Thread: Seat, column and mirror position memory

Hi guys

The seat position (ect) memory from when the key when last used seems to have stopped in my car. Try and explain.

The way I understand it is supposed to work is this:
The driver’s seat, external mirror, and steering column positions along with the ICE source is saved each time the key is removed.
When the car is unlocked, these 4 items return to where they were last time that key was used. - his & her keys

This is how it has worked until earlier this week – I have had the rare occasion where the external mirrors would not move to position in the past, but the seat and column have always done this. The mirrors are controlled by the Driver’s Door Module, and the others are controlled by the Driver’s Seat Module as I understand – correct me please.

This started Tuesday this week and hasn’t moved for either key since. Open the door and press the 1 or 2 buttons on the seat and everything swings into action going to the correct position.

A scan returns 1 fault from the Drivers Door Module. Something about drivers mirror position. Nil faults of concern anywhere else - except the aux fan on the engine which has been there for several years now because I’m slack.

Before I spend an evening with RAVE, anyone know what the difference between the stored memory from the buttons and what’s stored from last key use?

Has anyone experienced or come across, read about this one??

(ain’t life tough when you have to press a button to get your seat the way you like it because the car didn’t automatically do it for you)

Mine is still working on the range rover so I'm not sure it will be the same, but with my VW touareg, it seems that there is a button that will turn on and off the automatic adjustments for the mirrors and wheel positions. Could there be this option hiding somewhere on the l322?
