2) Disconnect the Passenger Seat Adjustment Module (J720) or remove the SC20 fuse (see ELSA for
correct fuse per model).
3) Switch Ignition ON: Using VSD, enter address 06 (passenger side seat module).
4) Select adaptation channel 1 and change the value to a '2'.
5) Switch ignition OFF.
6) Reconnect the Passenger side seat module. Vehicle should now recognize both address 06 and 36.
7) Set the adaptation (basic settings) of the seat or seats using the test plan or by running the seat through
full range of motion including backrest and lumbar.
