DTC : B1828

DTC B1828  : Recline pulse error (no change in pulse for 1 second)

DTC (Power Seat Control Unit)

• NOTE:  If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Go to: Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Initial Communication and DTC Checks .
• When check the REC FR line circuit, do not operate the second row seat access lever, because limit switch is located in the circuit.
• If DTC B1827 and B1828 are both indicated, check for a blown No. C15 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If the fuse blows again, check for a short to ground in the recline motor circuit.

1. Problem verification

   - 1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

   Clear DTCs

   - 2. Operate the seatback of the power seat to its most upright position and then to the most reclined position. (Two times)

   - 3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
