Driving Position Memory System Description




Driving Position Memory System Description

The driver's seat has a memory feature. All the adjustments can be memorized by pressing the SET button on the driving position memory switch, and then pressing one of two position buttons within 5 seconds. Pressing the appropriate position button will move the seat to the memorized positions.

This system is integrated with the multiplex integrated control system, and has 9 wake-up and sleep modes. All digital signals are sent via shared B-CAN and UART communication lines. For more information about communication line and wake-up/sleep mode, refer to the Multiplex Integrated Control System Description Multiplex Integrated Control System Description.

Disconnecting the battery erases the memorized positions.

Memorizing a Seat Position

Move the seat to the desired position. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

Press and hold the SET button on the driver's position memory switch. A single beep is heard and both of the green LEDs begin to flash. Press No. 1 or No. 2 to match the remote that is to be used. There are two more beeps confirming that the seat positions have been memorized. The LED remains lit, unless the seat is moved from the memorized position.

Memorized Position Recall with the Remotes

Make sure that the remotes are LINKED. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK button at the same time. The red LED on the remote will flash ONE time when the remote has been LINKED and flash TWO times when the remote has been UNLINKED. After the seat position has been memorized, the seat will move to the position when the appropriate remote UNLOCK button is pressed and the driver's door is opened. When the seat gets to the memorized position, the green LED corresponding with that remote stays lit until the position is changed or the key is turned to LOCK (0).






Power Seat Position Sensors

Each motor has a sensor that detects motor rotation and sends a pulse to the power seat control unit when the motor rotates. The control unit stores the number of pulses in its memory, and the seat position is memorized.
