DTC B1825, B1850, B1860, B2355, B2365, or B2375

The sensor that set this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is attached to the seat directional motor it monitors. It receives a 5-volt reference and low reference from the memory seat module (MSM). The sensor sends a voltage signal that varies with the movement of the seat through the sensor signal circuit to the MSM. Then based on this voltage signal, the MSM determines the position of the seat.

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs

  1. DTC B1826 Seat Recline Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
  2. DTC B1851 Seat Lumbar Horizontal Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
  3. DTC B1861 Seat Lumbar Vertical Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
  4. DTC B2356 Seat Front Vertical Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
  5. DTC B2366 Seat Rear Vertical Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
  6. DTC B2376 Seat Assembly Horizontal Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
  1. The MSM must be powered and cannot have DTC B1327 - Battery Voltage Low set as a current DTC for this DTC to set.
  2. This test will run only when the motors are active.

If the sensor signal received by the MSM from a motor being driven in a commanded direction changes by more than 10 counts or 0.2 volt in the wrong direction, the MSM will set this DTC.

  1. Current and History codes are set.
  2. The MSM disables the affected motor during memory recall operations.
  3. The affected motor will respond to manual positioning commands.

The MSM will clear the DTC as an active DTC, whenever a manual switch is activated and the MSM senses that the voltage from the sensor signal changes by more than 2 counts or 0.04 volt in the correct direction.

All position sensors use common 5-volt reference and low reference circuits.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2: This step checks the direction in which the volts change as the switch is activated. The voltage should increase for the forward or up position and decrease for the rearward or down position.

DTC B1830, B1835, B1840 or B1845

The memory function switches are normally open and are wired to the driver door switch assembly (DDSA). When a memory recall switch is pressed, the switch pulls the 5-volt signal circuit from the DDSA low. The DDSA senses that a memory recall signal was pulled low and a class 2 message is sent out identifying that the circuit is active.

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs

  1. DTC B2757 Memory 1 Select Switch Circuit Low
  2. DTC B2762 Memory 2 Select Switch Circuit Low
  3. DTC B2767 Memory Set Switch Circuit Low
  4. DTC B2772 Memory Exit or Off Switch Circuit Low

The DDSA must be powered and can not have DTC 1328 - Battery Voltage High or B1327- Battery Voltage Low as active DTCs for this DTC to set.

If a memory switch signal circuit is active for more that 30 continuous seconds, the circuit will be considered shorted, and the DDSA will set this DTC.

The DDSA ignores the invalid switch signal from the memory function switch and will not respond to it. The DDSA will respond to all other valid switch signals.

The DTC automatically clears when the switch circuit setting the DTC is no longer active.

Power Seats System Description and Operation (Front Seat)

The driver and passenger power seat systems each consist of the following components

  1. Seat Adjuster Switch
  2. Seat Horizontal Motor
  3. Seat Front Vertical Motor
  4. Seat Rear Vertical Motor
  5. Seat Recline Motor
  6. SEATS Circuit Breaker 30 A

Seat Adjuster Switch

The seat adjuster switches provide both power and ground to the selected seat motors. Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the driver and passenger seat adjuster switches from the SEATS Circuit Breaker located in the left rear fuse block. Both seat adjuster switches are grounded through the switch ground circuit and G307.

Motors

All of the seat motors operate independently of each other. Each motor contains an electronic circuit breaker (PTC) that opens in the event of a circuit overload and will reset only after voltage has been removed from the circuit. There are four seat position motors. These are the horizontal motor, front vertical motor, rear vertical motor, and the seat back recline motor. The horizontal motor moves the entire seat forward and rearward. The seat vertical motors may operate independently to tilt the front or rear of the seat cushion up or down. Both motors can also run simultaneously to move the entire seat up or down. The recline motor moves the angle of the seat back forward or rearward.

