    Unhappy Memory seat buttons no longer working

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hello,

    I've been doing some troubleshooting with this and I'm stumped. Cleaned out my car yesterday and when I went to put my seat back into position, I noticed that both memory seat function buttons were not working and the "SET" button was not illuminating. Seat controls still work, just not the memory function buttons on the door. All 4 buttons will also illuminate red when the headlights are on and the 30A door fuse is also good.

    The seat option in the MMI Car settings is greyed out and it says that the seat functions is only activated if the "OFF" button is on. The "OFF" button is in the "ON" position but the yellow indicator will illuminate if I toggle it, unlike "SET". I searched this online and I saw a few posts mention that the seat limits needs to be reset so I've tried doing it multiple different ways (forward/back, back/forward, up/down, up/down/up, down/up/down, forward/back and hold button, etc.) and so far no luck.

    I checked VCDS and there aren't any codes, I've even gone into Module 36 for the Driver Seat Memory and when I check the sensors, VCDS is registering that I am pushing the buttons (i.e. value would be 0000000 and it would register as 00000001 if I pressed setting 1 or 00000010 if I pushed setting 2). I tried the Reset options in the Adaptations menu but I don't think that did anything.

    Am I missing something here? Is there anything else I can try? Is there a correct sequence for resetting the seat limits?

    The car is a 2014 Audi S4.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Maybe try disconnecting the battery for a little while and reconnecting it and trying the seat reset one more time. I had to do that when I removed my seat and installed it back in and that worked for me. Think I just maxed out each direction the seat goes in in no particular order. Try that out

    Did you do both the reset and the learn adaptations for the driver seat memory along with the motor movement adaptation? I ask because I just had to do this for a friend of mine this past weekend and after running the two adaptations and the motor adaptation the seat started working perfectly. From my recollection, I did the seat assignment reset first and then ran all the adaptations which was quick and easy.

    I was hoping to avoid pulling the battery leads but I suppose it's worth a try.

    What module would those adaptations be under in VCDS? The only 2 adaptations available for the driver seat memory were two reset functions.

    Also, did you follow a reset procedure for the seat? I've tried every combination of forward/back, up/down, etc. and so far I've had no luck.

    The first two are under the driver memory number 36 I think I reset to 0 first and then told them to readapt and the last one was under MVB 4 I think (it took a long time to find) but ultimately had me adjust the seat to the upper limits of all adjustments and hold the adjustment knob in that place for 3-4 seconds. I’ll edit this post with a screen shot from another forum that worked for us.

    Same thing I’ve been dealing with for months, could be the control module at this point for me,

    I’ve tried to do the reset multiple times to no avail
