SERVICE UPDATE
Bulletin No.: 12262B
Date: March 20, 2013
Subject: 12262B Service Update for Inventory and Customer Vehicles Seat Memory Control Module Reprogram Expires with Base Warranty
Models:
2013 Cadillac ATS, SRX, XTS
Equipped with Seat Memory Function
Supercede:
The Purpose paragraph has been revised to clarify the condition. Please discard all copies of bulletin 12262A.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealership for any reason. This bulletin
will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to reprogram the seat memory control module on certain 2013 model year Cadillac ATS, SRX, and XTS
vehicles, equipped with the seat memory feature. The reprogramming of the seat memory control module will change how the auto memory recall
feature recalls the stored memory settings from the RKE transmitters.
Depending on the vehicle model and options, the position of the driver seat, outside mirrors, power tilt and telescoping steering column, and
adjustable pedals can be stored in the 2 memory settings located on either the driver's door panel or driver's seat. In addition, the RKE transmitters
are also linked to the same memory positions if the Auto Memory Recall feature is enabled in the vehicle personalization menu. The feature will
recall the saved memory positions based on which RKE transmitter is being used to either open the door or start the vehicle.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory and customer vehicles
that return to the dealer for any type of service during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
All involved vehicles are identified by VIN in the Global Warranty Management System - Investigate Vehicle History Application. Dealership
technicians should always check this site to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is important to
routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be involved regardless of description or option content.
Additionally, a list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin Information" link under the
"Service" tab in GM GlobalConnect (US) or attached to the GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Customer vehicles that
return for service, for any reason, and are still covered under the vehicle's base warranty should also be checked for vehicle eligibility.