Horizontal

When the seat switch is operated to move the entire seat forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the horizontal motor forward control circuit to the motor. The motor is grounded through the horizontal motor rearward switch contacts and the horizontal motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Rear Vertical

When the seat switch is operated to tilt the rear of the seat cushion up, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the rear vertical motor up control circuit to the rear vertical motor. The motor is grounded through the down switch contacts and the rear vertical motor down control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the rear of the seat cushion up until the switch is released. Tilting the rear of the seat cushion down works similarly to tilting the rear of the seat cushion up, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Front Vertical

When the seat switch is operated to tilt the front of the seat cushion up, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the front vertical motor up control circuit to the motor. The motor is grounded through the down switch contacts and the front vertical motor down control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the front of the seat cushion up until the switch is released. Tilting the front of the seat cushion down works similarly to tilting the front of the seat cushion up, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Entire Seat Up or Down

When the seat switch is operated in order to move the entire seat to the up position, battery positive voltage is simultaneously applied through the front and rear vertical motor up switch contacts and the front and rear vertical motor up control circuits to both vertical motors. The motors are grounded through the down switch contacts and the front and rear vertical motor down control circuits to both vertical motors. Both motors run simultaneously in order to drive the entire seat up until the switch is released. Moving the entire seat down works similarly to moving the entire seat up, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motors to run in the opposite direction.

Recline

When the seat recline switch is operated to move the seat back forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the recline motor forward control circuit to the motor. The motor is grounded through the rearward switch contacts and the recline motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to move the seat back forward until the switch is released. Moving the seat back rearward works similarly to moving the seat back forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Power Seats System Description and Operation (Folding Seat)

The power folding seat system consists of the following components

  1. Folding Seat Front Stow Switch
  2. Folding Seat Rear Stow Switch
  3. Folding Seat Recline Switch
  4. Rear Seat Module (RSM)
  5. Rear Seat Horizontal Motor
  6. Rear Seat Back Rotation Motor
  7. Rear Seat Recline Motor
  8. Rear Seat Horizontal Position Sensor
  9. Rear Seat Back Rotation Position Sensor
  10. Rear Seat Recline Position Sensor
  11. Rear Seat Back Panel Position Switch
  12. Rear Seat Load Floor Position Switch
  13. FFSM Fuse 30 A
  14. FFS SW Fuse 10 A

The Class 2 serial data subsystem is also part of the power folding seat system.

Conditions for Seat Operation and Class 2 Communications

The RSM must receive Class 2 messages indicating that the following conditions have been met prior to seat operation or a chime will sound and the RSM will inhibit operation

  1. The gear selector must be in the PARK position.
  2. The ignition can be in any power mode except CRANKING.
  3. Either the lift gate or the right rear door must be OPEN.
  4. The RSM must be enabled by pressing the UNLOCK button on either the remote keyless entry transmitter or the driver/passenger door lock switch three times within 5 seconds, or by placing the ignition in the ON or ACCESSORY position.

Enabling the RSM using the remote keyless entry transmitter or the driver/passenger door lock switch unlock sequence allows for the system to operate for two minutes before timing out. The RSM will restart the timing procedure each time the recline or stow switch is pressed. After the two minute time period expires, the RSM will discontinue operation until another keyless entry or door unlock sequence takes place. Enabling the RSM by placing the ignition in either the ON or ACCESSORY positions allows for continuous operation of the folding seat system without the time out feature.

The following conditions must also be met before the RSM will allow seat operation

  1. The folding seat back panel must be in the folded position.
  2. The RSM must be calibrated.
  3. Both headrests must be removed.
  4. The battery must have a sufficient charge.

If seat operation is attempted while the RSM is in the disabled mode an audible chime message will be activated signaling that one of the above conditions has not been met.

To verify that the RSM is calibrated, install a scan tool and observe the Calibrated parameter in the Rear Seat Module data list, the parameter should display Yes. If the RSM is not calibrated refer to Power Folding Seat Calibration .

Rear Seat Switches

There are three push button switches that are used to operate the power folding seat; front stow switch, rear stow switch, and recline switch. The front stow switch is located in the right rear quarter trim panel just behind the second row seat. The rear stow and recline switches are located in the right rear trim panel just inside the liftgate. Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to all three switches from the FFS SW Fuse located in the left rear fuse block. The folding seat will operate only in a supervised mode, i.e. press and hold the selected switch button through the entire cycle of operation, or release the switch when the desired seat position is reached. When any folding seat switch is pressed, it sends a 12 volt signal through the switch signal circuit to the RSM. The RSM then commands the appropriate seat motors to move in response to the switch signal.

Rear Seat Module and Power and Ground

The rear seat module controls the position of the third row seat. When commanded it moves the seat from the seated position to the stowed position, or, from the stowed position to the seated position. With the seat in the seated position, the RSM can also move the angle of the seat back forward or rearward.

