DTC TROUBLESHOOTING

DTC B1152: GAUGE CONTROL MODULE (EEPROM) ERROR

1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).

3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC B1152 indicated?

YES - Replace the gauge control module.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections. If the
connections are good, check the battery condition (see BATTERY TEST ), and the charging system.

DTC B1154: LOST COMMUNICATION UART

1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).

3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC B1154 indicated?

YES - Go to step 4.

NO - Intermittent failure, the UART communication line is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor
connections. If the connections are good, check the battery condition (see BATTERY TEST ), and the
charging system.

4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

5. Disconnect the gauge control module 36P connector.

6. Disconnect the keyless receiver unit 5P connector.

7. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connector K (17P).

8. Check for continuity between body ground and under-dash fuse/relay box connector K (17P) No. 2 and

No. 10 terminals.
