Gauge Control Module Input Test

NOTE: Before testing, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function, and make sure the B-CAN communication line is OK.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Remove the gauge control module (A) (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT  ), and disconnect the 32P connector (B) from it.

  3. 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.
  4. With the connector 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
      16 WHT Combination light switch ON Attach to ground with a jumper wire: The A/T gear position indicator panel light, hazard warning switch light, power mirror switch light, audio unit light, audio-navigation unit light (if equipped), and VSA OFF switch light should come on full bright.
      • Faulty bulbs
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      • Open or high resistance to ground (G501) to terminal No. 4
      15 BLU Combination light switch ON Attach to ground with a jumper wire: The front passenger's airbag cutoff indicator, steering wheel switches light, and climate control unit light should come on full bright.
      • Faulty LEDs
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      • Open or high resistance to ground (G501) to terminal No. 4
      8 WHT Ignition switch ON (II), turn signal switch in RIGHT Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage when the lights are flashing.
      • Faulty MICU
      • Faulty combination light switch
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      7 BLU Ignition switch ON (II), turn signal switch in LEFT Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage when the lights are flashing.
      • Faulty MICU
      • Faulty combination light switch
      • An open in the wire
      31 GRN Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connector Y (16P) Check for continuity between terminal No. 31 and under-dash fuse/relay box connector Y (16P) terminal No. 6: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the B-CAN wire
      Disconnect the immobilizer control unit 7P connector Check for continuity to ground: There should be no continuity. An open or high resistance in the B-CAN wire
  5. Reconnect the 32P connector to the gauge control module, and 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, the gauge control module must be faulty; replace it (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT  ).
