Gauge Control Module Input Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Remove the gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT  ), and disconnect the gauge control module 32P connector (A) from it.

  3. 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 are OK, go to step 4.
  4. With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If the input test proves OK, go to step 5.
      GAUGE CONTROL MODULE INPUT TEST RESULT

      Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
      16 BLU Combination light switch ON Connect to ground with a jumper wire: The dashlights should come on full bright.
      • Faulty bulbs
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      15 RED Combination light switch ON Connect to ground with a jumper wire: The dashlights should come on full bright.
      • Faulty LEDs
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      8 GRN Ignition switch ON (II), turn signal switch in RIGHT Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage when the lights are flashing.
      • Faulty MICU
      • Faulty combination light switch
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      7 BLU Ignition switch ON (II), turn signal switch in LEFT Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage when the lights are flashing.
      • Faulty MICU
      • Faulty combination light switch
      • An open or high resistance in the wire
      23 WHT Battery sensor 2P connector disconnected Check for continuity between terminal No. 23 and battery sensor 2P connector terminal No. 1: There should be continuity. An open in the UART wire
      Check for continuity to ground:
      There should be no continuity.
      A short to ground in the UART wire
  5. Reconnect the 32P connector to the gauge control module, and do the following input tests:
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If the input test proves OK, the gauge control module must be faulty; replace it (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT  ).
