Abstract
A vehicle seat memory control apparatus includes motor driven adjustment mechanisms for various seat component adjustments for movement of various seat adjustments to a predefined easy entry seat position and movement of the seat from the easy entry position back to the last user selected displacement position of the seat component adjustments. Each motor drive provides multiple speeds of output shaft rotation, a higher speed selected by a controller for movement to the easy entry position and a lower speed for user selected seat adjustments and for movement from the easy entry seat position back to the last user selected seat displacement position. End of travel limits are provided for each seat component adjustment. The controller continually compares the current displacement position of each seat component adjustment with the respective end of travel limits to deactivate a drive motor when any end of travel limit is reached by a seat component adjustment.
