Reminder Systems (MICU And Gauge Control Module) Input Test

NOTE:

Refer to the Electrical Wiring Diagrams for the location of the under-dash fuse/relay box connectors.
Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control unit first, using 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, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function to make sure the beeper and the indicators in the gauge control module work properly and the F-CAN line are OK.
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.

MICU

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

2. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors D, E, N, and P

3. Inspect the connectors 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. Reconnect the connectors to the 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, go to step 5.

Cavity	Wire	Test condition	Test: Desired result	Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
E6 *	BLK	In all power modes	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.	Poor ground (G401) An open or high resistance in the ground wire
P1	BLK	In all power modes	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.	Poor ground (G501) An open or high resistance in the ground wire

N20 N1	GRY BLK	Combination light switch (PARKING position) ON	Measure the voltage between terminals N1 and N20: There should be less than 0.2 V.	Faulty combination light switch An open or high resistance in the wire
N20 N1	GRY BLK	Combination light switch OFF	Measure the voltage between terminals N1 and N20: There should be about 5 V.	Faulty combination light switch A short to ground in the wire
N19 N1	YEL BLK	Combination light switch (headlight) ON	Measure the voltage between terminals N1 and N19: There should be less than 0.2 V.	Faulty combination light switch An open or high resistance in the wire
N19 N1	YEL BLK	Combination light switch OFF	Measure the voltage between terminals N1 and N19: There should be about 5 V.	Faulty combination light switch A short to ground in the wire

Gauge Control Module

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

6. Disconnect the gauge control module connector A (32P)

7. 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 8.

8. 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, go to step 9.

Cavity	Wire	Test condition	Test: Desired result	Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
A1	WHT	Under all conditions	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.	Blown No. A21 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box An open or high resistance in the wire
A17	BRN	Turn the vehicle to the ON mode	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.	Blown No. B5 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box An open or high resistance in the wire
A4	BRN	In all power modes	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.	Poor ground (G502) An open or high resistance in the ground wire
A10	LT GRN	Parking brake switch ON (Lever pulled)	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.	Faulty parking brake switch An open or high resistance in the wire
