Memory Seat System Components
The memory seat system consists of the following components:
• | The seat adjuster switch |
• | The horizontal adjuster motor |
• | The front vertical adjuster motor |
• | The rear vertical adjuster motor |
• | The PWR ST/DRV 20A circuit breaker |
Memory Seat System Controls
The memory seat system is controlled by the following components:
• | The seat adjuster switch |
• | The body control module |
• | The LH door control module |
Memory Seat System Operation
The seat adjuster motors are controlled by the memory seat module through
the adjuster motor supply circuits. In an inactive state the adjuster motor
supply circuits are grounded through switch contacts within the memory seat
module. Adjuster motor operation occurs when the memory seat module switches
one of the adjuster motor supply circuits to battery positive voltage. The
direction of the adjuster motor rotation is determined by which of the adjuster
motor supply circuits is switched to battery positive voltage and which remains
grounded.
The seat adjuster switch signal circuits are supplied with 12 volts
through resistors within the memory seat module. When a seat adjuster switch
is pressed the signal circuit is grounded. Closing the signal circuit to
ground pulls the voltage low indicating to the memory seat module the switch
status is active. The memory seat module also relies on messages received
through the serial data circuit from other control modules to perform some
memory seat functions.
The seat adjuster motors are equipped with position sensors. The position
sensors are supplied with a 5 volt reference circuit and low reference circuit
from the memory seat module. Whenever a memory seat module function is active
the memory seat module receives a signal from each position sensor which
varies from 0 to 5 volts depending on the seat position. The memory seat
module uses the position sensor signal voltages to determine the seat position
when storing or recalling seat position settings.
