Safety Indicator System (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 Gauges Control Module Self-Diagnostic Function  or 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 the Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box - Removal and Installation connectors D, F, M, 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
M9	WHT	Under all conditions	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be battery voltage.	Blown No. A26 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box An open or high resistance in the wire
F2	WHT	Vehicle ON mode	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be battery voltage.	Blown No. B1-6 (30 A) fuse in the auxiliary under-hood fuse/relay box Faulty under-dash subrelay box An open or high resistance in the wire
D14	BLK	In all power modes	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be less than 0.2 V.	Poor ground (G601) An open or high resistance in the ground wire

		Front passenger's door closed	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.	Faulty front passenger's door switch A short to ground in the wire
D34	PNK	Left rear door open	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be less than 0.2 V.	Faulty left rear door switch Faulty left rear door switch ground An open or high resistance in the wire
		Left rear door closed	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be about battery voltage.	Faulty left rear door switch A short to ground in the wire
D28	GRN	Right rear door open	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be less than 0.2 V.	Faulty right rear door switch Faulty right rear door switch ground An open or high resistance in the wire
		Right rear door closed	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be about battery voltage.	Faulty right rear door switch A short to ground in the wire
D39	PNK	Power tailgate closer unit connector B (6P) disconnected*1	Check for continuity between terminal D39 and power tailgate closer unit connector B (6P) terminal No. 5:   There should be continuity.	An open high resistance in the wire
		Tailgate open*2	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be less than 0.2 V.	Faulty tailgate latch switch Poor ground (G604) or an open in the ground wire An open or high resistance in the wire
		Tailgate closed*2	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be about battery voltage.	Faulty tailgate latch switch A short to ground in the wire

*1: With power tailgate

*2: Without power tailgate

Gauge Control Module 

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

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
1	WHT	Under all conditions	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be battery voltage.	Blown No. A26 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box An open or high resistance in the wire
17	GRN	Vehicle ON mode	Measure the voltage to ground:   There should be battery voltage.	Blown No. D1 (7.5 A) fuse in the auxiliary under-dash fuse/relay box*1 Blown No. C29 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box*2 An open or high resistance in the wire
