Reminder Systems (MICU, Rear MICU, and Gauge Control Module) Input Test (2016)

NOTE:

Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control unit first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Refer to: Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Initial Communication and DTC Checks (2014 2015 2016)
Before testing, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function - Refer to: Gauges Self-Diagnostic Function (2016) to make sure the beeper and the indicators in the gauge control module work properly and the F-CAN line are OK.
Before testing, make sure the No. C16 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box is OK.
Without auto idle stop system: Before testing, make sure the No. D11 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box is OK.
With auto idle stop system: Before testing, make sure the No. D24 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box, and No. H7 (10 A) fuse in the auxiliary driver's under-dash fuse/relay box are OK.

MICU

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

2. Disconnect driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connectors G, H, P, and Q - Refer to: Driver's Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation, .

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

3. Inspect the connectors 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 are OK, go to step 4.

4. Reconnect the connectors to the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box, and do the following input tests:

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 9.

7. 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 8.

8. With the connectors still disconnected, do the following input tests:

If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.

13. If multiple failures are found on more than one control unit, replace the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box - Refer to: Driver's Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation, and/or rear fuse/relay box (includes the MICU) . If input failures are related to a particular control unit, replace the gauge control module .
