Driver's Unit

  1. Remove the driver's multiplex control unit from the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box, and disconnect its connector.
  2. Inspect all 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 3.

  3. With the driver's multiplex control unit still disconnected, make these input tests at the 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 4.

      Check for continuity between the B14 terminal and body ground:
      There should be no continuity.
      Short in the wire
      (1) For PCM connector terminal locations (see PCM INPUTS AND OUTPUTS AT CONNECTOR A ).
  4. Reconnect the driver's multiplex control unit to the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box, turn the ignition switch ON (II) to keep the system awake, and make these input tests at the appropriate connectors on the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
    • 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 1 in PASSENGER'S UNIT  .
