Fault In Memory Position






Memory position fault

Checking function of the memory button




- Ignition OFF.
Select scrolling values and read off the value for memory button 3 and MEM.
Press in the programming button MEM and keep it pressed while pressing memory storage button 3.





MEM and memory button 3 status should change from NOT ACTIVE to ACTIVE when the respective button is pressed in.

OK - Checking memory function 3

Not OK - Connecting the break-out box

-------------------------------------------------

Checking memory function 3
Operate the seat so it moves to a new position using the control buttons.
Activate stored memory position 3 to see if the seat moves to that position.

Does the seat move to memory position 3?

Yes - Fault-tracing information

No - Replace component

-------------------------------------------------

Fault-tracing information
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) was probably set because no position has been programmed into memory position 3.

Press "Continue".

Continue - FAULT FOUND

-------------------------------------------------

Replace component
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) was probably set due to an internal fault in the control module.
Try a new control module according to Control module, replace Control Module.
