MICS (MICU) Input Test

  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  1. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors A, B, G, K, M, N, P, and Q.
    NOTE: All connector views are shown from wire side of female terminals.
  1. 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 look OK, go to Step 5 .
  1. With the connectors still disconnected, make these input tests at the connectors.
    • 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 .
