Diagnostic procedure

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY WHERE MALFUNCTION IS IN WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS' COMMON POWER SUPPLY, OR IN OTHER WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS  Yes Go to Step 5.
No If communication error message is displayed on the M-MDS screen:
  • Go to the next step.

If communication error message is not displayed:
2 INSPECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER POWER SUPPLY FUSE 
  • Inspect the instrument cluster ignition power supply fuse.
  • Is the fuse normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect the blown fuse's circuit for short to ground.
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground as necessary.
Install appropriate amperage fuse.
*3 VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER POWER SUPPLY AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR CONTINUITY) OR ELSEWHERE 
  • Switch the ignition to ON.
  • Measure the voltage at the instrument cluster terminal 2S (wiring harness-side).
  • Is the voltage approx. 12 V? 
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between instrument cluster terminal 2S (wiring harness-side) and ignition switch.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 

  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
*4 VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND GROUND FOR CONTINUITY) OR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Disconnect the instrument cluster connector.
  • Inspect for continuity between instrument cluster terminal 2K (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Replace the instrument cluster. (Open circuit in the instrument cluster)
(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit and poor contact in GND point.
5 CONFIRM DSC HU/CM DTC  Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)] .)
No If communication error message is displayed on the M-MDS screen:
  • Go to the next step.

If communication error message is not displayed:
  • Go to Step 9.
6 INSPECT DSC HU/CM POWER SUPPLY FUSE 
  • Inspect the DSC HU/CM ignition power supply fuse.
  • Is the fuse normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect the blown fuse's circuit for short to ground.
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground as necessary.
Install appropriate amperage fuse.
*7 VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN DSC HU/CM POWER SUPPLY AND DSC HU/CM FOR CONTINUITY) OR ELSEWHERE 
  • Switch the ignition to ON.
  • Measure the voltage at the DSC HU/CM terminal Q (wiring harness-side).
  • Is the voltage approx. 12 V? 
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect for open circuit between DSC HU/CM and ignition.
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit as necessary.
*8 VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN DSC HU/CM AND GROUND FOR CONTINUITY) OR ELSEWHERE 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Disconnect the DSC HU/CM connector.
  • Inspect for continuity between DSC HU/CM terminal AL (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Replace the DSC HU/CM. (Open circuit in the DSC HU/CM)
(See DSC HU/CM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit and poor contact in GND point.
9 CONFIRM INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DTC  Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER] .)
No Replace the instrument cluster.
(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
