NO -
Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.�
21. Reconnect power seat control unit connector B (40P).
22. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
23. 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 -
Faulty recline position sensor, replace the slide motor/position sensor Front Seat Slide Motor Replacement.�
NO -
Replace the power seat control unit Power Seat Control Unit Input Test/Replacement.�
24. Check the No. 21 (20 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
