Driving Position Memory Systems (Dpms): Other Honda Odyssey III

Memorizing a Seat Position

Move the seat to the desired position. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

Press and hold the MEMO button on the driver's position memory switch. A single beep will be 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 will be two more beeps confirming that the seat positions have been memorized. The LED will remain lit, unless the seat is moved from the memorized position.

Memorized Position Recall with the Remotes

Make sure that the remotes are LINKED. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK button at the same time. The red LED on the remote will flash ONE time when the remote has been LINKED and will flash TWO times when the remote has been UNLINKED. After the seat position has been memorized, the seat will move to the position when the remote UNLOCK is pressed and the driver's door is opened. When the seat gets to the memorized position, the LED corresponding with that remote will stay lit until the position is changed or the key is turned OFF.

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.

Using the HDS (preferred method)

1. Go to B-CAN System Diagnostic Test Mode A to check for "Connected Units" and DTCs.
2. If no DTCs are retrieved, go to B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode C (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE C»(ref-220996-S02585287362006022200000) ) or Test Mode D (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE D»(ref-220996-S17308098182006022200000) ).

Without the HDS (use only if HDS is not available)

The self-diagnostic function of the driving position memory system detects system problems. If a system problem is detected, the buzzer built into the power seat control unit sounds for 5 seconds. This information can be retrieved through the driving position memory switch indicators.

Scheme 13

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and move the seat to a non-memorized position.
2. Press and hold the MEMO button (A) and both position buttons (B) at the same time.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and wait at least 1 second, then release the three buttons.
4. After 1 second, the position button indicators (C) will blink to show the DTC.

No System Problem

If there is no DTC stored, the indicators blink only once (3 seconds).

Scheme 14

System Problem

If a system problem occurs and a DTC is stored, the indicators will show the DTC. The first digit is indicated by the number of long (1 second) blinks, and the second digit is indicated by the number of short (0.26 second) blinks. There is a 3 second break between each DTC when there are multiple DTCs.

Scheme 15

Erasing the Driving Position from Memory

1. Press and hold all three driving position memory switch buttons.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
3. Continue to hold all three driving position memory switches for more than 5 seconds, and release them in less than 10 seconds.
4. The buzzer will sound for 500 ms to confirm that all driving position data is erased.
