Lexus NX: Power Seat Position is not Memorized
DESCRIPTION
The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) receives seat memory switch signals from the outer mirror control ECU assembly (for Driver Side) via CAN communication. If the seat memory SET switch is being pressed when one of the M1, M2 or M3 switches is pressed, or if one of the M1, M2 or M3 switches is pressed within 3 seconds of pressing the seat memory SET switch, the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) sends a memory request signal to the front power seat switch LH. After receiving the request signal, the front power seat switch LH memorizes the location data of each motor.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
-
The front power seat control system (w/ Memory) uses the CAN communication system. First, confirm that there is no malfunction in the CAN communication system. Refer to the How to Proceed with Troubleshooting procedure.

-
The seat position will not be stored if the SET switch and 2 or more of the seat memory switches (for example, M1 switch and M2 switch) are pressed simultaneously.
If a memorizing operation has failed, release all switches. The seat memory function does not operate unless the switches are released.
-
The seat will not return to the memorized position if 2 or more of the seat memory switches (for example, M1 switch and M2 switch) are pressed simultaneously.
If a restoring operation has failed, release all switches. The seat memory restoring function does not operate unless the switches are released.
-
Before replacing the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), refer to the Smart Access System with Push-button Start (for Entry Function).
