Power-Fold Seat Module (PFSM)

Removal and Installation

NOTE: On the first press of the seat control switch after the seat is repaired and a new system component has been installed, the PFSM moves the seat to the home position (seat folded and latched to the floor) before continuing to move to the selected seat position. This allows the PFSM to relearn the position of the affected motors.
