SEAT TRACK - WITH SEAT INTEGRATED RESTRAINTS

Removal

All seats

1. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301) and wait at least one minute.

2. Deactivate the supplemental restraint system (SRS). Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT

SYSTEM (SRS) DEACTIVATION AND REACTIVATION .

WARNING:

Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental
restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an airbag module. This
will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.

WARNING:

After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium
hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to
the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.

WARNING:

The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety
glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a
safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner.
Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in
pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.

NOTE:

There are no user replaceable parts on the power seat track. Install a new unit.

WARNING:

To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the
backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing
any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking
components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors,
instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood
latches.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery
ground cable and wait at least one minute. Be sure to disconnect
auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, read and follow all
warnings, cautions, notes, and instructions in the supplemental
restraint system (SRS) deactivation/reactivation procedure.
