MIL Circuit Troubleshooting 

1. Gauge control module check

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -2. Do the gauge self-diagnostic function .

   Does the MIL flash?

   YES 

   Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Substitute a known-good gauge control module , then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good gauge control module, replace the original gauge control module .

2. PCM check

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Connect the HDS to the DLC .

   -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -4. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   SCS	Short

   Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting or substitute a known-good PCM .

3. Shorted wire check (SCS line)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

   -3. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector A (50P)

   -4. Disconnect the HDS.

   -5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	PCM connector A (50P): disconnected
   Test point 1	PCM connector A (50P) No. 45 - Refer to: PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs  or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2022 2023)
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short in the SCS wire between the PCM (A45) and the DLC.

   NO 

   The SCS wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting or substitute a known-good PCM .
