Condition
Some customers may comment that with repeated cycling of the memory seat between the "exit" and one of the "presets", the position of the seat may "creep" forward or rearward out of expected adjustment.
Cause
There is a coding deficiency in the software for the memory seat module.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the driver seat module with an updated software calibration. The previous bulletin stated to use a service calibration that was released with TIS satellite data update version 4.5. Feedback has proved that calibration to be ineffective in eliminating the memory seat creep condition. An updated service calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 6.5 available June 13, 2005. This new calibration has additional memory seat creep protection. As always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.
Important:
After programming is complete, move the seat all the way rearward and down, then bump the seat slightly forward and up. This position will be just off the end of travel hard stops. Reset both memory seat exit positions at this position. Having the seat set at just off the hard stops will aid in reducing the creep condition.
