Reminder System (MICU) Input Test

1.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2.Remove the left kick panel.

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 5.

5.With the under-dash fuse/relay box connectors and MICU connectors still disconnected, 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, go to 6.

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained 
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 under-dash fuse/relay box connectors and MICU connectors, then 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 assembly.
