- Reconnect the connector to the center information display, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and do the following input tests:
- If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all input tests prove OK, the center information display must be faulty; replace it.
Cavity Wire Test Condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained 11 BLK In all ignition switch positions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V. - Poor ground (G506) or an open in the ground wire
- An open or high resistance in the wire
12 WHT Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. - Blown No. 7 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
- Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
- An open or high resistance in the wire
6 YEL Ignition switch ON (II) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage. - Blown No. 21 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
- Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
- An open or high resistance in the wire
10 BLU Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 10 and PCM connector A (49P) terminal No. 30.
There should be continuity.An open or high resistance in the wire
