  4. Check the No. B42 + B IMA 1 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

    Is the fuse OK? 

    YES  -Go to step  5.

    NO  -Repair a short in the wire between the No. B42 + B IMA 1 (7.5 A) fuse and the MCM (A9). Also replace the No. B42 + B IMA 1 (7.5 A) fuse.

  5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  6. Turn the battery module switch OFF (see TURNING OFF AND ON POWER TO THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT  ).
  7. Remove the IPU cover (see IPU COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  ).
  8. Turn the battery module switch ON (see TURNING OFF AND ON POWER TO THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT  ).
  9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and listen for a clicking sound from MCM relay 1 (A).

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Update the MCM if it does not have the latest software (see MOTOR CONTROL MODULE (MCM) UPDATE  ), or substitute a known-good MCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE MCM  ), then recheck. If the symptom goes away with a known-good MCM, replace the original MCM (see IPU CASE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  ).

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between DLC terminal No. 14 and the MCM (A22).

  24. Measure the voltage between MCM connector terminal No. 9 and body ground.
