Causes
- Broken or chafed wiring between Memory 2 switch and control module
- Poor or corroded connector at the switch or control module
- Failed Memory 2 switch (mechanical or internal electrical fault)
- Short to ground or battery in the switch wiring
- Faulty body/control module input circuit or internal module failure
- Water ingress or contamination at switch or connectors
Symptoms
- Memory position 2 does not store or recall seat/mirror/steering wheel position
- No response when pressing Memory 2 switch
- Intermittent operation of memory function (works sometimes)
- Related warning or message on dash (memory system fault)
- Other memory positions (Memory 1) may still function or may also be affected
What to check
- Read stored freeze frame and fault details with a scan tool; note whether fault is present or intermittent
- Visually inspect switch, connectors, and wiring harness for damage, corrosion, or loose pins
- Operate the Memory 2 switch while observing connector and wiring for movement/poor contact (wiggle test)
- Check related fuses and ground connections for continuity and correct installation
- Compare operation of Memory 2 switch to Memory 1 (if fitted) to narrow fault to the switch or wiring/module
Signal parameters
- Switch closed: near 0 ohms across switch contacts (continuity)
- Switch open: high resistance/open circuit (OL)
- Module input idle voltage: typically a pull-up to module reference (approx. 5–12 V depending on design) — voltage should change when the switch is actuated
- No excessive voltage drop on supply or ground when operating the switch
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a diagnostic scan tool and confirm B1535 is current or historic; record freeze frame and related codes.
- Visually inspect the Memory 2 switch, connector, and harness for damage, corrosion or water ingress. Repair any visible issues.
- With ignition on, backprobe the switch connector and measure voltage on the signal pin while pressing the switch. Note whether voltage toggles (matches expected change).
- Perform continuity/resistance test of the switch: remove connector and measure resistance across switch terminals — closed should be near 0 Ω, open should be high/OL.
- Perform a wiggle test of harness while watching live data or observing signal voltage to reproduce the fault if intermittent.
- If wiring is suspect, perform a continuity test between the switch connector and the control module input; check for short to ground or battery.
- If wiring and switch test good, check the control/body module input for correct reference voltage and ground. Consider substituting a known-good switch if available.
- Clear the code, retest operation and drive cycle to confirm repair. If input circuit at module is out of spec, follow module-level diagnostics or consult wiring diagrams for further module testing or replacement.
Likely causes
- Corroded/loose connector at the switch or module
- Failed/dirty Memory 2 switch contacts
- Wiring damage at hinge/seat movement area causing intermittent open or short
