MICU Input Test

  1. Before troubleshooting the entry lights control system, refer to B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).
  2. Check the No. 10 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If any fuse is blown, replace it and go to step 3.
  3. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors E, F, K, R, and T.
    NOTE: All connector views are shown from wire side of female terminals.

  4. 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.
  5. With the connectors still disconnected, make these input tests at the appropriate connector.
    • 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.
    SYMPTOM CHART

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    K4 PNK Interior light switch in middle (DOOR) position Attach to ground: The ceiling light and front individual map lights should come on.
    • Blown No. 22 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
    • Blown bulb(s)
    • Faulty ceiling light
    • Faulty front individual map light
    • Faulty interior light switch
    • Faulty junction box
    • An open in the wire
  6. Reconnect the connectors to the under-dash fuse/relay box, turn the ignition switch ON (II), and make these input tests at the connectors.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the MICU must be faulty; replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.
