Open wire check (IG1 ABS/VSA (or IG1 VSA/ABS) line)

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

-2. Disconnect the following connector.

VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector

-3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

-4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
	VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector: disconnected
Test point 1	VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector No. 13
Test point 2	Body ground

Is there battery voltage?

YES

The IG1 ABS/VSA (or IG1 VSA/ABS) wire is OK. Go to step 5.

Repair an open in the wire between the No. A41 fuse and the VSA modulator-control unit.

Open wire check (+B ABS/VSA FSR line)

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

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

Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
	VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector: disconnected
Test point 1	VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector No. 1
Test point 2	Body ground

Is there battery voltage?

YES

The +B ABS/VSA FSR wire is OK. Go to step 6.

Repair an open in the wire between the No. A2-3 fuse and the VSA modulator-control unit.

Open wire check (GND line)

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

Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
	VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector: disconnected
Test point 1	VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector No. 4
Test point 2	Body ground

Is there continuity?

YES

The GND wire is OK. Go to step 7.

Repair an open in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit and body ground (G401).

Open wire check (F-CAN A_H, F-CAN A_L lines)

-1. Disconnect the following connectors.

Gauge control module connector A (32P)

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

Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
	VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector: disconnected
	Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected
Test point 1	Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 20
Test point 2	VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector No. 20

Test point 1	Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 21
Test point 2	VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector No. 21

Is there continuity?

YES

Check for loose terminals in the VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector. If the symptom/indication is still present, replace the VSA modulator-control unit .

Repair an open in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit and the gauge control module.
