3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

4. With the connectors still disconnected, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained
7 BRN Turn the vehicle to the ON mode Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Blown No. B5 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
1* YEL Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, acoustic vehicle alerting off switch pushed Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. B5 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Faulty acoustic vehicle alerting system off switch
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, acoustic vehicle alerting off switch released Measure the voltage to ground: There should be no voltage.
  • Faulty acoustic vehicle alerting system off switch
9* PNK Turn the vehicle to the ON mode Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Faulty LED
  • Blown No. B5 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
  • Faulty acoustic vehicle alerting system off switch

*: Canada model

5. Reconnect the connector, and do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained
12 BRN In all power modes Measure the voltage to ground:

There should be less than 0.2 V.

  • Poor ground (G506)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
