July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK FRONT POWER SEAT CONTROL FUNCTION 
    1. Check that each function of the power seat operates normally by using the front power seat switches.

      OK: 

      Each function of power seat operates normally by using seat switches. 

      NG:  GO TO PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

      OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK SEAT MEMORY SWITCH FUNCTION 
    1. Perform a memory operation correctly. Check that the buzzer sounds to indicate the completion of the memory operation.
      NOTE:
      • The seat position will not be recorded if the SET switch and 2 or more of the memory switches (for example, M1 and M2) are pressed simultaneously.
      • The seat position will not be recorded if a memory switch (M1, M2 or M3) is not pressed within 3 seconds of pressing the SET switch.
      • If a memorizing operation has failed, release all the switches. The seat memory function does not operate unless the switches are released.

      OK: 

      Seat memory switch function operates normally. 

      NG: Go to step 3 

      OK: SYSTEM IS OK 

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (SEAT MEMORY SWITCH) 
    1. Check the Data List for proper functioning of the seat memory switch.
