B2878



DTC B2853, B2858, B2873, or B2878

Circuit Description
The memory seat module (MSM) receives ground inputs from contacts inside the tilt/telescoping switch. The MSM then supplies battery voltage to the tilt motor up or down circuit, or the telescope motor in or out circuit depending on which direction of movement is requested. Both motors are reversible and voltage is applied to either circuit to accomplish movement in opposite directions.
