Pinpoint Test 1: The Power Seat Is Inoperative
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
- The air bag diagnostic tool is for restraint system repair only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a seat-mounted side air bag system is being repaired, the air bag system must be deactivated per the deactivation procedure contained in AIR BAG AND SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS), see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article.
NOTE:
- Restraint system diagnostic tools must be installed under the seats in the side air bag to floor connector.
NOTE:
- Diagnostics or repairs are not to be carried out on a side air bag system with the seat in the vehicle. Prior to attempting to diagnose/repair the side air bag system the seat must be removed from the vehicle and the restraint system diagnostic tool must be installed in side air bag connector at the floor connector. The air bag must be removed prior to operating the vehicle.
NOTE:
- Diagnostics may be carried out on seat systems other than the side air bag system (lumbar, climate controlled, heated, power seat track) with the seat installed in the vehicle as long as the restraint system WDS or equivalent Tester is installed under the seat in the side air bag to floor connector.
NOTE:
- After diagnosing/repairing a seat system the restraint system diagnostic tool must be removed before operating the vehicle.
NOTE:
- Before disconnecting the battery, raise the seat to its highest position, then move and tilt the seat to its most forward position.
