2. Remove the left kick panel.




3. Disconnect the under-dash fuse/relay box connectors F, H and P.

NOTE: All connectors 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 are OK, go to step 5.




5. Reconnect the connectors, 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, go to step 6.

6. Remove the gauge control module.




7. Disconnect the gauge control module 30P connector.
8. 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 are OK, go to step 9.




9. With the 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 the input tests prove OK, go to step 10.

10. Perform the gauge self test procedure.
- If the beeper sounds and the seatbelt light flashes, go to step 11.
- If the beeper does not sounds, or the seatbelt light does not flash, replace the gauge control module.

11. Substitute a known-good under-dash fuse/relay box and reheck the system.
- It the symptom is gone, the MICU is faulty; replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- It the symptom is still present, the gauge control module is faulty; replace the gauge control module.
