DTC B1825: Slide 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 ).

Clear the DTC with the HDS.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
Slide the power seat forward and backward with the power seat adjustment switch for more than 2 seconds, in each direction.
Does the motor run continuously for more than 2 seconds?
1. YES - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for a poor connection at the sensor and at the power seat control unit connector A (20P).
2. NO - Go to step 4.
Slide the power seat forward and backward with the power seat adjustment switch again.
Does the motor run for about 1 second?
1. YES - Go to step 5.
2. NO - Go to step 16.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Remove the driver's power seat (see FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
Disconnect the power seat control unit connector A (20P), slide position sensor connector (3P), and front up-down motor/position sensor connector (5P).
Check for continuity between the slide position sensor connector (3P) No. 1 terminal and power seat control unit connector A (20P) No. 2 terminal.
