  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  2. Ground the memory seat diagnostic connector.
    3. • The connector may be taped up into the body harness.
    • Ensure that the module beeps once in order to acknowledge entrance into Mode 1 diagnostics.
    • Refer to Memory Seat Operation in Seats for a detailed explanation of the memory seat/mirror module diagnostic modes.
  3. Operate the power mirror switch in all directions.
  4. Ensure that the module beeps once for each switch input that it receives because anytime a switch is operated and the module does not beep, the module did not receive an input from that switch.
