Memory Set/Recall Operation

The seat adjuster motor are equipped with internal position sensors. The adjuster motor position sensors are monitored by the memory seat module and are used to determine the seat position when storing or recalling memory settings. The horizontal, front vertical, and rear vertical adjuster motors use hall effect type position sensors. The hall effect position sensors are supplied with 5-volt reference and ground circuits from the memory seat module.

The position sensor signal circuits are supplied 5 volts through a resistor the monitored within the memory seat module. During adjuster motor operation the hall effect position sensor provides a single pulse for every revolution of the adjuster motor shaft. The memory seat module counts the pulses from the position sensor signal circuits to determine the adjuster motor positions when storing or recalling memory seat position settings.

The recline adjuster motor is equipped with a potentiometer type position sensor. The recline motor position sensor is supplied with it's own 5-volt reference and ground circuits from the memory seat module. The recline position sensor signal circuit is supplied 5 volts through a resistor then monitored within the memory seat module. The signal voltage monitored by the memory seat module ranges from 0.39-4.58 volts and is determined by the wiper location on the resistor within the recline motor position sensor. The recline motor position sensor signal circuit voltage level is used by the memory seat module to determine the seat recline position when storing or recalling memory seat position settings.

The memory recall switch assembly on the driver's door provides inputs to the memory seat module. Battery voltage is supplied to the memory recall switch assembly from the MIR/LOCK 3A fuse. When a SET, RCL 1, or RCL 2 switch is pressed, the switch contacts close the appropriate switch signal circuit to the battery voltage supply circuit within the memory recall switch assembly. Battery voltage on a switch signal indicates to the memory seat module the switch status is active.

Memory seat recall operation is allowed only with the transmission selector lever in the PARK position while the ignition is on. The memory seat module determines the ignition is on using the ignition voltage supply circuit from the IGN3 10A fuse. The memory seat module relies on in input from the shift lock control switch supply circuit in order to determine transmission selector lever is in the PARK position.
