DTC B1828: Power Seat Recline 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 B1828 is stored when the recline switch is operated more than 1 second after the seat back reclines to the most forward or most backward 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 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 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, B1826, and/or B1827 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 recline switch for 2 seconds, and check the recline motor operation.

    Does the recline 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 recline motor/position sensor 5P connector.
  13. Check for continuity between power seat control unit connector A (40P) terminals No. 10 and No. 29 and recline motor/position sensor 5P connector terminals No. 5 and No. 4 respectively.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  - Repair a short to ground in the wire.

    NO  - Go to step 15.

  15. Reconnect power seat control unit connector A (40P).
  16. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  17. Measure the voltage between recline motor/position sensor 5P connector terminals No. 5 (+) and No. 4 (-).

    Is there about 5 V? 

    YES  - Replace the recline motor/position sensor.

    NO  - If there is no voltage, replace the power seat control unit. If there is battery voltage, repair a short in the wire (sensor line).

  18. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  19. Disconnect power seat control unit connector A (40P).
  20. Disconnect the recline motor/position sensor 5P connector.
  21. Check for continuity between power seat control unit connector A (40P) terminals No. 15 and No. 29 and recline motor/position sensor 5P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 4 respectively.
