PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The DSM is on the controller area network (CAN) communication network to support the memory driver seat. If a memory driver seat is not equipped on the vehicle, the vehicle will not be equipped with a DSM. If the vehicle is equipped with a DSM, it will use the CAN communication network to permit inter-module and scan tool communications. The vehicle may have both memory driver seat and memory exterior mirrors, or only memory driver seat, or neither memory driver seat or memory exterior mirrors.

The DSM controls the memory driver seat and the memory exterior mirrors. The memory feature allows the driver to program personalized seat/mirror positions. Once the driver stores a memory position, the setting can be recalled by pressing the corresponding memory switch or by using a programmed remote keyless entry (RKE) integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT).
