Connector & terminal 
(B281) No. 1, 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the measured value more than 10 V? Go to step 2.  Check the harness for open circuits or shorts between the integrated module and the fuse.
2 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT. 
Measure the resistance between the harness connector terminal and chassis ground.
