Reminder Systems (MICU And Gauge Control Module) (2016 2017 2018)

NOTE: 

• 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 Gauges 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. A26 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box is OK.
• Before testing, make sure the No. B1-6 (30 A) fuse in the auxiliary under-hood fuse/relay box is OK.
• Before testing, make sure the No. C29 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box is OK.
• With auto idle stop system: Before testing, make sure the No. D1 (7.5 A) fuse in the auxiliary under-dash fuse/relay box is OK.

MICU 

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

2. Disconnect Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box - Removal and Installation connectors D, F, M, 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.
