MICU Input Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Before performing the input tests, check the No. 1, No. 5, No. 15, No. 22, No. 24, No. 32, No. 34, No. 48, and No. 51 fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Remove the fuse access panel (see FUSE ACCESS PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  3. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors A, B, C, K, M, N, Q, R, S, and W.
    NOTE: All connector views are wire side of female terminals.

  4. 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 look OK, go to step  5.
  5. With the connectors still disconnected, do these input tests at the following connectors.
    • 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  6.
