Safety Indicator System (Body Control Module and Gauge Control Module) Input Test (5-door) (2017 2018 2019 2020 2021)

NOTE: 

*1: Except K20C1 engine

*2: K20C1 engine

Body Control Module 

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2. Disconnect body control module connectors A, C, D, and E.

NOTE:  All connector views are shown from the wire side of the female terminals.

Inspect the connectors and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

Reconnect the connectors to the body control module, and do the following input tests:
