Console Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

NOTE: If all of the front and console accessory power sockets do not work, check the No. 18(7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and ground (G403, G601) first.
  1. Remove the center console (see CENTER CONSOLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the console accessory power socket (B).

  3. Inspect the connector 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 4.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY (I), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ACC mode:
    • With keyless access system, go to step 5.
    • Without keyless access system, go to step  6.
  5. Measure the voltage between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V.
    • If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step  7.
    • If there is more than 0.2 V, check for:
      • An open or high resistance in the ground wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and ground (G403).
      • Poor ground (G403).
  6. Measure the voltage between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector D (16P) terminal No. 14 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V.
    • If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 7.
    • If there is more than 0.2 V, check for:
    • An open or high resistance in the ground wire between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector D (16P) terminal No. 14 and ground (G601).
    • Poor ground (G601).
  7. Measure the voltage between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.
    • If there is battery voltage, go to step 8.
    • If there is no voltage, check for:
      • Blown No. 23 (15 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
      • Faulty console accessory power socket relay.
      • Faulty driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
      • An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket terminal No. 1 and driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector P (20P) terminal No. 1.
  8. Check for continuity between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity.
    • If there is continuity, replace the power socket; go to step 9.
    • If there is no continuity, check for:
      • Poor ground (G403).
      • An open or high resistance in the ground wire between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and ground (G403).
  9. Gently press the tabs (A), then remove the socket (B). A
