  1. CHECK FUSE (MPX-B, D/C CUT) 
    1. Remove the MPX-B from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
    2. Measure the resistance of the fuses.

      Standard: 

      Below 1 Ω 

    NG : REPLACE FUSE 

    OK : Go to next step 

  2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (COWL SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK LH - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)
