Auxiliary Power Outlet: Service and Repair

Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

NOTE: If the accessory power socket does not work, check the No. B13 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and ground (G502) first.

1. Remove the center lower cover Dashboard Center Lower Cover Removal / Installation.

2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the 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).

5. Measure the voltage between accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 6.
- If there is no voltage, check for:
- Blown No. B13 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
- An open or high resistance in the wire between accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and under-dash fuse/relay box connector R (8P) terminal No. 6.

6. Check for continuity between the accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be continuity.

- If there is continuity, replace the accessory power socket; go to step 7.
- If there is no continuity, check for:
- Poor ground (G502).
- An open or high resistance in the wire between accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground (G502).
