Safety Indicator System (MICU and Gauge Control Module) (2013 2014 2015)

NOTE: 

MICU 

1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

2. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors B and W

.NOTE:  All connector views are shown from the wire side of the female terminals.

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

Reconnect the connectors to the under-dash fuse/relay box, and do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired resultis not obtained

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

Reconnect the connector, and do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired resultis not obtained
1 WHT Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground:There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. A29 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
  • Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
2 BRN Power mode ON Measure the voltage to ground:There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. B5 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
16 GRY In all power modes Measure the voltage to ground:There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G502)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire

9. If multiple failures are found on more than one control unit, replace the under-dash fuse/relay box (includes the MICU). If input failures are related to a particular control unit, replace the gauge control module .
