  1. Disconnect the driver seat module connector C2.
  2. Using a DMM test the resistance through the memory switch from the voltage supply circuit terminal to the memory 1 switch signal circuit terminal in the harness connector. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
  3. Press the memory 1 switch.
Is the resistance less than the specified value only while the switch is pressed?
0.5 Ω Go to Step 4  Go to Step 6
