MICU Input Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Before testing, check the No. 1 (15 A), No. 22 (7.5 A), and No. 23 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Remove the fuse access panel (see FUSE ACCESS PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), and remove the driver's dashboard lower cover (see FUSE ACCESS PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  3. Disconnect the under-dash fuse/relay box connectors A, B, C, E, K, M, N, Q, and W.
    NOTE: All connector views are shown from wire side of female terminals.

  4. With the connectors still disconnected, 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.

    • Faulty gauge control module
    • An open in the wire
    • Poor ground (G501)
    Q6 WHT Under all conditions Connect terminals B23 and Q6 with a jumper wire: The right turn signal indicator and right side turn signal light(1) should come on.
    • Faulty gauge control module
    • Faulty LED(1)
    • An open in the wire
    • Poor ground (G501, G502(1))
    E7(1) BLU Under all conditions Connect terminals B23 and E7 with a jumper wire: The left side turn signal light should come on.
    • Poor ground (G501)
    • Faulty LED
    • An open in the wire
    (1) With side turn signal light
  5. 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, the MICU must be faulty; replace the under-dash fuse/relay box:
