Gauge Control Module Input Test

NOTE: Check the No. 22 (120 A), No. 23 (60 A), No. 15(40 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box before testing.
  1. Before troubleshooting the gauge control module, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control system first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).
  2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  3. Remove the gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).
  4. Disconnect connectors from the gauge control module.
  5. 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 look OK, Go to step 6.
    NOTE: All connectors are wire side of female terminals.

WIRE TEST CONDITION REFERENCE CHART

Cavity Wire Test Condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
C10 BLK In all ignition switch positions Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G402)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
A19 WHT/RED Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. 7 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
A20 YEL Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. 21 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
B6 BRN/YEL Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal B6 and under-dash fuse/relay box connector N (45P) terminal No. 28:
There should be continuity.
An open or high resistance in the wire
