DTC (Gauge Control Module)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode and then the ON mode.

    -3. Wait for at least 6 seconds.

    Are any DTCs indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals.

  2. Open wire check (B-CAN_H line, B-CAN_L line)

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

    -2. Disconnect the receiving control unit connector.

    Gauge control module connector A (32P)

    -3. Disconnect the transmitting control unit connector(s).

    Refer to the DTC shown on the display, then disconnect the connector(s) based on the instructions (see table).
