Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Memory Seat Module
The memory seat module (MSM) monitors the heated cooled seat switches through serial data message inputs and determines the heated cooled seat operating modes and temperature levels. The MSM controls the operating mode of the driver and passenger seats through separate pulse width modulation (PWM) signal circuits. The heated/cooled seat mode signal circuits are referenced from battery voltage by the ventilation heating and cooling modules and pulsed low by the MSM. Each heated cooled seat is capable of operating in 3 modes with 3 temperature levels so the MSM uses 9 PWM frequencies for each signal circuit to command the heated cooled seat modes to the seat heating and cooling modules.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