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the module through the battery positive voltage circuit and the FFSM fuse located in the left rear fuse block. This voltage is used to power up the RSM and also to apply power to the seat motors when commanded. The RSM is grounded through the module ground circuit and G401.

The power folding rear seat has three reversible DC motors. These are the seat horizontal motor, the 180 degree rotation motor, and the recline motor. The horizontal motor moves the entire seat forward or rearward, the rotation motor rotates the seat back 180 degrees, and the recline motor moves the seat back forward or rearward. Each motor contains an electronic circuit breaker (PTC) that opens in the event of a circuit overload and will reset only after voltage has been removed from the circuit.

In order to decrease the stress on each motor, the RSM provides each seat motor with a soft stop that will actually stop the motor before the physical end of travel. Each motor uses a hall effect sensor to determine the position of the seat and the end of travel limits. Module self-calibration is used to determine hard stop limits during the initial power up and every tenth activation thereafter. The soft stop limits are a calibrated count from the determined hard stops.

Position Sensors

The seat position sensors are 2 wire hall effect sensors which are an internal part of each motor. The RSM supplies a separate 12 volt reference through the signal circuits to each position sensor, and a common ground through the sensor low reference circuit to each seat position sensor. During seat operation, while the seat motor is active, the position sensor provides the RSM with a single feedback pulse through the signal circuit for every rotation of the motor shaft. The RSM counts the feedback pulses from each sensor to determine the seat position, and the end of travel limits for each of the seat motors.

Seat Operation

With the seat in the seated position, and when a stow switch is pressed, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the switch signal circuit to the RSM. In response to this signal, the RSM simultaneously applies battery positive voltage through the seat back rotation motor forward control circuit and the seat horizontal motor forward control circuit to the seat motors. The motors are grounded through the respective motor rearward control circuits. The rotation motor runs to rotate the seat back 180 degrees forward and the seat horizontal motor runs to drive the seat cushion forward until it reaches it's hard stop. After seat back rotation and seat horizontal movements are complete, the RSM then applies battery positive voltage through the recline motor rearward control circuit to the recline motor. The motor is grounded through the recline motor forward control circuit. The motor runs to recline the seat back rearward to the stow position. Moving the seat to the seated position works similarly to moving the seat to the stowed position, except battery positive voltage is applied to the opposite control circuits causing the motors to run in the opposite direction.

There are two limit switches that are involved with seat operation; load floor position switch and seat back panel position switch. Battery positive voltage is applied at all times to the switches through their respective supply voltage circuits from the RSM. The following describes how the RSM uses these limit switches during seat operation

  1. The load floor switch is located in the back panel of the folding rear seat. When the back panel is placed in the folded position the load floor switch is closed. Battery positive voltage is then applied through the switch contacts and the load floor switch signal circuit to the RSM, and seat operation is allowed. In this position the Load Floor Switch scan tool parameter will display Inactive. After the power folding rear seat is moved from the seated to the stowed position, the seat back panel is then manually unfolded and deployed over the seat cushion. With the back panel unfolded and deployed over the seat cushion, the load floor switch is now open, the Load Floor Switch scan tool parameter will display Active, and the RSM will not allow seat operation.
  2. The back panel position switch is located in the lower left corner of the folding rear seat back panel. When the seat back is in either the seated position or in the stowed position the switch is closed, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the seat back position switch signal circuit to the RSM indicating that the switch is active. The RSM uses this switch input for the following purposes: To determine the soft stop limits of the recline motor when the seat is in the stowed position. To determine the soft stop limits for the seat back rotation motor when the back is in the seated position. To determine the starting point of the seat back with the seat in the seated position. Once the seat back starts to rotate, the seat back position switch contacts open to signal the RSM the initial starting point of the seat back. The RSM then begins to count the sensor pulses in order to set the seat back rotation travel distance.

Seat Operation Sequencing

The following describes the sequence of seat movement from the seated position to the stowed position

  1. Start of 180 degree forward rotation of seat back.
  2. The seat back reclines forward to the upright position.
  3. Seat cushion moves forward to it's soft stop limit.
  4. Seat back reclines rearward to the stowed position.
  5. Manually unfold and deploy the seat back panel over the seat cushion.

