2000 Chevrolet Cavalier Base, 4D Sedan, 2.4 TSECTION Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The memory system includes driver's seat, outside mirrors, telescoping steering column (if equipped), climate control and stereo functions. When a memory function recall is requested, Seat Control Module (SCM) and Door Control Modules (DCM) will apply voltage to appropriate seat position and mirror position motors until position sensor voltage matches the stored values. The seat control module controls movement of 3 driver's seat position motors and steering column position. Left and right door control modules control 2 left mirror motors and 2 right mirror motors. All motors have a position sensor, and work independently of each other. Lumbar control is not part of memory functions.
