DTC B1508: Seat Slide Sensor System Fault Power Supply Circuit (Short-Circuited to Power Supply)

CAUTION

If DTC B1508 is set in the combination meter,
always diagnose the CAN bus lines.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The seat slide sensor sets the current value Hi or

Low determined by the seat position.

• The SRS-ECU determines the seat position

according to the current value from the seat slide
sensor.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance
between the input terminals of the seat slide sensor.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Short to the power supply in the seat slide sensor

harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN

Communication System)

• MB991865: Dummy resistor

• MB991866: Resister harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus
line.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the

scan tool

P.52B-30

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C,

Diagnosis ).

STEP 2. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor

engaged connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunctions ).

STEP 3. Check the seat slide sensor. (Using scan tool
MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect the seat slide sensor connector D-27.

(3) Connect special tool MB991865 to special tool MB991866.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front
side directly, as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
(4) Insert special tool MB991866 into the D-27 harness side

connector by backprobing.

(5) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6) Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check the

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC B1508 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the seat slide sensor (Refer to

P.52B-384

).

Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check the seat slide sensor circuit. Measure the
voltage at the SRS-ECU connector C-122.
(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-122.

(2) Disconnect seat slide sensor connector D-27.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front
side directly, as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
(4) Measure the voltage between C-122 harness side

connector terminals 1, 2 and body ground.
Voltage should measure 0 volt.

Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

YES : Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1508 sets,
replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-365

). Then go

to Step 6.

NO : Go to Step 5.
