    Is DTC P16E7 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the 12 volt battery fan motor and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016), or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015) .

  2. Determine possible failure area (IG1 OPTION line, BATT FAN GND line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector (male terminals) No. 1:
    Test point 2 12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector (male terminals) No. 3:

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Go to step 7.

  3. Determine possible failure area (LIN(METER) line shorted, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector (male terminals) No. 2:
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    The LIN(METER) wire is not shorted. Go to step 5.

  4. Shorted wire check (LIN(METER) line)

    -1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    - 2. Continue to check for continuity between 12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground, while disconnecting these connectors, one at a time:

    • Gauge control module connector A (32P)
    • Cable reel connector A (20P)

    Does continuity go away when one of the above connectors is disconnected?

    YES 

    The LIN(METER) wire is OK. Replace the part that caused an open when it was disconnected. If these parts are OK, replace the 12 volt battery fan motor .

    NO 

    Repair a short in the LIN(METER) wire between the gauge control module, the cable reel, and the 12 volt battery fan motor.

  5. Open wire check (LIN(METER) line)

    -1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Gauge control module connector A (32P)

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected
      12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector (male terminals) No. 2:
    Test point 2 Gauge control module connector A (32P) (female terminals) No. 24:

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The LIN(METER) wire is OK. Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the LIN(METER) wire between the gauge control module and the 12 volt battery fan motor.

  6. 12 volt battery fan motor check (substitution)

    -1. Substitute a known-good 12 volt battery fan motor.

    - 2. Reconnect all connectors.

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