The following describes the sequence of seat movement from the stowed position to the seated position

  1. Manually retract and fold the seat back panel to the folded position.
  2. The seat back reclines forward to the upright position.
  3. The seat back rotates 180 degrees rearward.
  4. The seat back reclines rearward to it's seated position.
  5. The seat cushion moves rearward to it's seated position.

Lumbar Support Components

The driver and passenger seat lumbar support systems each consist of the following components

  1. Lumbar Switch
  2. Lumbar Horizontal Motor
  3. SEATS Circuit Breaker 30 A

Power Lumbar Switch

The power lumbar switches provide both power and ground to the lumbar motor. Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the driver and passenger seat lumbar switch from the SEATS Circuit Breaker located in the left rear fuse block. Both lumbar switches are grounded through the switch ground circuit and G 307.

Lumbar Motor

The lumbar support system consists of one motor that moves the lumbar support horizontally forward or rearward. The motor contains an electronic circuit breaker (PTC) that opens in the event of a circuit overload and will reset only after voltage has been removed from the circuit.

Lumbar Operation

When the lumbar switch is operated to move the lumbar support forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the lumbar motor forward control circuit to the motor. The motor is grounded through the lumbar rearward switch contacts and the lumbar motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the lumbar support forward toward the occupant's back until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support rearward works similarly to moving the lumbar support forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

The driver seat lumbar support system with memory (A45) consists of the following components

  1. Lumbar Switch
  2. Memory Seat Module (MSM)
  3. Lumbar Horizontal Motor
  4. Lumbar Horizontal Position Sensor
  5. SEATS Fuse 10 A

Lumbar Switch

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the driver seat lumbar switch from the SEATS Fuse located in the left rear fuse block. When the lumbar switches are pressed they send a 12 volt signal to the MSM. The MSM then commands the lumbar motor to move in response to the switch signals.

The lumbar support system consists of one motor that moves the lumbar support horizontally forward or rearward. The motor contains a electronic circuit breaker (PTC) that opens in the event of a circuit overload and will reset only after voltage has been removed from the circuit. The memory seat module provides the motor with a soft stop that will actually stop the motor just before its physical end-of-travel. This decreases the stress on the motor. If the motor reaches it's end-of-travel due a soft stop and the switch is released and pressed again, the lumbar support will move short distance farther to it's physical travel limit.

When the lumbar switch is operated to move the lumbar support forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the driver seat lumbar forward switch signal circuit to the MSM. In response to this signal, the MSM applies battery positive voltage through the lumbar motor forward control circuit and ground through the lumbar motor rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the lumbar support forward toward the occupant's back until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support rearward works similarly to moving the lumbar support forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. The MSM also controls the lumbar horizontal motor during memory recall functions.

The lumbar position sensor is a potentiometer which is attached directly to the lumbar motor. The MSM supplies a 5 volt reference voltage through the 5 volt reference circuit and ground through the low reference circuit to the lumbar position sensor. When the lumbar motor rotates, the resistance of the potentiometer varies changing the feedback voltage of the position sensor signal circuit. This voltage varies from 0.25-4.75 volts. The MSM monitors this voltage signal to determine the lumbar position.

When a memory set command is received, the MSM records the lumbar position by storing the feedback voltage from the position sensor. Then, when a memory recall command is received, the MSM moves the motor until the position sensor feedback voltage equals the feedback voltage stored in memory. The lumbar support is not involved in the easy exit function.

Memory Functions

Heated Seats Description and Operation

The driver and front passenger heated seats each consist of the following components.

  1. Heated Seat Switch
  2. Heated Seat Module
  3. Seat Cushion Heater Element
  4. Seat Back Heater Element
  5. Temperature Sensor
  6. Climate Control Panel (CCP)
  7. Rear Integration Module (RIM)
  8. LF FRT HTD SEAT MOD 10 A
  9. RF FRT HTD SEAT MOD 10 A

Power and Ground

Battery positive voltage is supplied to both front heated seat modules from the rear fuse block IGN 3 Fuse. This voltage is used to power up the heated seat modules allowing the heated seats to operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON position. Battery positive voltage is also supplied at all times to the left front heated seat module from the LF FRT HTD SEAT MOD fuse located in the left rear fuse block and to the right front heated seat module from the RF FRT HTD SEAT MOD fuse located in the right rear fuse block. This voltage is used by the modules to supply power to the seat heating elements. Both modules are grounded through the module ground circuits and G307.

