Seat module question

I have the comfort seats with ventilation/heat/massage, and my driver seat massager function stopped working. When I push the massage button it lights up, after a few seconds you can JUST feel one of the massage bags filling, then it stops and the light goes off. Everything else on the seat works.

I have since swapped the seat modules with the passenger seat and the issue followed the module.

Is there a way to reset the seat module for this? I have ISTA D/P and Esys, although I have not used Esys before.

If only one of the bags is “filling” I would look at the bags (aka “drive units”) which are #3 in the diagram below, the drive (#5) and the hoses (#6).

You wrote that you swapped the seat drives…are you referring to any of the aforementioned components…or were you referring to the module on the side of the seats that has the button that activates the massage feature?

Thanks for replying. I'm going to remove the seats soon to inspect everything and do some better troubleshooting. I paid to have the module swapped and after looking at the image you posted I'm not sure which component was swapped.
