Warning
Make sure 12V power has been disconnected for at least 2 minutes before disconnecting the electrical harness from Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) components, such as modules, sensors, airbags, etc. Failure to do so can result in unintended safety system behaviors. For more information on SRS precautions, see Air Bag and Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Precautions.

Removal

  1. Remove the 1st row LH seat assembly (refer to procedure).
    Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
    CAUTION
    If discarding the entire seat, Service Centers must remove the seat-mounted airbag and pre-tensioner (if present) before discarding the seat. Follow local Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) best practices to dispose of the airbag and pre-tensioner (for example, place the airbag and pre-tensioner into the appropriate hazardous waste receptacles located in the Service Center). Refer to Remove the Front Seat Airbag and Discard for instructions, and use Correction Code 20010707 to document the labor; the labor time for destructively removing and disposing of the front seat airbag (and pre-tensioner, if equipped) is not reflected in the front seat removal and replacement labor time.

Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
CAUTION
Replace all patchbolt(s).
  1. Restore the seating profile.
  2. Replacement front seat assemblies and seat cushion frame assemblies procured after June 2024 are equipped with a newly-designed Tesla "mini-tilt" motor, and replacing these parts (or the tilt motor itself) might require a configuration change. Review the configuration information in the table and perform the following substeps if a configuration update is needed.
    1. Access the Vehicle Configuration section of the Infotainment Dashboard. See Gateway Configuration (Display and Change).
    2. Update cfg_frontSeattype according to the combination of tilt motors described in the table.
  3. Reinstall the vehicle firmware. See Firmware Reinstall - Touchscreen.
  4. Test the ventilation/heating functionality on the new seat.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    All new seats with seat ventilation are equipped with Kongsberg fans.
    • If the ventilation/heating does not function properly, the configuration parameter must be updated for Kongsberg. Continue to the next step.
      Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
      Note
      Improper functionality may include a "1" setting causing high ventilation and a "3" setting causing low ventilation (opposite results).
    • If the ventilation/heating is functioning properly, the configuration parameter is already set for Kongsberg. Skip to step 8.
  5. Connect a laptop to the diagnostic port of the vehicle, and then use Toolbox 3 to locally connect to the vehicle. See Toolbox 3 (Connect and Disconnect).
  6. Unlock the vehicle gateway for diagnostic communication. See Gateway Unlock.
  7. Update the "seat_vent" configuration parameter value as required. See Gateway Configuration (Display and Change).
    Configuration parameter values:
    • 0: NONE (seats not ventilated, not applicable for this procedure)
    • 1: FUTURIS (both front seats Futuris)
    • 2: L_FUTURIS_R_KONGSBERG (LH seat Futuris, RH seat Kongsberg)
    • 3: L_KONGSBERG_R_FUTURIS (LH seat Kongsberg, RH seat Futuris)
    • 4: KONGSBERG (both front seats Kongsberg)
  8. Using Toolbox 3:
    1. Select the Actions tab and search for "Calibrate Memory Seat".
    2. Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
      Note
      The below ODIN routine should be used for calibration of the driver seat. For calibrating the pasenger seat, use PROC_MSMP_VCSEATP-FRONT-PAS_CALIBRATE-MEMORY-SEATvia Toolbox: (link)via Service Mode: Low Voltage ➜ Seats ➜ Calibrate Passenger Seat instead.
      Select the ODIN routine PROC_MSMD_VCSEATD-FRONT-DRV_CALIBRATE-MEMORY-SEATvia Toolbox: (link)via Service Mode: Low Voltage ➜ Seats ➜ Calibrate Driver Seat, and then click the link of the routine.
    3. Click RUN, and allow the routine to complete.
