Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired resultis not obtained
19 RED Combination light switch ON Connect to ground with a jumper wire:The dashlights should come on full bright.
  • Faulty LEDs
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
20 RED Combination light switch ON Connect to ground with a jumper wire:The dashlights should come on full bright.
  • Faulty bulbs
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
18 BLU Power mode ON, turn signal switch to LEFT Measure the voltage to ground:There should be battery voltage when the lights are flashing.
  • Faulty MICU
  • Faulty combination light switch
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
17 GRN Power mode ON, turn signal switch to RIGHT Measure the voltage to ground:There should be battery voltage when the lights are flashing.
  • Faulty MICU
  • Faulty combination light switch
  • An open or high resistance in the wire

Reconnect the connector, and do the following input tests:

27 LT GRN Power mode ON, parking brake lever pulled Measure the voltage to ground:There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Faulty parking brake switch
  • Faulty parking brake switch ground
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Power mode ON, parking brake lever released Measure the voltage to ground:There should be about 5 V.
  • Faulty parking brake switch
  • A short to ground in the wire
12 * BLU Power mode ON, washer fluid is half or more in the washer reservoir Measure the voltage to ground:There should be about 5 V.
  • Faulty washer fluid level switch
  • A short to ground in the wire
Power mode ON, washer fluid is empty in the washer reservoir Measure the voltage to ground:There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Faulty washer fluid level switch
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
