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.
Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY (I).
Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.
- If there is battery voltage, go to step 6.
- If there is no battery voltage, check for:

  - A blown No. 5 (10 A) fuse in the rear fuse/relay box.
  - Faulty cargo area accessory power socket relay.
  - Faulty rear fuse/relay box (including rear MICU).
  - Poor ground (G603).
  - An open or high resistance in the wire.
Check for continuity between terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity.
- If there is continuity, go to step 7.
- If there is no continuity, check for:
  - Poor ground (G604).
  - An open or high resistance in the wire.
