My drivers seat quit working. The seat side bolsters still work but the seat itself won't move forward or backward.

It's a 2001. No haven't checked for codes. How do you check for seat codes also is there any way to override the seat motor so the seat can be moved forward. If not i'll have to drive it to get fixed with the seat all the way back. Thanks for the help also.
