CAUTION: Before performing diagnosis, refer to "CAUTION" in "General Description". Refer to COCKPIT CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>General Description>CAUTION .
  1. CHECK ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION  .

    Check if any external devices which emit strong electromagnetic waves and noises, such as a radio antenna, is installed inside the vehicle.

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : Go to  2.

    No  : Remove the external device to check the operation. If the fault is not fixed: Go to  2.

  2. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION  .

    Check that the connector is connected to the unit.

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : Go to  3.

    No  : Connect the connector.

  3. CHECK CONNECTOR  .

    Check for poor contact of connectors or terminals.

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : Go to  4.

    No  : Repair or replace the harness.

  4. CHECK POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ACC.
    2. Using the tester, measure the voltage between cockpit control module connector (i 102) and chassis ground.
      NOTE: Turn the electrical parts to OFF.

      Connector & terminal 

      (il02) No. 3 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (il02) No. 4 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage 12 V or more?

    Yes  : Go to  8.

    No  : Go to  5.

  5. CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT IN HARNESS (POWER SUPPLY)  .

    Using the tester, measure the voltage between cockpit control module connector (i 102) and chassis ground while shaking the harness.

    Connector & terminal 

    (il02) No. 3 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    (il02) No. 4 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage 12 V or more?

    Yes  : Go to  6.

    No  : Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.

  6. CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT IN HARNESS (GROUND)  .

    Using the tester, measure the resistance between cockpit control module connector (il02) and chassis ground while shaking the harness.

    Connector & terminal 

    (il02) No. 7 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance 1 Ω or less?

    Yes  : Go to 7.

    No  : Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.

  7. CHECKBATTERY.

    Check the battery. Refer to STARTING/CHARGING SYSTEMS (H4DOTC)>BATTERY . Refer to STARTING/CHARGING SYSTEMS (H4DO)>BATTERY .

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : Go to  8.

    No  : Replace the cockpit control module. Refer to ENTERTAINMENT & MONITORING>COCKPIT DISPLAY .

  8. CHECK UNIT OPERATION  .
    1. Connect all connectors.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ACC and the power supply switch of the unit to ON.

    Is the reset eliminated?

    Yes  : Currently no failure is found.

    No  : Go to  9.

  9. CHECK SOFTWARE VERSION  .

    Check the firmware of the cockpit control module.

    Is the firmware the latest?

    Yes  : Replace the cockpit control module. Refer to ENTERTAINMENT & MONITORING>COCKPIT DISPLAY .

    No  : Update the firmware to the latest and reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.
