POWER SEAT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The power seat system option allows the driver
and front seat passenger to electrically adjust their
seating positions for optimum control and comfort
using the power seat switches located on the out-
board seat cushion side shield of each front seat. The
driver side power front seat can be adjusted in eight
different directions: up, down, front up, front down,
rear up, rear down, forward, rearward and recliner
forward and rearward. The passenger side power
front seat can be adjusted in four different directions:
forward, rearward and recliner forward and rear-
ward. The power seat system receives battery current
through a 40 amp fuse in the Intelligent Power Mod-
ule and a 30 amp circuit breaker under the seat so
that the power seats remain operational, regardless
of the ignition switch position. WARNING: SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SEATBACK MOUNTED AIRBAGS (Fig. 1). BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR SERVICE ANY
SEAT OR POWER SEAT SYSTEM COMPONENT
YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO MIN-
UTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
A eight-way driver side power seat is standard on
highline models and optional on others. This option
includes a six-way adjustable seat cushion track and
a two-way power seat back. The eight-way driver side power seat is also avail-
able with the heated seat and/or memory seat system
that automatically positions the power seat for two
different drivers. Refer to Heated Seatsfor more
information on the heated seat option. Refer to
Description - Memory System in this section for
more information on the memory seat system.
RS POWER SEAT SYSTEM8Ns-7

OPERATION
The memory switch has three momentary switch
buttons labeled Set, 1 and 2. When the memory set
switch is depressed, a resistance value is sent to the
Body Control Module via hard wired connections.
When the memory system is in ªsetº mode a chime
will be generated by the body control module. See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the memory switch.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MEMORY SWITCH
(1) Remove the memory set switch from the driv-
ers door panel (Refer t o 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
SEATS/MEMORY SET SWITCH - REMOVAL). (2) Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity of the
memory select switch MUX circuit between the C2
wire harness connector for the body control module
and the wire harness connector for the memory
switch. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the open or shorted MUX circuit
as required. (3) Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity of the
memory select switch return circuit between the C2
wire harness connector for the body control module
and the wire harness connector for the memory
switch. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, repair the open or shorted return circuit
as required. (4) Using an ohmmeter, test the resistances of the
memory switch at the pins in the switch connector
receptacle in each switch position. See the Memory
Switch Test Table. If OK, refer to Diagnosis and
Testing Memory System in this section. If not OK,
replace the faulty memory set switch.

from the driver side front door. Using a thin flat-
bladed pry tool, gently pry the switch bezel away
from the drivers door trim panel. (3) Disconnect the memory switch wire harness
connector from the memory switch. (4) Remove the two screws that secure the memory
switch to the back of the driver side front door trim
panel switch bezel. (5) Remove the memory switch.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the memory switch and install and
tighten the two screws that secure the memory
switch to the back of the driver side front door trim
panel switch bezel. Tighten the screws to 2.2 N´m (20
in. lbs.). (2) Reconnect the memory switch wire harness
connector to the memory switch. (3) Install the trim panel switch bezel onto the
driver side front door. (4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a passenger side power seat
utilize a four-way power seat switch. This four-way
power seat switch features two knobs ganged
together on the outboard seat cushion side shield. The switch is secured to the back of the seat cush-
ion side shield with two screws. However, the control
knobs for the seat switch unit must be removed
before the seat switch can be removed from the side
shield. The power seat switch cannot be repaired. If one
switch is damaged or faulty, the entire power seat
switch unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
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 or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direc-
tion until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster 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.