Heated Seat Operation

The driver and passenger heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches. Both switches are located in the CCP. When a heated seat switch is pressed, the CCP sends a class 2 message via the serial data line to the rear RIM indicating the heated seat command. In response to this signal, the RIM momentarily sends a 35 millisecond one shot pulse signal that is pulled low through the heated seat high/low signal circuit to the heated seat module. The heated seat module then applies or removes battery positive voltage through the element supply voltage circuit of the seat heating elements. The RIM then sends a class 2 message back to the CCP to either illuminate or turn off the appropriate temperature indicator.

Temperature Regulation

When the ignition is turned to the ON position, the heated seats will initialize in the OFF state. With each activation of the heated seat switch, the heated seat module will cycle the temperature setting in the following manner: HIGH, LOW, and OFF.

The heated seat system is designed in order to warm the seat cushion and seat back to approximately 42°C (107.6°F) when in the high heat position, and 37°C (98.6°F) when in the low heat position. The heated seat module monitors the seat temperature through the temperature sensor signal circuit and the temperature sensor (thermistor) that is located in the seat cushion. The temperature sensor is a variable resistor, it's resistance changes as the temperature of the seat changes. When the temperature sensor resistance indicates to the heated seat module that the seat has reached the desired temperature, the module opens the ground path of the seat heating elements through the heated seat element control circuit. The module will then cycle the element control circuit open and closed in order to maintain the desired temperature.

Load Management

The ON/OFF status of the heated seats is reported to the RIM through the status output signal circuit of each heated seat module. During Heated Seats Load Shed Level 1, and the RIM recognizes that the heated seat status signal is active, it will cycle the heated seat operation 16.0 seconds ON and 4.0 seconds OFF. During Heated Seats Load Shed Level 2, the RIM will signal the heated seat module to cancel the heated seat operation and send a class 2 message to the CCP to turn off the appropriate heated seat temperature indicators.

Memory Seats Description and Operation

The memory seat system consists of the following components

  1. Seat Adjuster Switch
  2. Memory Seat Module (MSM)
  3. Seat Horizontal Motor
  4. Seat Front Vertical Motor
  5. Seat Rear Vertical Motor
  6. Seat Recline Motor
  7. Seat Horizontal Position Sensor
  8. Seat Front Vertical Position Sensor
  9. Seat Rear Vertical Position Sensor
  10. Seat Recline Position Sensor
  11. Memory Function Switch
  12. Driver Door Switch Assembly (DDSA)
  13. Driver Door Module (DDM)
  14. SEATS Circuit Breaker 30 A
  15. SEATS Fuse 10 A

Personalization - Driver Information Center (DIC)

Personalization in the Setup menu of the driver information center (DIC) must be in the active state for memory seats to operate. A check mark appearing after the word Personalization on the display screen indicates that the feature is active. For more detailed information concerning programming of Personalization and other memory recall features controlled through the DIC, refer to Driver Personalization in Personalization

Personalization Option - Dash Integration Module (DIM)

The memory seat module cannot perform memory recall functions unless the Personalization Option is activated. The personalization option is located in the DIM. The DIM reports the personalization option setting to the MSM, as well as other receiving modules via a class 2 message each time the ignition switch is cycled to the ON position. The MSM will then store the personalization option setting and examine it before making a memory seat adjustment. The personalization option setting stored within the MSM will not change until the personalization option setting in the DIM is changed and the ignition switch is cycled to the ON position.

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch from the SEATS Fuse located in the left rear fuse block. When the seat switches are pressed they send a 12 volt signal to the MSM. The MSM commands the selected seat motors to move in response to the switch signal.

MSM Power and Ground

Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the memory seat module through the battery positive voltage circuit from the SEATS Circuit Breaker located in the left rear fuse block. This voltage is used to power up MSM and also to apply power to the seat motors when commanded. Battery positive voltage is also supplied to the MSM from the SEATS Fuse that also supplies voltage to the seat adjuster switch. The MSM monitors this voltage circuit in order to determine if battery voltage is supplied to the seat adjuster switch. The MSM is grounded through the module ground circuit and G307.

