B0325 code meaning
Driver Seat Memory Set Switch
What B0325 means
Searches turned up B0325 in no J2012 list and in no factory documentation. The title names the SET or M button used to store the current seat position under one of the memory buttons. Saab's 9-3 driver seat module knows it as the memorize button: B2765 01 when its line is shorted to battery voltage, B2765 61 when it is held or stuck for more than 60 s; the module then treats it as released until it is pressed afresh. US4682088A and US4463426A describe the classic sequence – press SET, then memory 1 or 2 within a short window – and US4264849A uses the same buttons both to recall and, with a store key, to save. A faulty set switch blocks saving but not manual adjustment.

- Note B0325 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
