MICU Input Test

NOTE:
  • Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control system first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A )
  • Before testing, make sure the No 5 (7 5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box is OK

Driver's MICU 

  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0)
  2. Remove the driver's dashboard undercover (see DRIVER'S POCKET REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), then remove the dashboard lower cover (see DRIVER'S DASHBOARD LOWER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION )
  3. Disconnect driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connectors D, F, N, P, Q, and R
    NOTE: All connector views are wire side of female terminals

  4. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary and recheck the system
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 5
  5. With the connectors still disconnected, do these input tests at the following connector
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6
