Gauges Symptom Troubleshooting - Drive mode does not change (K20C1) (2017 2018 2019 2020 2021)

NOTE:  Confirm the control method of the integrated drive-mode system; the electric power steering system , the adaptive damper system , and the VSA system .

1. DTC check

   -1. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

   All DTCs

   Are any DTCs indicated?

   YES 

   Go to indicated DTC troubleshooting.

   NO 

   Go to step 2.

2. Drive mode system check

   -1. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   When the integrated drive-mode switch (↓) is pressed 

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   Mode UP Switch	ON
   Mode DOWN Switch	OFF

   When the integrated drive-mode switch (↓) is pressed 

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   Mode DOWN Switch	ON
   Mode UP Switch	OFF

   Are all data list values correct?

   YES 

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

   NO 

   Go to step 3.

3. Open wire check (MODE UP, MODE DOWN lines)

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

   -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

   Gauge control module connector A (32P) Integrated drive-mode switch 5P connector

   -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2 respectively.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected Integrated drive-mode switch 5P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 8
   Test point 2	Integrated drive-mode switch 5P connector No. 4

   Test point 1	Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 25
   Test point 2	Integrated drive-mode switch 5P connector No. 3

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The MODE UP and MODE DOWN wires are not open. Go to step 4.

   NO 

   Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

4. Shorted wire check (MODE UP, MODE DOWN lines)

   -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2 individually.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected Integrated drive-mode switch 5P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 8
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Test point 1	Gauge control module connector A (32P) No. 25
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short to ground in the wire.

   NO 

   The MODE UP and MODE DOWN wires are OK. Go to step 5.

5. Open wire check (GND line)

   -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Gauge control module connector A (32P): disconnected Integrated drive-mode switch 5P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Integrated drive-mode switch 5P connector No. 5
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The GND wire is OK. Replace the integrated drive-mode switch . If the symptom is still present, replace the gauge control module .

   NO 

   Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.
