1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
2. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
3. Operate the power seat adjustment switch in all directions.
NOTE: Do not hold the switch for more than 1 second after the seat reaches a position limit or a DTC will beset.
4. 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 and terminal fit at the power seat control unit connector. Check the battery condition, battery cable connections, and ground G601
5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC B1836 also indicated?
YES - Go to DTC B1836 troubleshooting.
NO - Go to step 6.
6. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Are DTCs B1825, B1826, and/or B1827 also indicated?

NO - Go to step 17.
8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
9. Disconnect the power seat control unit connector A (40P).
10. Disconnect the recline motor/position sensor 5P connector.
11. Check for continuity between the power seat control unit connector A (40P) No. 10 and No. 29 terminals and recline motor/position sensor 5P connector No. 4 and No. 5 terminals.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 12.
NO - Repair open in the wire.
12. Check for continuity between the power seat control unit connector A (40P) No.10 terminal and body ground.
Is there continuity?

Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 21.
NO - Repair an open in the wire
21. Check for continuity between the recline motor/position sensor 5P connector No. 1 and No. 2 terminals and body ground.
Is there continuity?
