DTC (Gauge Control Module)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

    -2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode and then the ON mode.

    -3. Wait for at least 4 seconds.

    -4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description DTC
    B1192 Gauge control module lost communication with battery sensor ECU (LIN bus connected)  
    B1193 Gauge control module lost communication with steering switch (LIN bus connected)  

    Is DTC B1192 and/or B1193 indicated?

    YES: B1193 indicated

    Go to step 2.

    YES: B1192 and B1193 indicated

    Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections.

  2. Fuse check

    -1. Check the following fuse.

    Fuse No. B43

    Is the fuse OK?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again, repair a short to ground in the No. B43 fuse circuit.

  3. Open wire check (+B line)

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

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector

    -3. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector No. 12
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The +B wire is OK. Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

  4. Open wire check (STRG GND line)

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

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector No. 7
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The STRG GND wire is OK. Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Repair an open or high resistance in the ground wire or poor ground (G502).

  5. Open wire check (LIN (BATT SNSR)/STRG SW LIN line)

    -1. Disconnect the following connector.

    Gauge control module connector A (32P)

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

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected
    Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 4
    Test point 2 Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector No. 10

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    LIN (BATT SNSR)/STRG SW LIN wire is OK. Replace the audio remote-HFL switch .

    NO 

    An open or poor connection in the LIN (BATT SNSR)/STRG SW LIN wire.

  6. Shorted wire check (LIN (BATT SNSR)/STRG SW LIN line)

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

    -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    Gauge control module connector A (32P)
    Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector
    12 volt battery sensor 3P connector

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

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector: disconnected
    Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected
    12 volt battery sensor 3P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector No. 10
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to ground in the LIN (BATT SNSR)/STRG SW LIN wire.

    NO 

    The LIN (BATT SNSR)/STRG SW LIN wire is not shorted. Go to step 7.

  7. Open wire check (LIN (BATT SNSR)/STRG SW LIN line)

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

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector: disconnected
    Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected
    12 volt battery sensor 3P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 4
    Test point 2 Audio remote-HFL switch 12P connector No. 10

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    LIN (BATT SNSR)/STRG SW LIN wire is OK. Replace the gauge control module .
