System Description
The driver's seat, the power mirrors, and the tile/telescopic steering have a memory feature. All the adjustments can be memorized by pressing the SET button on the driving position memory switch, and then pressing one of two position buttons within 5 seconds. Pressing the appropriate position button will move the seat, the mirrors, and the steering to the memorized positions.
Along with the seat, mirror, and steering settings, the power door lock settings can also be memorized based on which remote (Driver 1 or Driver 2) is used.
This system is integrated with the multiplex integrated control system, and has 9 wake-up and sleep modes. All digital signals are sent via shared B-CAN and UART communication lines. For more information about communication line and wake-up/sleep mode, refer to the Multiplex Integrated Control System Description (see SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ).
Disconnecting the battery erases the memorized positions.
Memorizing a Seat, Mirror, and Steering Position
Move the seat, the mirrors, and the steering to the desired position. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
Press and hold the SET button on the driver's position memory switch. A single beep is heard and both of the green LEDs will begin to flash. Press No. 1 or No. 2 to match the remote that is to be used. There are two more beeps confirming that the seat, the mirror, and the steering positions are memorized. The green LEDs remains lit, unless the seat and the mirrors are moved from the memorized position.
Memorized Position Recall with the Remotes
After the seat, the mirror, and the steering positions are memorized, the seat, the mirror, and the steering move to the position when the appropriate remote UNLOCK button is pressed and the driver's door is opened. When the seat, the mirror, and the steering move to the memorized position, the green LED corresponding with that remote stays lit until the position is changed or the key is turned to LOCK (0), or engine start/stop button is pressed to select the OFF mode.

Power Seat Position Sensors
Each motor has a sensor that detects motor rotation and sends a pulse to the power seat control unit when the motor rotates. The control unit stores the number of pulses in its memory, and the seat position is memorized.
Power Mirror Position Sensors
Using a tilt position sensor and a swing position sensor, the power mirror control circuit in the power mirror control unit detects the voltage changes created by the mirrors moving. These voltage changes are stored in memory, and the power mirror positions are memorized for each stored driving position.
Power Tilt/Telescopic Steering Position Sensors
By means of a tilt position sensor and telescopic position sensor, the power tilt/telescopic steering control circuit in the power tilt/telescopic steering control unit detects the voltage changes caused by the movements of the steering. These voltage changes are stored in memory, and the power tilt/telescopic steering positions are memorized for each stored driving position.
Reverse Mirror Control
When the vehicle is shifted to R (shift lever in R) with the power mirror selector switch in the Left (or the Right) position, the driver's (or the passenger's) side mirror tilts down automatically to help the driver's view. The mirror returns to the previous position when the shift lever is shifted out of R. The reverse mirror control is cancelled if the power mirror selector switch is in the center position.

If all function tests operate normally, the system is OK. If the function does not occur, do the appropriate test at the control unit and terminal indicated in the table. Voltage drop tests should be done with the ignition switch in ON (II) or the vehicle ignition in the ON mode, and all connectors connected. Continuity tests should be done with the ignition switch in LOCK (0) or the vehicle ignition in the OFF mode, and indicated terminals disconnected. Jumper tests should be done according to the instructions indicated. If the test indicates that the component operates normally, but the function will not operate by doing the function test or normal use of the component, the control unit that operates that function must be faulty; replace it. If the test indicates that the component does not operate normally, check for an open or short in the harnesses between the component and the control unit. If the harness is OK, replace the component.

- Remove the driver's door panel (see «FRONT DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/exterior-body-panels/#doors__front-door-panel-removalinstallation) ).
- Disconnect the 7P connector (A) from the driver's position memory switch (B).
- Remove the two screws, then remove the switch from the door panel.
- Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table. NOTE: Make sure the correct test lead (+ or -) is placed on the terminal. When checking for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting (-->|-) on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias. Note this important operating characteristic; diode bias causes a diode to fully conduct electricity in one direction (forward), while not at all in the opposite direction (reverse).
- If the continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
