D1: CHECK FRONT SEAT HEIGHT, TILT OR EXTENSION MOTOR

WARNING: Before work is carried out, make the air bag supplemental restraint system safe. For additional information, refer to Standard Workshop Practices section of service information.

WARNING: When carrying out the following steps, stand clear of all moving parts and ensure link harness is routed accordingly.

Set ignition status to ' OFF'.
Disconnect front seat height, tilt or extension motor connector.
NOTE: It may be that the seat has been driven to the limit of travel along the relevant axis, and when the link harness is connected, the seat will remain in the same position. If this is the case, a jolt may be felt from the motor. To confirm the motor operation, swap the link harness to alternate motor pin connections and the seat should travel in the opposite direction.
Using a locally made fused link harness and power supply, connect power and ground to relevant motor.
