Seat Track Position Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. 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. Based on programmed limits, the seat track position sensor will inform the restraints control module (RCM) of the driver seat position. The RCM uses this information in determining the deployment rate of the dual-stage driver air bag module and deployment of the collapsible column.
