Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
4 & 6-Way Seats
Operating mechanism has a transmission assembly incorporating solenoids and drive cables to the seat adjusters. 4-Way seats use one solenoid to control the horizontal seat movement and another to control the vertical seat movement. On 6-Way seats, an additional solenoid is used to control vertical movement of the rear of the seat.
When the control switch is actuated for a desired direction of movement the motor and one of the solenoids are energized simultaneously, and the solenoid plunger engages with the driving gear dog. The driving gear rotates the drive cables and operates both adjusters. When the control switch is released, a return spring disengages the solenoid plunger from the driving gear dog.
