    Power seat motor (slide motor) Receives signal from position control ECU, motor operates, and seat slides forward and rearward.
    Power seat motor (reclining motor) Receives signal from position control ECU, motor operates, and seat tilts and reclines.
    Power seat motor (slide motor) Receives signal from position control ECU, motor operates, and seat cushion slides.
    Power seat motor (front vertical motor) Receives signal from position control ECU, motor operates, and seat front vertical raises and lowers.
    Power seat motor (lifter motor) Receives signal from position control ECU, motor operates, and seat rear vertical raises and lowers.
    Lumbar support adjuster motor Receives signal from position control ECU, motor operates, and lumbar support can be adjusted.
    Position control sensor (reclining, lifter, slide, front vertical control) Is built into each front seat adjuster and sends seat position data to position control ECU so that it can detect seat positions at all times.
    Front power seat switch (reclining, lifter, slide, front vertical) Based on switches operated, seat adjuster signals are input into position control ECU and seat is adjusted accordingly.
