1. Position the new and old seat track motor assembly side by side. Position the new seat track motor assembly stub shaft flat spots (splines) in the same position as the old seat track motor assembly flat spots. If necessary, apply power and ground to the new seat track motor electrical connector as shown during removal to obtain the same position.
2. Install the seat track motor assembly to the upper support assembly. NOTE: Make sure the motor is positioned right side up. Install the seat track motor assembly pivots through the front and rear height adjustment gear brackets. Apply multi-purpose grease to the motor pivots. Mesh the seat track motor assembly gears to the front and rear height adjustment gears. There should not be a gap between the upper support assembly gears and the seat track motor assembly housing. WARNING: The support straps are load-bearing components during a crash event. The support straps must be correctly installed during assembly of the seat track. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the failure of the seat to perform as designed with resultant risk of personal injury to the vehicle occupant. Install the support straps. The support straps must fit flush against the front and rear height adjustment gears. Check to make sure the index marks on the outboard track C-channel and plastic coated slide are still in alignment. WARNING: The pinion cage is a load-bearing component during a crash event. The pinion cage must be correctly installed during assembly of the seat track. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the failure of the seat to perform as designed with resultant risk of personal injury to the vehicle occupant. Position the pinion cage onto the outboard track. Install the outboard track. Position the track studs through the seat track motor assembly. While sliding the track studs through the seat track motor assembly, position the pinion cage opening around the seat track motor assembly gear. Fit the support straps and seat track motor assembly gear bushing alignment pins into the track openings. When assembled, make sure the outboard track, support straps, front and rear height adjustment gears and seat track motor assembly all fit flush against each other. Make sure the support straps and seat track motor assembly gear bushing alignment pins fit into the track openings. CAUTION: Do not overtighten or damage will occur. Install the 2 bolts holding the seat track motor assembly to the outboard track. Tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Install the 2 nuts. Tighten to 14 Nm (10 lb-ft). Install the outboard retainer clip. Check to make sure the index marks on the outboard track C-channel and plastic coated slide are still in alignment. The index marks on the outboard track C-channel and plastic coated slide must align at this step. If the index marks do not match up, repeat Steps 1 through 10 . Check to make sure the index marks on the inboard track C-channel and plastic coated slide are still in alignment. NOTE: When assembled, a small gap between one of the gears and the drive tube may exist. Assemble the seat track motor assembly, upper support assembly and inboard track together. Align the drive tube to the motor stub shaft. Tap the nose of the inboard track gear toward the seat track motor stub shaft. Positioning a block of metal or wood behind the motor gear can aid assembly. While tapping the parts together, simultaneously engage the front and rear lift links to the inboard track. When the lift links are up against the inboard track, with the bushings through the hole and seated, the drive tube is fully engaged. Position the seat position sensor and bracket onto the inboard track, then install the nuts holding the inboard track to the upper support assembly lift links. Tighten to 27 Nm (20 lb-ft). Check to make sure the index marks on the inboard track C-channel and plastic coated slide are still in alignment. The index marks on the inboard track C-channel and plastic coated slide must align at this step. If the index marks do not match up, repeat Steps 12 through 14 . CAUTION: The splines on the stud are very shallow. Do not use excessive force while turning the nut. CAUTION: If the stud turns free from the seat track while installing the nut, a new seat track must be installed. Install the seat position sensor bracket nut. Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). Attach the seat motor wiring harness to the seat track. Position the seat position sensor interrupt bracket, then install the 2 bolts. Position the electrical connector bracket and install the 2 bolts. Position the seat track in the vehicle. The left and right front mounting feet holes should align with the floor pan mounting holes, without pushing or pulling the seat track to force alignment. Check the witness marks (indentations) in the carpet. The tracks should line up closely with them. If the seat track does not align to the vehicle, check to make sure the index marks on the inboard and outboard track rails and guides are still in alignment. Repeat the necessary steps until the index marks align. Install the seat track. For additional information, refer to «SEAT TRACK»(ref-232285-S12149710472006051600000) .
