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, even the system is OK, stored when the recline switch is operated more than one second after the seat back reclines most forward or most backward position.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
- Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
- Operate the power seat adjustment switch in all directions for more than 2 seconds.
- 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 at the power seat control unit connector.
- Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC B1836 also indicated?
- YES - Go to DTC B1836 troubleshooting (see DTC B1836: POWER SEAT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT SHORT ).
- NO - Go to step 6.
- Check for DTCs with the HDS.
