Gauge Control Module Input Test
NOTE:
Before testing, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic procedure.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Remove the gauge control module and disconnect its connectors (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).
- 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 are OK, go to step 4.
- With the connectors still disconnected, make these input tests at the appropriate connector.
- 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.
GAUGE CONTROL MODULE INPUTCavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained B8 ORN Under all conditions Attach to ground:
The horn sounds.- Blown No. 16 (15 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
- Faulty horn relay
- An open in the wire
C19 BLU Under all conditions Attach to ground:
Exterior lights and interior lights come on.- Blown No. 9 (30 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
- Blown No. 22(10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
- Faulty taillight relay
- An open in the wire
C36 BRN/YEL Under all conditions Attach to ground:
Headlights come on.- Poor ground (G402)
- Blown No. 12 (20 A) fuse and No. 13 (20 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
- An open in the wire
C40 LT GRN/ RED Under all conditions Momentarily connect C40 terminal to A1 terminal with a jumper wire:
All doors should lock.- Faulty door lock relay
- Poor ground(G402)
- An open in the wire
B3 YEL/GRN Under all conditions Momentarily connect B3 terminal to A1 terminal with a jumper wire:
Driver's door should unlock.- Faulty driver's door unlock relay
- Poor ground(G402)
- An open in the wire
C20 GRN Under all conditions Momentarily connect C20 terminal to A1 terminal with a jumper wire:
Passenger doors/tailgate should unlock- Faulty passenger's door/tailgate unlock relay
- Poor ground (G402)
- An open in the wire
- Reconnect the connectors to the gauge control module, and perform these input tests at the appropriate connectors.
- If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all the input tests prove OK, the gauge control module must be faulty; replace it.
