DTC B1826: Power Seat Front Up-down Motor Pulse Error

NOTE:
  • 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 B1826 is stored when the front up-down switch is operated more than 1 second after the seat moves to the most up or most down position, even when the system is OK.
  1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
  3. Operate the power seat adjustment switch in each direction for more than 1 second each.
  4. Check for the DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC B1826 indicated? 

    YES  - Go to step 5.

    NO  - Intermittent failure, the front up-down position sensor is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections at the power seat control unit connector.

  5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC B1836 also indicated? 

    YES  - Troubleshoot DTC B1836 first (see DTC B1836: POWER SEAT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT SHORT  ).

    NO  - Go to step 6.

  6. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Are DTCs B1825, B1827 and/or B1828 also indicated? 

    YES  - Go to step  18.

    NO  - Go to step 7.

  7. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
  8. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
  9. Operate the front up-down switch for 2 seconds, and check the front up-down motor operation.

    Does the front up-down motor run smoothly? 

    YES  - Go to step 10.

    NO  - Go to step  25.

  10. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  11. Disconnect power seat control unit connector A (40P).
  12. Disconnect the front up-down motor/position sensor 5P connector.
  13. Check for continuity between power seat control unit connector A (40P) terminals No. 12 and No. 29 and front up-down motor/position sensor 5P connector terminals No. 5 and No. 4 respectively.
