Relay Control Module Input Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Before testing the relay control module, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control unit first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Remove the under-hood fuse/relay box DTC B1065: RELAY CONTROL MODULE LOST COMMUNICATION WITH DRIVER'S MPCS UNIT (DRLOCKSW MESSAGE) ).
- Disconnect under-hood fuse/relay box connectors D (10P) and E (14P).
- 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 look OK, go to step 5.
- With the connectors 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 6.
Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained E1 LT GRN Under all conditions (Under-dash fuse/relay box connector D(17P) disconnected Check for continuity between terminal E1 and under-dash fuse/relay box connector D (17P) terminal No. 11:
There should be continuity.An open or high resistance in the wire Check for continuity to ground:
There should be no continuity.A short to ground in the wire - Reconnect the connectors, 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, replace the relay control module.
| Cavity | Wire | Test condition | Test: Desired result | Possible cause if desired result is not obtained |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D3 | BLK | In all ignition switch positions | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V. |
|
| D4 | BLK | In all ignition switch positions | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V. |
|
| D6 | WHT | Under all conditions | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. |
|
| D7 | YEL | Ignition switch ON (II) | Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. |
