  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. Reconnect the connector to the driver's MPCS unit, 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, go to step 6.
    DTC TEST REFERENCE CHART

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    A5 BLK In all ignition switch positions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
    • Poor ground(G601)
    • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
    B14 BLK In all ignition switch positions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
    • Poor ground(G601)
    • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
    A7 WHT Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 15 (40 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
    • Blown No. 7 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open or high resistance in the wire
    A25 YEL Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 21 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open or high resistance in the wire
  6. Disconnect driver's MPCS connector A (40P), 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, the driver's MPCS unit must be faulty, replace it.
    DTC TEST REFERENCE CHART

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    A8 GRY Under all conditions (Driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector J (21P), power window master switch 6P connector, and moonroof motor/control unit 10P connector disconnected) Check for continuity between terminal A8 and driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector J (21P) terminal No. 1, terminal A8 and power window master switch 6P connector terminal No. 6, and terminal A8 and moonroof motor/control unit 10P connector terminal No. 4: There should be continuity.
