• Q: How to replace the Front Seat Recliner Seat Motor on 2001 Cadillac Seville?

  A: Disabled SIR system operation is necessary before starting to replace the Front Seat Recliner Actuator Motor. Begin by taking out both the seat assembly together with the seat back trim cover. Locations include the recliner motor end of the recliner shaft from which the retainer clip needs to be detached before sliding the shaft to a point beyond the motor and recliner sensor on memory seats. Start by disconnecting both the recliner sensor electrical connector and motor electrical connector from under the seat and removing any sensor from the motor if sensor detectors are present. Take out the recliner motor from the seat back frame by firstly removing its fastener. The recliner motor should be mounted on the seat back frame before fastening it with the specified fastener tightened to 9 N.m (80 lb in). Stop and connect the recliner motor electrical connector then proceed with attaching the recliner sensor to the motor while verifying it locks properly. Push the recliner shaft through both the recliner sensor along with motor before attaching the electrical connector to the recliner sensor when memory seats are installed. Fasten the retaining clip to the recliner shaft after which install the seat back trim cover. After reinstallation of the seat perform a SIR system activation. Calibration of memory seat positions should be performed when the vehicle includes this functionality.
