the battery
and ground feeds to the power window motors. Both
of the rear door power window switches receive their
battery and ground feeds through the circuitry of the
front window switch. When the power window lock-
out switch is in the Lock position, the battery feed
for the rear door window switches is interrupted.
WINDOW MOTOR
Front door window lift motors use permanent type
magnets. The B+ and ground applied at the motor
terminal pins will cause the motor to rotate in one
direction. Reversing current through the motor ter-
minals will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite
direction.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

The power window master switch has a Auto-Down
feature on both front windows. The switch is
equipped with two detent positions when actuating
the power window OPEN. The first detent position
allows the window to roll down and stop when the
switch is released. The second detent position actu-
ates an integral express roll down relay that rolls the
window down after the switch is released. When the
express down circuit senses stall current (window
has reached end of down travel), the switch will turn
current off to the motor. The AUTO feature can be
cancelled by actuating the switch UP or DOWN while
window is in motion. If the electronic circuit in the
switch fails to detect a stall current, the auto down
circuit will time out within 9 to 14 seconds.
