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 ).
  1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then back to ON (II).
  3. Operate the power seat adjustment switch in all directions for more than 1 second each.

    DTC B1828 can be stored if the seat recline switch is held on for more than 1 second after the seat reaches the end of its travel, even when the system is OK.

  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. ■

    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  17.

    NO  - Go to step  7.

  7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then back to ON (II).
  8. Operate the recline switch for 2 seconds, and check the recline motor operation.

    Does the recline motor run smoothly? 

    YES  - Go to step  9.

    NO  - Go to step  26.

  9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  10. Disconnect power seat control unit connector B (40P).
  11. Disconnect the recline motor/position sensor 8P connector.
  12. Check for continuity between power seat control unit connector B (40P) terminals No. 10 and No. 29 and recline motor/position sensor 8P connector terminals No. 8 and No. 7 respectively.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  - Go to step  13.

    NO  - Repair an open or high resistance in the wire. ■

  13. Check for continuity between power seat control unit connector B (40P) terminal No. 10 and body ground.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  - Repair a short to ground in the wire. ■

    NO  - Go to step  14.

  14. Reconnect power seat control unit connector B (40P).
  15. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  16. Measure the voltage between recline motor/position sensor 8P connector terminals No. 8 (+) and No. 7 (-).

    Is there about 5 V? 

    YES  - Faulty recline motor/position sensor, replace it (see FRONT SEAT RECLINE MOTOR REPLACEMENT ). ■

    NO  - If there is no voltage, replace the power seat control unit (see Power Seat Control Unit Input Test/Replacement  ). If there is battery voltage, repair short in the wire (sensor line). ■

  17. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  18. Disconnect power seat control unit connector B (40P).
  19. Disconnect the recline motor/position sensor 8P connector.
  20. Check for continuity between power seat control unit connector B (40P) terminals No. 15 and No. 29 and recline motor/position sensor 8P connector terminals No. 5 and No. 7 respectively.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  - Go to step  21.

    NO  - Repair an open or high resistance in the wire. ■

  21. Disconnect the 6P connector from the slide motor/position sensor, the front up-down motor/position sensor, and the rear up-down motor/position sensor.
  22. Check for continuity between body ground and recline motor/position sensor 8P connector terminal No. 5.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  - Repair a short to ground in the wire. ■

    NO  - Go to step  23.

  23. Reconnect power seat control unit connector B (40P).
  24. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  25. Measure the voltage between power seat control unit connector B (40P) terminals No. 15 and No. 29.

    Is there battery voltage when the recline switch is operated? 

    YES  - Replace the recline motor/position sensor (see FRONT SEAT RECLINE MOTOR REPLACEMENT ). ■

    NO  - Replace the power seat control unit (Power Seat Control Unit Input Test/Replacement  ). ■
