Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step tests the integrity of the memory 1 switch signal circuit of the memory mirror module. If the fuse in the jumper wire opens when you perform this test, a short to battery voltage may have occurred.

  2. This step tests the integrity of the memory 2 switch signal circuit of the memory mirror module. If the fuse in the jumper wire opens when you perform this test, a short to battery voltage may have occurred.

  3. This step tests the integrity of the memory seat SET switch signal circuit of the memory mirror module. If the fuse in the jumper wire opens when you perform this test, a short to battery voltage may have occurred.

  4. This step tests the integrity of the memory seat EXIT switch signal circuit of the memory mirror module. If the fuse in the jumper wire opens when you perform this test, a short to battery voltage may have occurred.
