DTC B1828: Power Seat Recline Motor Pulse Error ('06 model)

NOTE:
  • Make sure you have the latest software on the HDS before troubleshooting.
  • If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).
  • DTC B1828 can be set and stored when the recline switch is operated for more than 1 second after the seat reaches the fully forward or backward positions, even if the system is OK.
  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
  2. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
  3. Operate the power seat adjustment switch in all directions.
    NOTE: Do not hold the switch for more than 1 second after the seat reaches a position limit or a DTC will beset.
  4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC B1828 indicated? 

    YES  - Go to step 5.

    NO  - Intermittent failure. The recline motor/position sensor is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections and terminal fit at the power seat control unit connector. Check the battery condition, battery cable connections, and ground G601.

  5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC B1836 also indicated? 

    YES  - Go to DTC B1836 TROUBLESHOOTING  .

    NO  - Go to step 6.

  6. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Are DTCs B1825, B1826, and/or B1827 also indicated? 

    YES  - Go to step  16.

    NO  - Go to step 7.

  7. Operate the recline switch and check the recline motor operation.
    NOTE: Do not hold the switch for more than 1 second after the seat reaches a position limit or a DTC will be set.

    Does the recline motor run smoothly? 

    YES  - Go to step 8.

    NO  - Go to step  17.

  8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  9. Disconnect power seat control unit connector A (40P).
  10. Disconnect the recline motor/position sensor 5P connector.
  11. Check for continuity between power seat control unit connector A (40P) No. 10 and No. 29 terminals and recline motor/position sensor 5P connector No. 4 and No. 5 terminals.
