Is there continuity?

YES -Substitute a known-good gauge control module (see REWRITING THE ODO DATA AND
TRANSFERRING MAINTENANCE MINDER ON A NEW GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ), then
go to step Hand recheck. If DTC U0155 is not indicated, replace the original gauge control module (see
REWRITING THE ODO DATA AND TRANSFERRING MAINTENANCE MINDER ON A NEW
GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ), then go to step 14.

NO -Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E24) and the gauge control module, then go to step
14.

14. Reconnect all connectors.

15. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

16. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.

17. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).

18. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC U0155 indicated?

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the gauge control module and the ECM/PCM,
then go to step 1.

NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the
INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING.

F-CAN CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

NOTE:

Information marked with an asterisk (*) applies to the CANL line.

Is there about 99-121 ohms?

YES -Go to step 26.

NO -Go to step 5.

5. Disconnect the gauge control module 36P connector (see REWRITING THE ODO DATA AND

TRANSFERRING MAINTENANCE MINDER ON A NEW GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ).

6. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL

UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).

7. Disconnect the TPMS control unit 20P connector (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

8. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminals E11 and E24*.
