This may be rather old info based on the date of these documents...

I was having memory seat issues intermittently ('14 Auto Z51 VIN 3362)
such as a single push of memory 1 would telescope but not move seat or movement of seat was stuttered. When I went to dealer the advisor printed this out. Some issues were not problems- these sensors and limiters were active.

Since there have been a handful of threads lately about the memory buttons, maybe this could help...

I had all types of trouble with memory seat, but telescoping steering always worked. As for the seat, different dealers changed out several moduels, none solved the problem, finally after showing one several different attempts at solving the problem, they changed out the motor unit. Problem solved, the motor unit had some dead spots in the contact disk.

I solved my seat memory problems on an automatic transmission. The seat would move back when the door opened but not move forward when the car started, even though it was set to do so. I always had to press the 1 button - no big deal but this discussion solved my problems. I had set the exit position for the seat too far back and the seat was hitting the limit switch. I moved the seat a bit forward and saved the new exit position. Now it moves forward when I press the ignition! It still is a bit strange since it moves forward to some older setting which is a bit different than that currently set for the 1 button.

Try this. Remove the seat fuse, but even better, disconnect the battery, let sit a short while. Then reconnect the battery, reindex the windows and resetup the seat and see what happens.

I'm not liking mine either. The C6 was spot on with the #1 and #2 Fobs. It seems it doesn't know which fob is starting it sometimes. Sometimes it moves into my spot others it crushes me to get to the wife's and sometimes it just doesn't move until I hit the #2 memory (Yea I got #2 spot..LOL)

Yeah mine on rare occasions will not operate when I push or hold the button. It will just move the steering wheel for a split second that's it. 2 minutes late I push the button it works just fine. The querks are just mounting up on this car now. I think I understand the reason now behind why not to buy 1st M.Y

When my memory seat button does not respond I find by moving the seat slightly forward using the button on the side of the seat then pushing the memory button on the door it works fine. Just the way it is I guess.

That make perfect sense if you read the pdf. You made the seat back sensor inactive and therefore unsupervised movement is enabled.

I too have an early production '14 manual Z51 and after taking it back to the dealer for "all updates" did not fix the problem, so
went to the GM TIS site and put in my VIN (VIN 3496) and printed it out for them...
when programmed correctly, hopefully, next week, options should be on "Auto Memory Recall" threefold: "Off"; "On-Driver Door Open"; "On At Ignition On"

Thanks I get it now. Seems the system cannot walk and chew gum at the same time

This fixed it for me, thanks.

Quick fix:

I got so frustrated with this I just unplugged the sensor strip behind the drivers seat. That fixed the problem. **But if you do this you have to be careful not to over-extend the seat movement to the rear, or you'll end up with seat motor damage.**

I'm 5' 5"....yes, I am short. I guarantee you my seat isn't too far back to prevent the auto function to fail. It occurred intermittently when I first got the car back in February, 2014, but it's been working fine up until now (no, I don't know what I did to fix it 11 months ago) but today it started again. I tried reprogramming it to no avail. I'll play with it tomorrow, using some of the suggestions found on the forum, and let you know what I come up with. Other than that, this car has been amazing.

I did the same thing. I set the exit position a tiny bit forward and saved it and the easy exit now works. Not sure why it was set so far back since I haven't changed it in almost a year, but moving it forward seems to have solved the problem. No need for a trip to the dealer.

wasn't there a video posted a couple weeks ago with a cute redhead (I think a member's daughter so I will be a gentleman when describing her) that shows the steps on how to solve this problem?

Here is the video. I went thru it step by step and it works fine now. Thanks Ginger!

Very helpful video but I didn't have to go through all those steps to correct it on mine. All I did was move the seat up about an inch and then press set/easy exit to reset it. I did not have to turn off easy exit and auto reprogram feature on the center screen to enable the new settings.
