Sensor, Seat Track Position: Removal
WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbags, airbag curtains, knee blocker, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS)/negative battery cable assembly from the negative battery post, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.
- Reach under the front seat cushion to access the Seat Track Position Sensor (STPS) (3) in a bracket (5) located on the inboard side of either the inner or outer, driver or passenger seat track.
- Disconnect the seat wire harness connector (4) from the STPS.
- Remove the screw (1) that secures the STPS mounting boss to the bracket.
- Using a small screwdriver, depress the STPS latch feature (2) and pull the STPS out of the bracket.
