Reminder Systems (MICU and Gauge Control Module) Input Test (2014 2015)

NOTE:

Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control unit first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A .
Before testing, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function 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.
Before testing, make sure the No. D11 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box is OK.

MICU

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

2. Disconnect driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connectors E, G, H, N, P, and Q

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 5.

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 are OK, go to step 8.

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

If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
If the input test prove OK, go to step 9.

9. Reconnect the connector, 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 10.
