WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mercury Sable and 2003 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
.
Diagnostic tests or repairs are not to be performed on seat track position sensors with front seats installed in vehicle, if front seat are equipped with side air bags. Prior to diagnosis or repair of seat track position sensors on seats equipped with side air bags, remove appropriate front seat and ensure appropriate air bag simulator are installed at side air bag floor harness connector. See FRONT SEAT under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
Due to seat track position sensor being a hall-effect type sensor, this test will be diagnosing current out of range fault instead of current DTC definition for a resistance out of range fault.
