Memory Seat Does Not Operate Properly

  1. Partially remove memory seat module. See MEMORY SEAT MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Using a test light, check for voltage at module connector pin No. 2 (Light Green/Yellow wire). See Fig 1 . If test light glows, go to next step. If test light does not glow, repair open in Light Green/Yellow wire and retest system.
  2. Turn ignition switch to START position. Using a test light, check for voltage at module connector pin No. 3 (White/Pink wire). See Fig 1 . If test light glows, go to next step. If test light does not glow, repair open in White/Pink wire and retest system.
  3. Connect one lead of ohmmeter to known good ground. Connect other lead to module connector pin No. 6 (Black wire). See Fig 1 . Measure resistance. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to next step. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair Black wire and retest system.
  4. Using voltmeter, probe module connector pin No. 12 (White/Orange wire). See Fig 1 . Press memory seat switch. Measure voltage. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair White/Orange wire and retest system.
  5. Using voltmeter, connect one lead to known good ground. Connect other lead to pin No. 8 (Brown/Light Green wire) of module connector. See Fig 1 . At driver's door switch panel, press SET button of memory switch, then within 5 seconds press No. 1 button and read voltage. If voltage is 10 volts or more, problem is in memory seat sensor. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step.
  6. Turn ignition switch off. Disconnect connector at memory module. Remove left seat memory switch. Using ohmmeter, check resistance of pins No. 9 (Black/Orange wire) and No. 8 (Brown/Light Green wire) from switch connector to module connector. See Fig 1 . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace memory switch and retest system. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair suspect circuit(s) and retest system.
