Control Unit Input Test

  1. Remove the throttle actuator control module, adaptive cruise control (ACC) unit (see ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ) and the HandsFreeLink control unit (see HFL CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  )
  2. Disconnect the 22P connector (A) from the HandsFreeLink control unit (B).

  3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals for a good pinfit 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 4.
  4. Reconnect the connector, and make these input tests at the connector.
    • 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 5.
    WIRE CAVITY REFERENCE CHART

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained
    13 BLK Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground:
    There should be less than 1 V.
    • Poor ground (G651)
    • An open in the wire
    11 WHT Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground:
    There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 5 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
    1 PUR Ignition switch ACC (I) or ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground:
    There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 32 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
  5. Disconnect the 22P connector again, and make this input test at the connector.
    • If the test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If the input test proves OK, the HandsFreeLink control unit must be faulty, replace it.
    WIRE CAVITY REFERENCE CHART

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained
    14 LT GRN Under all conditions Check for continuity between No. 14 terminal and the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector X (39P) No. 27 terminal:
    There should be continuity.
    An open in the wire
    Driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector X (39P) disconnected Check for continuity to ground:
    There should be no continuity.
    Short to ground
