Reminder Systems (MICU, Rear MICU, and Gauge Control Module) Input Test (2017 2018 2019 2020)

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 (2017 2018 2019 2020)
Before testing, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function - Refer to: Gauges Self-Diagnostic Function (2017 2018 2019 2020) 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.

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.

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) .
