MICU Input Test

  1. Before troubleshooting the multiplex control system, troubleshoot the B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).
  2. Check the No. 10 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If the fuse is blown, replace it and go to step 3.
  3. Disconnect the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connectors E, F, R, and S.
    NOTE: All connector views are wire side of female terminals.

  4. 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 5.
  5. With the connectors still disconnected, make the input test at the connector.
    • If a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If the input test proves OK, go to step 6.

      E15 (A/T) BRN Under all conditions Connect battery power to the E15 terminal:
      The back-up lights should come on.
      • Poor ground (G701)
      • Blown bulb
      • An open in the wire
  6. Reconnect the connector to the under-dash fuse/relay box, and make these input tests at the connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the MICU must be faulty; replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.
