MICU Input Test (2017 2018 2019)

NOTE:
  • Before testing, check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
  • If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A .
  • Before testing, make sure the fuses associated with the system is OK.

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

2. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors.
