Console Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

Console Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

NOTE: If the front and console accessory power socket do not work, check the No. 18 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and ground (G403, G601) first.

1. Remove the center console panel Center Console Panel Removal/Installation.

2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the console accessory power socket (B).





3. Inspect the connector 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 4.

4. Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY (I), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ACC mode.

5. Measure the voltage between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V.

- If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 6.

- If there is more than 0.2 V, check for:
- An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and ground (G403).
- Poor ground (G403) or an open in the ground wire.

6. Measure the voltage between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 7.
- If there is no voltage, check for:
- A blown No. 16 (15 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.
- A faulty console accessory power socket relay.
- A faulty passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.
- An open in the wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector A (38P) terminal No. 6.

7. Check for continuity between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity.

- If there is continuity, replace the power socket; go to step 8.
- If there is no continuity, check for:
- Poor ground (G403).
- An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and ground (G403).

8. Remove the socket (A).






9. Remove the housing (A) from the panel.





10. Install the power socket in the reverse order of removal.
