Automatic Lighting Control Unit Input Test/Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Pilot, 2010 Honda Pilot, and 2009 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control unit first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Disconnect the 14P connector (A) from the automatic lighting control unit (B).

  3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they 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 these input tests.
    • If any tests indicate a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step  5.
    TEST CONDITION TABLE

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    3 LT GRN Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 3 and under-dash fuse/relay box connector T (34P) terminal No. 29: There should be continuity. An open in the B-CAN wire
    4 WHT Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 4 and under-dash fuse/relay box connector T (34P) terminal No. 12: There should be continuity. An open in the B-CAN wire
    5 BLU / WHT Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 5 and automatic lighting sensor 5P connector terminal No. 1: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
    6 BLU / RED Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 6 and automatic lighting sensor 5P connector terminal No. 3: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
    14 BLU / BLK Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 14 and automatic lighting sensor 5P connector terminal No. 5: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
    1 LT GRN Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 1 and under-dash fuse/relay box connector S (20P) terminal No. 11: There should be continuity. An open in the wire
  5. Reconnect the connectors, then do these input tests at the following connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, replace the automatic lighting control unit.
    TEST CONDITION TABLE
