Gauge Control Module Input Test (2014)

NOTE:

Before testing, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function , and make sure the B-CAN communication lines are OK.
If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Refer to: Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Initial Communication and DTC Checks .
Before testing, make sure the No. A21 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box is OK.
Before testing, make sure the No. B5 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box is OK.

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2. Disconnect the gauge control module connectors

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

If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
If the terminals are OK, go to step 4.

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

If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
If the terminals are OK, go to step 5.

Cavity	Wire	Test condition	Test: Desired result	Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
A15	ORN	Combination light switch ON	Connect to ground with a jumper wire: The dashlights should come on full bright.	Faulty LEDs An open or high resistance in the wire
A16	RED	Combination light switch ON	Connect to ground with a jumper wire: The dashlights should come on full bright.	Faulty bulbs An open or high resistance in the wire
A24	BLU	Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, turn signal switch to LEFT	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage when the lights are flashing.	Faulty MICU Faulty combination light switch An open or high resistance in the wire
A25	GRN	Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, turn signal switch to RIGHT	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage when the lights are flashing.	Faulty MICU Faulty combination light switch An open or high resistance in the wire

5. Reconnect the connector, 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, replace the gauge control module .
