Power Seat Control Module: Description and Operation

2007 Ford Five Hundred AWD V6-3.0L VIN 1SECTION Description and Operation
DRIVER SEAT MODULE-MEMORY SEAT

NOTE: The memory seat track position sensors are integral to the memory seat track motors. The memory seat track motor electrical connectors will connect to a seat track without the memory option. Make sure the correct seat track is being installed.

The power driver seat, power outside rear view mirrors and power adjustable pedals are controlled by the driver seat module (DSM) only when the vehicle is equipped with the programmable/recall memory option. The DSM is located underneath the driver seat cushion.

NOTE: During reflash, if the flash operation fails, disconnect the battery for 30 seconds, then reconnect the battery and continue.

This system allows automatic positioning of the driver seat to 2 programmable positions.
- A power driver seat position can be stored at any time. The driver must move the seat to the desired position using the driver seat switch assembly. The driver must then depress the memory SET switch which activates the memory SET switch light emitting diode (LED). Within 5 seconds (before the LED goes out), the driver must select a memory position. Memory 1 is selected by depressing memory switch 1. Memory 2 is selected by depressing memory switch 2.
- If no memory switch input is received within the 5-second time limit, the operation is aborted and the memory SET switch LED is turned off. This also occurs if one of the following inputs is received during the 5-second programming limit:
- Power driver seat switch
- Memory SET switch
- Power adjustable pedal switch

A position can only be recalled when the transmission selector is in PARK or NEUTRAL. A position may be programmed at any time.
