Reminder Systems (MICU and Gauge Control Module) Input Test

NOTE:

If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Refer to: Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Initial Communication and DTC Checks Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode 1 and Test Mode 2 (without the HDS)Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode B - Control Unit Not Communicating Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode C - No DTCs and Output Won't Shut OFF Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode D - No DTCs and Output Won't Turn ON .
Before testing, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function to make sure the beeper and the indicators in the gauge control module work properly and the F-CAN line are OK.
Before testing, make sure the No. A29 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box is OK.
Before testing, make sure the No. B5 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box is OK.

3. Inspect the connectors 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 are OK, go to step 4.

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

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 5.

Cavity	Wire	Test condition	Test: Desired result	Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
P11^*	GRY	Disconnect the keyless access control unit connector C (24P)	Check for continuity between terminal P11 and keyless access control unit connector C (24P) terminal No. 6: There should be continuity.	An open or high resistance in the wire

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

If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
