1. Memory seat feature inoperative



Circuit/System Description

Low reference is supplied to the driver seat memory switch from the seat memory control module. When a memory switch is pressed, the signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low through the switch contacts and series of resistors indicating the memory recall request. In response to this signal, the seat memory control module commands the appropriate seat motors to move to the pre-recorded seat positions stored in memory.

Circuit/System Verification


1. Verify that all manual driver power seat functions operate when being controlled by the seat switches.

2. If any seat function does not operate, refer to Power Seat Malfunction (With Memory) Power Seat Malfunction (Without Memory) .

3. The seat memory control module cannot perform Memory Seat Recall, Easy Exit Setup, or Easy Exit Recall functions unless these options are activated in the driver information center (DIC). Refer to the Owners Manual to verify that these memory recall personalization options are ON.


Circuit/System Testing


1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S47D driver seat memory switch.

2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

3. If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K40 seat memory control module.

4. Ignition ON, press a power seat switch in order to wake up the K40 seat memory control module. Test for greater than 9 V between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground.

5. If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K40 seat memory control module.

6. Test for greater than 9 V between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.

7. If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K40 seat memory control module.

8. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S47D driver seat memory switch.


Component Testing


Driver Seat Memory Switch

1. Disconnect the harness connector at the S47D driver seat memory switch.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the low reference terminal 1 and the signal terminals listed below with the switch in the open position.

Terminal 5

Terminal 6

3. If not the specified value, replace the S47D driver seat memory switch.

4. Test the resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 6 while pressing the memory 1 and memory 2 buttons. Compare the resistance readings to the values in the Memory Switch Values table below.

5. If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the S47D driver seat memory switch.

6. Test for less than 1 Ω between terminal 1 and terminal 5 while pressing the memory set switch.

7. If greater than the specified range, replace the S47D driver seat memory switch.


Memory Switch Values

Switch Position Resistance
Memory 1

570 - 698 Ω

Memory 2

1800 - 2209 Ω



Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
