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.
Circuit Description
The seat memory switch sends signals to the front power seat switch (memory seat ECU and SW) to memorize a given seat position. This memory system does not use a position sensor. The seat position is detected by counting pulses that are output when the motor turns. If there is no pulse output from the motor, the motor will stop operating. The seat memory switch is later used to send signals to the front power seat switch to return to one of the memorized positions.
The power seat memory operation is performed only when the ignition switch is in the ON position and the shift position switch is in the P position.
