WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The seat track position sensor is a Hall-effect sensor located on the driver seat track. The seat track position sensor informs the restraints control module (RCM) of the driver seat position. Based on programmed limits, the seat track position sensor will inform the RCM of the driver seat position. The RCM uses this information in determining the deployment rate of the dual-stage driver air bag module.
