  3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals for a good pinfit 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  4.
  4. Reconnect the connector, and make these input tests at the 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.
    WIRE AND CAVITY REFERENCE TABLE

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained
    1 BLK Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
    • Poor ground (G403)
    • An open or high resistance in the wire
    15 WHT Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 23 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-hood fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
    16 PUR Ignition switch ACC (I) or ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 35 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
  5. Disconnect the 28P connector again, and do this input test at the connector.
    • If the test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If the input test proves OK, the HandsFreeLink control unit must be faulty, replace it (see HANDSFREELINK CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  ).
