  4. Remove the mounting bolt (C) and loosen the bolt (D), then remove the bolts (E) from the bracket.
  5. 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  6.
  6. Reconnect the connector and make these input tests at the connector under the test conditions listed.
    • 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  7.

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    14 BLK Under all conditions Measure the voltage to body ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
    • Poor ground(G503)
    • An open or high resistance in the wire
    27 PUR Ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) Measure the voltage to body ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. B14 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open or high resistance in the wire
    28 PNK Under all conditions Measure the voltage to body ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. B1 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open or high resistance in the wire
  7. Disconnect the 28P 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 COLOR TERMINAL REFERENCE CHART

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    25 GRN Under all conditions Check for continuity between No. 25 terminal and the under-dash fuse/relay box connector Y (16P) terminal No. 6: There should be continuity. An open in the wire
    Disconnect these items:
    • Under-dash fuse/relay box connector Y(16P)
    • Gauge control module 32P connector
    • Immobilizer-keyless control unit 7P connector
    • Climate control unit 36P connector
    Check for continuity to ground: There should be no continuity. Short to body ground in the wire
