Seat Position Sensors
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and 2015 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The seat motors are equipped with 2 wire hall effect type position sensors internal to the motor. The sensors are monitored by the seat memory control module and are used to determine seat positions when storing or recalling memory settings. The seat memory control module supplies the sensors with a common 12 V reference circuit and separate signal circuits. During seat motor operation, the hall effect position sensor provides a determined number of pulse signals for every revolution of the motor shaft. These pulse signals (Counts) range from 0 - 65,535. High scan tool count values indicate forward or upward seat positions while low count values indicate rearward or downward seat positions.
