Reminder Systems (MICU and Gauge Control Module) Input Test

NOTE: 

MICU 

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

2. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors B, D, H, N, and Q.

NOTE:  All connector views are shown from the wire side of the female terminals.

Inspect the connectors and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

With the connectors still disconnected, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
N23 BRN Driver's door open Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Faulty driver's door switch
  • Faulty driver's door switch ground
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Driver's door closed Measure the voltage to ground: There should be about 5 V.
  • Faulty driver's door switch
  • A short to ground in the wire
D4* 1 PNK Ignition key inserted into the ignition key cylinder Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • Faulty ignition key switch
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Ignition key removed from the ignition key cylinder Measure the voltage to ground: There should be about 5 V.
  • Faulty ignition key switch
  • A short to ground in the wire

  • A short to ground in the wire
B5. B10 GRY. GRY Combination light switch (PARKING position) ON Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Faulty combination light switch
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Combination light switch OFF Measure the voltage to ground: There should be about 5 V.
  • Faulty combination light switch
  • A short to ground in the wire
B11. B10 WHT. GRY Combination light switch (headlight) ON Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Faulty combination light switch
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Combination light switch OFF Measure the voltage to ground: There should be about 5 V.
  • Faulty combination light switch
  • A short to ground in the wire

*1: Without keyless access system

*2: With keyless access system

Reconnect the connectors to the under-dash fuse/relay box, and do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
Q15 RED In all power modes Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. B21 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained

  • Poor ground (G401)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
H1 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
N6 BLK 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
N38 BLK 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

Gauge Control Module 

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

7. Disconnect the gauge control module 32P connector

Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

With the connectors still disconnected, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
4 BLU Disconnect the electric parking brake control unit 30P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 4 and electric parking brake control unit 30P connector terminal No. 17:There should be continuity.
  • An open or high resistance in the wire

Reconnect the connector, and do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
16 RED Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. B21 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
15 LT GRN Vehicle ON mode Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. C34 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
17 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

11. If multiple failures are found on more than one control unit, replace the under-dash fuse/relay box (includes the MICU). If input failures are related to a particular control unit, replace the gauge control module .
