Passenger seat back won't return to erect position. 2009 XK

 

Its a known issue with the seat control module. It needs reflashing.
What I’d like to understand is: what is the catalyst for this? Its happened three times on the life of my car. I have no evidence but coincidentally, I needed to change the battery just a month later…

 

Had that issue and bought a Foxwell Scanner to reset the seat.

 

what model of the Foxwell Scanner did you buy?

 

Foxwell NT530

 

Would any of you know if this scanner can disable a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

 

While I don't have one of those, it's pretty much a big NO as the liability would be through the roof for disabling a safety feature. They would lose billions in lawsuits.

 

I would agree with this statement but look it up online to see its capabilities, I just wanted to be able to reset my seats.

 

I went to my Jag dealership to reflash the seats. Wouldn't go fully upright and did my head in. Works perfect now.

 

I also have the Foxwell NT530; it does have a number of TPMS functions, but I did not see the ability to disable it.

 

I also have an nt530, it does not have the disable ability.

From previous threads, the AUTOOL AP200 is able to engage the seat backs in the computer, to work again. It is a result of low voltage, battery problem, that a trickle charger can help with..

 

+1 on the AP200, but note it needs the JLR software download.
