Control Unit Input Test

NOTE: Make sure the ignition switch is OFF before disconnecting the under-dash fuse/relay box connectors.
  1. Before testing the entry light control functions, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control system using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ), and the keyless receiver unit input test (see KEYLESS RECEIVER UNIT INPUT TEST ).

  2. Remove the left kick panel (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - DOOR AREAS ).
  3. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors E, J, H, W, and P.
    NOTE: All connectors are shown from wire side of female terminals.

  4. Inspect the connector 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 connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, the recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6.

      J4 BRN/BLK Disconnect door multiplex control unit connector A (22P) Check for continuity between the J4 terminal and door multiplex control unit connector A (22P) No. 5 terminal:
      There should be continuity.      		 An open in the wire
      Check for continuity to ground:
      There should be no continuity.      		 A short to ground 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 appropriate connectors on the under-dash fuse/relay box.
    • 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 7.
