    1 BLK Ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II), or the engine start/stop button to ACC mode or ON mode Measure the voltage to body ground:
    There should be less than 0.2 V.
    • Poor ground (G501)
    • An open or high resistance in the wire
    17 WHT Under all conditions Measure the voltage to body ground:
    There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 15 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
    18 PUR Ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II), or the engine start/stop button to ACC mode or ON mode Measure the voltage to body ground:
    There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 18 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
  4. Disconnect the 32P connector again, and make this input test at the connector. If the input test proves OK, the HandsFreeLink Control Unit is faulty, replace it.
