POWER SEAT TRACK (Continued)
the power seat track fails to operate in more than
one direction, proceed as follows:
(1) Check the power seat fuse in the power distri-
bution center. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace
the faulty fuse.
(2) Remove the power seat switch from the seat.
Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit
cavity of the power seat switch wire harness connec-
tor. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the power distribution center as required.
(3) Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the power seat switch wire harness con-
nector
and
a
good
continuity. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the
open circuit to ground as required.
(4) Test the power seat switch as described in this
group. If the switch tests OK, check the wire harness
between the power seat switch and the motor for
shorts or opens. If the circuits check OK, replace the
faulty power seat track (adjuster) assembly. If the
circuits are not OK, repair the wire harness as
required.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the appropriate seat from the vehicle.
(Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS/SEAT - REMOVAL).
(2) Remove the power seat switch from the seat.
Refer to the procedure in this section of the service
manual.
(3) Remove four seat track mounting nuts from
cushion pan.
(4) Disconnect the power seat electrical and
remove the seat track from the seat cushion.
(5) Remove the necessary components that must
be transferred to the replacement seat track (seat
belt buckles, wire harness, etc.).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the necessary components that must be
transferred to the replacement seat track (seat belt
buckles, wire harness, etc.).
(2) Position the seat track and install the retaining
nuts on the seat cushion pan studs. Torque the bolts
to 25 N·m.
(3) Route and connect the power seat electrical on
the seat track and cushion pan.
(4) Install the power seat switch on the seat. Refer
to the procedure in this section of the service man-
ual.
(5) Install the seat in the vehicle (Refer to 23 -
BODY/SEATS/SEAT - INSTALLATION).
(6) Connect the negative battery cable.

LUMBAR CONTROL SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power lumbar seat option includes an electri-
cally operated lumbar support mechanism. A single
two-way momentary power lumbar switch is integral
with the power seat switches. The power lumbar
switch is secured to the back of the seat cushion side
shield with screws, and the switch paddle protrudes
through a hole to the outside of the shield. The
switch paddle is located in a shallow depression
molded into the outer surface of the seat cushion side
be
shield that helps to shroud it from unintentional
actuation when entering or leaving the vehicle.
The power lumbar switches cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the seat switch
assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
When the power lumbar switch paddle is actuated,
a battery feed and a ground path are applied through
the switch contacts to the power lumbar adjuster
motor. The motor operates to move the lumbar
adjuster 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 motor to run in the
opposite direction.
The power lumbar switch should not be held
applied in either direction after the adjuster has
reached its travel limit. The power lumbar adjuster
motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to pro-
tect it from overload. However, consecutive or fre-
quent resetting of the circuit breaker must not be
allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged.
REMOVAL
The power lumbar switch is integral with the other
power seat switches. Refer to the appropriate driver
or passenger power front seat switch removal and/or
installation procedure.
LUMBAR MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The power lumbar seat option includes an electri-
cally operated lumbar support mechanism. The only
visible evidence of this option is the separate power
lumbar switch control paddle that is located on the
outboard seat cushion side shield, next to the other
power seat switch control knobs. The power lumbar
adjuster and motor are concealed beneath the seat
back trim cover and padding, where they are secured