Seat Motors

The MSM controls the movement of each of the above mentioned seat directional motors. All of the seat motors operate independently of each other. Each motor contains a electronic circuit breaker (PTC), that opens in the event of a circuit overload and will reset only after voltage has been removed from the circuit.

There are 4 motors that move the position of the seat. These are the seat horizontal motor, front vertical motor, rear vertical motor, and the recline motor. The horizontal motor moves the entire seat forward and rearward. The seat vertical motors may operate independently to tilt the front or rear of the seat cushion up or down. Both vertical motors can also run simultaneously to move the entire seat up or down. The recline motor moves the angle of the seat back forward or rearward.

All motors are reversible. For example, when the seat switch is operated to moved the entire seat forward, battery positive voltage is applied through the horizontal forward switch contacts and the power seat horizontal forward switch signal circuit to the MSM. In response to this signal, the MSM applies battery positive voltage through the driver seat horizontal motor forward control circuit to the horizontal motor. The MSM supplies ground to the motor through the driver seat horizontal motor rearward control circuit. The motor runs to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All other seat motors are also powered this way.

The MSM provides each seat motor with a soft stop. The module will actually stop the motor just before the physical end-of-travel for that motor. This decreases the stress on each motor. If a motor reaches the end-of-travel due a soft stop and the seat switch is released and then activated again, the seat will move a short distance farther to it's physical travel limit.

The seat position sensors are potentiometers which are either attached directly to the motor's transmission cable or are an internal part of the motor. The MSM supplies a 5 volt reference voltage through the 5 volt reference circuit and ground through the low reference circuit to the respective seat position sensors. When the motor or cable rotates, the resistance of the potentiometer varies changing the feedback voltage of the position sensor signal circuit. This voltage varies from 0.25 volts to 4.75 volts. The MSM monitors this voltage signal to determine the position of the seat.

When a memory set command is received, the MSM records the seat position by storing the feedback voltage from each position sensor. Then, when a memory recall command is received, the MSM moves the motors until the position sensor feedback voltages equals the feedback voltages stored in memory.

When a memory function switch is pressed, the associated signal circuit of the DDSA is momentarily grounded. In response to this signal, the DDSA then sends a message via the simple bus interface to the DDM indicating that a memory function signal has been received. The DDM then sends the message to the MSM via class 2 serial data line.

The current seat position may be recorded for 2 different drivers. To record a position, adjust the drivers seat to a comfortable position, then press and hold button 1 for 5 seconds, a double beep will sound each time a memory position is set. A second seat position may be programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing button 2. When the MSM receives a memory set message, the MSM records the feedback voltages from all four seat position sensors for the appropriate driver. The easy exit position is programmed by moving the seat to the desired exit position and then holding the exit button for 5 seconds. Two easy exit positions can be programmed, one for each driver. When the MSM receives a set exit message, the MSM records the feedback voltages from all four seat position sensors for the appropriate driver.

When the memory recall 1 or 2 button is pressed, a single chime is sounded through the radio in order to acknowledge the signal and the MSM receives the memory recall message. In response to this message, the MSM applies battery positive voltage to run the seat motors until the position sensor feedback voltages equal the feedback voltages stored in memory for the appropriate driver. When the EXIT button is pressed, a single chime is sounded in order to acknowledge the signal and the MSM receives the easy exit message. In response to this message, the MSM applies battery positive voltage to run the seat motors until the position sensor feedback voltages equal the feedback voltages stored in memory for the appropriate driver.

Memory recall will not work if the shift lever is out of NEUTRAL (N) or PARK (P).

Recall Personalization

When a keyless entry transmitter is used in order to unlock the vehicle doors, the transmitter sends a signal to the diversity antenna module. The module interprets the signal, then communicates the unlock command and which driver performed the command via a class 2 message over the serial data line to the appropriate modules and the MSM. The MSM will then recall any previously programed personalization easy exit or memory seat positions. For more information concerning the programing of the personalization feature refer to Driver Personalization in Personalization.

Memory Inhibit/Enable

The memory seat module receives the ignition switch signal and the gear selector position via class 2 messages. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, memory record, memory recall, personalization recall, and exit recall functions are all allowed. When the ignition switch is in the ON position and the gear selector is in the PARK position, only the recall personalization function is deactivated and all other memory functions are allowed. When the ignition switch is in the ON position and the gear selector is out of the PARK position, only memory record is allowed, all other memory seat functions are not allowed.
