B1535
Memory 2 switch circuit
Causes
- Faulty Memory 2 switch (worn contacts or internal failure)
- Open or chafed wiring in the switch harness (often at seat hinges)
- Corroded or poorly seated connector at switch or control module
- Short to ground or short to battery in the switch circuit
- Blown fuse or defective relay feeding the switch/module
- Faulty seat control module / body control module (BCM)
Symptoms
- Memory position 2 does not recall or cannot be stored
- Memory 2 button has no illumination or feedback when pressed
- Memory 1 and other functions may still work (isolated to Memory 2)
- Intermittent or unpredictable memory operation
- Related stored body module fault(s) and possible warning message in vehicle diagnostics
What to check
- Read DTCs and freeze-frame/fault occurrence data with a diagnostic scanner
- Compare operation of Memory 1 vs Memory 2 (isolate to one switch)
- Visually inspect switch, wiring and connector for damage, corrosion or looseness (pay attention to seat hinge areas)
- Check relevant fuses and relays for the seat/memory circuit
- Perform wiggle test on wiring while observing scanner or function
- Backprobe switch connector and measure reference voltage and signal while operating the switch
Signal parameters
- Reference voltage: typically 5 V (logic) or 12 V supply depending on vehicle design — present at switch connector with ignition ON
- Switch output when pressed: voltage should change state (to ground ~0 V or to supply voltage) — module expects a clear change of state
- Open circuit (switch released): high impedance / no continuity
- Closed circuit (switch pressed): continuity (low ohms, typically
- If pulse protocol used, expect digital signal transitions visible on a scope or scan tool
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a capable scan tool and record B1535 and any related codes and freeze-frame data.
- Attempt Memory 2 operation while observing live data/inputs to confirm the module is seeing (or not seeing) the switch change.
- Visually inspect the Memory 2 switch, wiring harness, and connectors (check seat hinge and mounting points for chafed wires).
- Verify fuses/relays that feed the seat/memory circuit; replace if blown/defective.
- Backprobe the switch connector: verify reference voltage present and that the signal changes state when the button is pressed. Note whether the switch grounds or supplies voltage when activated.
- Remove switch and measure continuity across its terminals while actuating; replace the switch if contacts do not change state reliably.
- If wiring or connector faults are found, repair/replace solderless terminals or wiring as required, then retest.
- Clear codes, perform function test and recheck for reoccurrence. If fault persists with correct switch and wiring, consider seat control module/BCM diagnosis or software reflash by dealer.
- When performing repairs involving airbags/seats, follow vehicle manufacturer safety procedures (battery disconnect where required).
Likely causes
- Defective memory switch or internal contact failure
- Damaged/broken wiring or connector corrosion in harness near seat
- Intermittent short to ground or battery on the switch signal
- Faulty connector/fuse feeding the circuit
- Fault in the seat control module or BCM (less common)
