Driver Seat memory does not work, beeps
So this morning, I pressed memory seat #1, and it did not move my chair to the position that I set it for. I had to adjust the chair manually. Everytime, I move the chair back or recline the back, in intermittently beeped every 1-2 seconds. It does not beep if I move the chair forward.
Could it be the fuse? or what could be wrong?

You have to move the seat to its max position in every setting and the seat will calibrate. All the way up, all the way down, all the way forward, all the way back, recline seat back all the way down and then all the way up. I'll see if I can the procedure in print.

Here ya go.
1. Standing outside the driver’s door, open the door and using the long manual forward and back seat switch, move the whole seat fully forward until it stops.
2. Now using the same seat control, move the whole seat fully to the back until it stops. You may hear repeated beeps during this motion.
3. Now use the seat back tilt control to lay the seat back fully down toward the rear seat. Again, you may hear repeated beeps. Continue laying it back until it stops.
4. Using the same tilt control, now tilt the seat back fully upright until it stops.
5. At this point, the seat position memory should be reset as it has counted the rotations of each of the associated seat motors and now knows the seat’s actual location.
6. Get in the car, close the door and start the car. Leave the car in Park and remove your foot from the brake..
7. Using the appropriate manual seat controls, move the seat to your most comfortable location and preferred degree of seat back tilt. At this time, you may also set your outside mirrors and telescoping steering wheel position using their controls.
8. Once you are satisfied with all the positions, press and hold the Set Button on the driver’s door and then press the appropriate L1, L2, or L3 Memory Button. Continue holding both the Set Button and the selected L1, L2 or L3 Memory Button until you hear a single beep. The present seat location and position are now programmed into the corresponding Seat Position Memory. The fact that you heard a beep confirms that the Seat Position Memory has been reinitialized and is now capable of capturing your preferred settings.
9. You can test your memory settings by using the manual controls to move the seat anywhere away from your ideal position and then press the appropriate L1, L2 or L3 Memory selection. The seat should return to your programmed setting.
10. You may now set the remaining seat memory positions starting with step 6 above.

Thank you 305Busa
Thank you 305Busa.
Great help for me to set the seat memory!
Just got a LS460 recently but found the manual useless on this issue.
The car is a beauty to ride though.
The manual did not mention anything about resetting the memory.
Toyota should incorporate your written procedure into the manual.
Thanks again.

I could be mistaken, as the instructions *could* be the same, but you may want to head over to the GS 4th Gen area of the forum and ask the good folks in there.
