Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual: Power Seat Position is not Memorized
DESCRIPTION
The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) receives seat memory switch LH signals from the outer mirror control ECU assembly via CAN communication. If the 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 SET switch, the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) sends a memory request signal to the position control ECU and switch assembly LH. After receiving the request signal, the position control ECU and switch assembly LH memorizes the location data of each motor.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
-
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 of the switches. The seat memory function will 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 of the switches. The seat memory restoring function will not operate unless the switches are released.
-
The front power seat control system (w/ Memory) uses the CAN communication system. First, confirm that there are no malfunctions in the CAN communication system. Refer to How to Proceed with Troubleshooting.
