Power Seats: Operation: Notes

The rack and pinion drive system consists of a reversible motor, switch and housing, vertical drive gears, and horizontal rack and pinion drives.

The pinion housing and motor assembly is attached to the movable section of the track and provides horizontal movement. Vertical movement is controlled by a worm and sector gear arrangement. Drive units are located at the front and rear of the seat. The tilt function is controlled by actuating either the front or rear sector gear. Pinion housing and motor are serviced as a complete assembly. Other components can be serviced individually.
