    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

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

  2. Determine possible failure area (gauge control module power and ground, B CAN line)

    -1. Select GAUGES from the BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SELECT menu, and then select DATA LIST.

    Does the DATA LIST appear?

    YES 

    Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Fuse check

    -1. Check the following fuse.

  5. Open wire check (B CAN-H line)

    -1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Automatic lighting/rain sensor 5P connector

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

    Test condition OFF mode
    Gauge control module 32P connector: disconnected
    Automatic lighting/rain sensor 5P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit B CAN-H

  6. Open wire check (B CAN-L line)

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

    Test condition OFF mode
    Gauge control module 32P connector: disconnected
    Automatic lighting/rain sensor 5P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit B CAN-L
    Test point 1 Automatic lighting/rain sensor 5P connector No. 3 (BLU)
    Test point 2 Gauge control module 32P connector No. 26 (BLU)
