Passenger Power Seat Track: Description

2004 Toyota Matrix XR, FWD, StandardSECTION Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The power seat option includes a electrically operated power seat track and motor assembly unit located under each front seat. The lower half of the power seat track is secured to the floor panel via four studs and nuts that must be accessed from the underside of the vehicle. Four bolts secure the bottom of the seat cushion frame to the upper half of the power seat track unit. Four additional bolts secure the seat back frame to the power seat track unit.

The power seat track unit includes two reversible electric motors that are secured to the upper half of the track unit. Each motor moves the seat adjuster through a combination of worm-drive gearboxes and screw-type drive units. The CS passenger seat base and seat back recliner can be adjusted forward and backward.

One motor is the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the seat track in the forward and rearward directions. The second motor is the recliner adjustment motor, which moves the seat back in the forward and rearward directions.

The power seat track unit cannot be repaired, and is serviced only as a complete unit. If any component in this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire power seat track unit must be replaced.
