Sensor, Seat Track Position: Description
The Seat Track Position Sensor (STPS) (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 STPS housing has a mounting slot containing an integral latch feature (1) and slides on and latches to a stamped metal blade-type bracket located on the inboard side of the upper inboard seat adjuster track near the rear of both the driver and front passenger seats. A molded connector receptacle (3), integral to the STPS 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 STPS cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the STPS must be replaced.
