Console Accessory Power Socket Circuit Troubleshooting
Console Accessory Power Socket Circuit Troubleshooting
- Problem verification
-1. Test the console accessory power socket.
Does the console accessory power socket workΩ
YES
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections.
NO
Go to step 2.
- Fuse check
-1. Check the following fuses.
Fuse No. D13 (7.5 A) Location Driver's under-dash fuse/relay box Fuse No. E12 (20 A) Location Passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box Is each fuse OK?
YES
Go to step 3.
NO
Replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again, repair a short to ground in the No. D13 (7.5 A) and/or No. E12 (20 A) fuse circuit(s).
- Console accessory power socket relay check
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
-2. Remove the console accessory power socket relay from the under-dash relay holder, and test it .
Is the relay OK?
YES
Go to step 4.
NO
Replace the console accessory power socket relay, then recheck.
- Open wire check (+B ACC SOCKET (CONSOLE) line) 1
-1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

Test circuit +B ACC SOCKET (CONSOLE) Test point 1 Passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector E (42P) No. 8 (WHT) Test point 2 Body ground Is there battery voltage?
YES
Go to step 5.
NO
- Open wire check (+B ACC SOCKET (CONSOLE) line) 2
-1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Console accessory power socket relay: disconnected
Test circuit +B ACC SOCKET (CONSOLE) Test point 1 Console accessory power socket relay 4P socket No. 1 (WHT) Test point 2 Body ground Is there battery voltage?
YES
The +B ACC SOCKET (CONSOLE) wire is OK. Go to step 6.
NO
Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.
- Determine possible failure area (console accessory power socket relay switch side circuit, console accessory power socket relay coil side circuit)
-1. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.
Terminal A Console accessory power socket relay 4P socket No. 1 (WHT) Terminal B Console accessory power socket relay 4P socket No. 2 (RED) Does the console accessory power socket workΩ
YES
Go to step 7.
NO
Go to step 10.
- Open wire check (ACC line) 1
-1. Remove the jumper wire.
-2. Turn the vehicle to the ACCESSORY mode.
-3. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle ACCESSORY modeConsole accessory power socket relay: disconnected Test circuit ACC Test point 1 Driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector G (16P) No. 12 (PUR) Test point 2 Body ground Is there battery voltage?
YES
Go to step 8.
NO
- Open wire check (ACC line) 2
-1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle ACCESSORY modeConsole accessory power socket relay: disconnected Test circuit ACC Test point 1 Console accessory power socket relay 4P socket No. 3 (PUR) Test point 2 Body ground Is there battery voltage?
YES
The ACC wire is OK. Go to step 9.
NO
Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.
- Open wire check (GND line)
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
-2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) modeConsole accessory power socket relay: disconnected Test circuit GND Test point 1 Console accessory power socket relay 4P socket No. 4 (BLK) Test point 2 Body ground Is there continuity?
YES
The GND wire is OK. Replace the console accessory power socket relay.
NO
Repair an open or high resistance in the ground wire or poor ground (G503).
- Open wire check (CTR ACC SOCKET line)
-1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) modeConsole accessory power socket relay: disconnectedConsole accessory power socket relay 4P socket No. 1 and No. 2: jumped Test circuit CTR ACC SOCKET Test point 1 Console accessory power socket 2P connector No. 2 (RED) Test point 2 Body ground Is there battery voltage?
YES
The CTR ACC SOCKET wire is OK. Go to step 11.
NO
Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.
- Open wire check (GND line)
-1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) modeConsole accessory power socket relay: disconnectedConsole accessory power socket relay 4P socket No. 1 and No. 2: jumped Test circuit GND Test point 1 Console accessory power socket 2P connector No. 1 (BLK) Test point 2 Body ground Is there continuity?
