Power Seat Position is not Memorized: 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 → See step   12 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK SEAT MEMORY SWITCH FUNCTION (SEAT POSITION MEMORY FUNCTION) 
    1. Perform a memory operation properly. 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.
      • If a memorizing operation has failed, release all switches. The seat memory function does not operate unless the switches are released.

      OK

      Seat memory switch function operates normally.

      RESULT:

      Result Proceed to
      NG (Driver side seat memory function does not operate) A
      NG (Passenger side seat memory function does not operate) B
      OK C
