  A: The first step to replace the front seat power recliner motor requires you to disable SIR through proper disabling procedures. First disconnect the seat assembly before you remove the trim cover exposed on the seat back. Start by removing the retainer clip from the motor attachment of the recliner shaft then extract the recliner shaft completely from the recliner motor and the recliner sensor in case the seats have memory capability. Underneath the seat users should disconnect both the recliner motor electrical connector and reinstall the recliner sensor electrical connector if equipment allows. You should detach the recliner motor fastener then withdraw the motor from the seat back frame. Reposition the recliner motor on the seat back frame after which you should tighten the fastener up to 9 N.m (80 lb in) strength. To complete installation install the recliner sensor onto the motor through snapping hands and tighten the recliner motor connector. Place the recliner shaft through both the recliner sensor and motor before connecting the electrical connector of the recliner sensor when required. The retaining clip should be installed on the recliner shaft followed by the replacement of the seat back trim cover and returning the seat to its original position while enabling the SIR system.
