MICU Input Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Check the No. 22 (120 A), No. 23 (60 A), No. 15 (40 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box before troubleshooting.
  1. Before troubleshooting the MICU, 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 left front door sill trim and left kick panel (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - DOOR AREAS ).
  4. Disconnect the under-dash fuse/relay box connectors D, E, H, J, K, N, P, W and X.
    NOTE: All connector views are wire side of female terminals.

  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.
  6. With the connectors still disconnected from the under-dash fuse/relay box, do these input tests at the following connector(s).
    • 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.