INSTALLATION
(1) Position the power seat switch onto the out-
board seat cushion side shield. (2) Install and tighten the screws that secure the
power seat switch to the inside of the outboard seat
cushion side shield. Tighten the screws to 1.5 N´m
(14 in. lbs.). (3) Reconnect the power seat wire harness connec-
tor to the power seat switch connector receptacle. (4) Position the outboard seat cushion side shield
onto the seat cushion frame (5) Install and tighten the screws that secure the
outboard seat cushion side shield to the seat cushion
frame. Tighten the screws to 1.5 N´m (14 in. lbs.). (6) Install the switch knobs on the switch control
levers, if equipped. (7) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
DRIVER POWER SEAT TRACK
DESCRIPTION
The eight-way driver side power seat option
includes a electrically operated power seat track
located under the driver side front seat. The front
power seat track on the driver side of the vehicle also
provides the mounting location for the Memory Seat/
Mirror Module (MSMM). The power seat circuit
breakers are mounted on the rear of the driver side
power seat track, just behind the seat rear trim
panel. The lower half of the power seat track is
secured to the floor panel via four studs and nuts
that must be accessed from the underside of the vehi-
cle. Four bolts secure the bottom of the seat cushion
pan to the upper half of the power seat track unit.
Four additional bolts secure the seat back frame to
the power seat track unit. The power seat track unit includes four 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 four power seat
track motors used on models equipped with the
optional memory system incorporates a position
potentiometer integral to the motor assembly, which
electronically monitors the motor position. This
enables the memory system to function by referenc-
ing the motor positions programmed into the memory
seat/mirror module. 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. A third motor is the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the
seat track in the forward and rearward directions.
The forth motor is the recliner adjustment motor,
which moves the seat back in the forward and rear-
ward directions.
The power seat track unit cannot be repaired, and
is serviced only as a complete unit. If any component
in this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire power
seat track unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
When the driver side 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 or recliner adjuster motor.
The selected adjuster motor operates to move the
seat track or recliner through its drive unit in the
selected direction until the switch is released, or
until the travel limit of the adjuster 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 adjuster 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. See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the power seat switch functions
and the seat adjusting procedures.

The vehicle interior may contain a very small
amount of sodium hydroxide powder, a by-product of
airbag deployment. Sodium hydroxide powder can
irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat. Wear safety
glasses, rubber gloves, and long sleeved clothing
when cleaning any of the powder residue from the
vehicle.
If you find that the cleanup is irritating your skin,
run cool water over the affected area. Also, if you
experience nasal or throat irritation, exit the vehicle
for fresh air until the irritation ceases. If irritation
continues, see a physician.
UNDEPLOYED AIRBAG
The airbags must be stored in its original special
container until used for service. At no time should a
source of electricity be permitted near the inflator on
the back of an airbag module. When carrying or han-
dling an undeployed airbag module, the trim side of
the airbag should be pointing away from the body to
minimize possibility of injury if accidental deploy-
ment occurs. Do not place undeployed airbag face
down on a solid surface, the airbag will propel into
the air if accidental deployment occurs.

ican market are equipped with a Lower Anchors and
Tether for CHildren, or LATCH child restraint
anchorage system. The LATCH system provides for
the installation of suitable child restraints in certain
seating positions without using the standard equip-
ment seat belt provided for that seating position. The
second seat in these models are equipped with a
fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchor
(Fig. 3) and child restraint lower anchors (Fig. 2).
The third seat is equipped with only a fixed-position
child restraint upper tether anchor in the middle
seating position. Vehicles manufactured for sale out-
side of North America are equipped with fixed-posi-
tion child restraint upper tether anchors.
Vehicles manufactured for sale in North America
also have two lower anchors for each rear outboard
seating position (Fig. 2) in the second row seating
position. These anchors are welded to the seat cush-
ion frame. They are each accessed from the front of
their respective seats, at each side where the seat
back meets the seat cushion. These lower anchors
cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or dam-
aged, the seat must be replaced as a unit.
WARNING: DURING, AND FOLLOWING, ANY CHILD
RESTRAINT ANCHOR SERVICE, DUE TO IMPACT
EVENT OR VEHICLE REPAIR, CAREFULLY INSPECT
ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE, TETHER STRAPS
AND ANCHORS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION,
