wheel and door mirrors move to their memory positions correctly.
Are the operations normal?
YES >> Check each malfunction according to the instruction of the SYMPTOM 4, refer to ADP-159,
"Symptom Table".
No (memory indicator operates normally)>> Go to SYMPTOM 2, refer to ADP-159, "Symptom Table"
.
No (memory indicator does not operate normally either)>> GO TO 5
4. CHECK MEMORY FUNCTION 2
Register the seat positions (refer to Owner’s Manual) and check that all parts of the seat, pedals, steering
wheel and door mirrors move to their memory positions correctly.
Are the operations normal?
YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI-38, "Intermittent Incident".
NO >> GO TO 7
5. CHECK SEAT MEMORY SW ITCH/MEMORY INDICATOR
Check the seat memory switch/memory switch indicator of the SYMPTOM 5, refer to ADP-159, "Symptom
Table".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 6
NO >> Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
6. CHECK OPERATION CONDITION
Check the memory operation conditions (refer to ADP-12, "AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER SYSTEM :
System Description").
Are all operation conditions fulfilled?
YES >> Go to SYMPTOM 6, refer to ADP-159, "Symptom Table".
NO >> Fulfill the operation conditions. Refer to ADP-12, "AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER SYSTEM :
System Description".
7. CHECK MECHANISM
Check for the following.
