Memory System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2004 Dodge Caravan, and 2004 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The memory system consists of power driver's seat, power mirror and radio presets. The Memory Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) is located under the driver's seat. It receives input from the following: driver's manual 8-way seat switch, driver's seat position sensors, PCI bus circuits, and the power mirror sensors. The module uses these inputs to perform the following functions: position the driver's memory seat, both exterior mirrors (during recalls), and send/receive the memory system information over the PCI bus.

The Memory Set Switch is wired to the Body Control Module (BCM). A button (either #1 or #2) pressed on the set switch causes the BCM to send a message to the MSMM which in turn will send a motion status message back to the BCM. If the message from the MSMM indicates no current motion, the BCM will send a recal message to the module. The MSMM will set the seat, exterior mirror and radio to the presets for the indicated driver.

If any one of the memory controlled systems is inoperative from its manual switch, use the schematics and diagnostic information to correct the concern. This service information addresses the memory problems only and it is assumed there is not a basic component failure.
