Principles of Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The DSM is on the universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART)-based protocol (UBP) communication network. To support several vehicle subsystems, the module permits intermodule and diagnostic tool communications.

The memory driver seat feature allows the driver to program a personalized seat position that can be recalled using the memory switches or the RKE transmitter. For additional information, refer to SEATING .
