DTC B1506: Seat Slide Sensor System Fault 1 (Open in the Seat Slide Sensor Circuit)

CAUTION

If DTC B1506 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN main bus line.

.

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 sen-
sor. The most likely causes for this code to be set 
are the followings: 

• Open circuit in the seat slide sensor or har-

ness

• Malfunction of connector contact

However, if no DTC reset, the SRS warning light will 
be switched off (DTC will be retained). 

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Open circuit in the seat slide sensor circuit

• Disengaged seat slide sensor connector

• Improper connector contact

• 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 

P.54C-14

).

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 Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction 

P.00-6

).

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 B1506 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 harness for open circuit between 
SRS-ECU connector C-122 (terminal No.1 and 2) and the 
seat slide sensor connector D-27 (terminal No.1 and 2).

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-122 and side-airbag 

module (RH) connector D-27.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front 
side directly, as the connector contact pressure may be 
weakened.
(2) Check for continuity between the following terminals. It 

should be less than 2 ohms.

• SRS-ECU connector C-122 (terminal No.2) and the seat 

slide sensor connector D-27 (terminal No.1)

• SRS-ECU connector C-122 (terminal No.1) and the seat 

slide sensor connector D-27 (terminal No.2)

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check 

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1506 sets, 
replace the SRS-ECU. (Refer to 

P.52B-365

). Then go 

to Step 5.

NO :  Replace the harness wires between SRS-ECU 

connector C-122 and seat slide sensor connector 
D-27. Then go to Step 5.
