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' for your details on 'memory seat' setting, I had visited a few garages who had no clue on how to fix the memory seats which wasn't working after battery was replaced on my LS460L 2007 model with a very low mileage of just 67K Kilometers. Followed steps you mentioned, seats work just well.
I was given different explanations which included replacement of some unit under driver seat. Cheers

Our 2016 LS460L is has lost driver seat memory twice since being worked on by an unprofessional body shop.
After the first time a Toyota dealer fixed it. Then weeks later it happened again. The battery has not died.
My concern is that something else might be affected. We're still dealing with supplemental repairs on a botched hail damage job.
Thoughts?
