    YES 

    Go to the troubleshooting for CAN gateway system DTC (s) .

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. F-CAN circuit communication check

    - 1. Select the FUNCTION TEST in the CAN gateway with the HDS, then select the F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check.

    F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check

    Which result is indicated?

    GAUGE CONTROL MODULE (Bus A) is Not Available

    Go to step 4.

    KEYLESS ACCESS/TPMS CONTROL UNIT (Bus B) is Not Available

    Go to step 6.

    GAUGE CONTROL MODULE and TPMS CONTROL UNIT are Detected

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the gauge control module, the CAN gateway, and the keyless access/TPMS control unit.

  4. Open wire check (F-CAN A_H line)

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

    - 2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    Gauge control module 32P connector
    CAN gateway 24P connector

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

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Gauge control module 32P connector: disconnected
      CAN gateway 24P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Gauge control module 32P connector No. 27 - Refer to:
    Gauge Control Module Input Test (2016), or
    Gauge Control Module Input Test (2017 2018 2019 2020)
    Test point 2 CAN gateway 24P connector No. 14

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The F-CAN A_H wire is OK. Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the F-CAN A_H wire between the gauge control module and the CAN gateway.

  5. Open wire check (F-CAN A_L line)

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

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Gauge control module 32P connector: disconnected
      CAN gateway 24P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Gauge control module 32P connector No. 28 - Refer to:
    Gauge Control Module Input Test (2016), or
    Gauge Control Module Input Test (2017 2018 2019 2020)
    Test point 2 CAN gateway 24P connector No. 15
    GHH321739Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The F-CAN A_L wire is OK. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CAN gateway and the gauge control module. Substitute a known-good gauge control module , then recheck. If DTC U0127 is not indicated the gauge control module was substituted, replace the original gauge control module .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the F-CAN A_L wire between the gauge control module and the CAN gateway.

  6. Open wire check (F-CAN B_H line)

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

    - 2. Disconnect the following connectors.
