Wireless Transmitter Memory Function does not Operate: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Use the Techstream to check if the CAN communication system is functioning normally. Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING .

      OK

      CAN communication DTC is not output.

    NG → See step   20 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL FUNCTION 
    1. Using the standard operation procedure, check that the power door lock/unlock function operates normally. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .

      OK

      Power door lock/unlock function operates normally.

    NG → See step   16 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START (ENTRY UNLOCK FUNCTION) 
    1. Check the entry unlock function of the smart access system with push-button start. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .

      OK

      Entry unlock function is normal.

    NG → See step   21 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK SEAT MEMORY FUNCTION 
    1. Perform a seat memory operation properly. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .
    2. Check that the buzzer sounds for 0.5 seconds 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 seat memory switches (for example, M1 switch and M2 switch) 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 position memory function operates normally.

    NG → See step   22 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK SEAT RESTORING FUNCTION (SEAT POSITION RESTORING FUNCTION) 
    1. Perform a seat restoring operation properly. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .
    2. Check that the buzzer sounds for 0.1 seconds and the seat automatically moves to the memorized position.
      NOTE:
      • The seat position will not return to the memorized position if the 2 or more of the seat memory switches (for example, M1 switch and M2 switch) are pressed simultaneously.
      • If a restoring operation has failed, release all switches. The seat memory restoring function does not operate unless the switches are released.

      OK

      Seat position restoring function operates normally.

    NG → See step   15 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK MEMORY CALL FUNCTION
