Sensor, Seat Track Position: Description: Description
The seat track position sensor (2) is a Hall Effect-type sensor used on some vehicles. This sensor consists of a Hall Effect Integrated Circuit (IC) chip encased in potting material within a cavity of the molded plastic sensor housing.
The sensor housing has a mounting slot containing an integral latch feature (1) and slides and latches onto a stamped metal blade-type bracket located on the inboard side of the upper outboard seat adjuster track near the rear of both the passenger and driver front seats. A molded connector receptacle (3) integral to the sensor housing is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a connector and take out of the seat wire harness beneath the front seat cushion frame.
The seat track position sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire sensor must be replaced.
