Gauges Symptom Troubleshooting - Integrated Dynamics System Mode Does Not Change: Inspection

Signal (IDS_LEFT), Signal (IDS_RIGHT), GND (GND) Circuit Inspection 

Test Procedure 

• Preparation
  • Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected
  • Integrated dynamics system switch 12P connector: disconnected
• Procedure
  • Perform the inspection according to the following table.

	IDS_LEFT open wire inspection	OFF			There is less than 1 Ohm
	IDS_RIGHT open wire inspection	OFF			There is less than 1 Ohm
	GND open wire inspection	OFF			There is less than 1 Ohm
	NOTE: Refer to the Open/Shorted Wire Inspection Description for the method to inspect the shorted circuit below, then start to inspect according to circumstances.
	IDS_LEFT shorted to ground inspection	OFF			Not shorted
	IDS_RIGHT shorted to ground inspection	OFF			Not shorted

Results 

• If abnormal, there is a problem in the circuit.

Integrated Dynamics System Switch Inspection 

Test Procedure 

• Install a known-good integrated dynamics system switch and attempt to reproduce the failure.

Results 

• If the failure is reproduced, there is a problem with the related components.
• If the symptom/DTC goes away, the integrated dynamics system switch must be faulty.

Gauge Control Module Inspection 

Test Procedure 

• If the other inspection item(s) indicated a normal condition, then it is determined that the remaining gauge control module is the cause.

Results 

• There is a problem with the gauge control module.
