Multiplex Control Unit Input Test
NOTE: If the multiplex control unit is replaced, never use a multiplex control unit other than the one which is manufactured by the original multiplex control unit maker. Using other multiplex control units, manufactured by a non-original maker could cause a malfunction of communication among the multiplex control unit.

2. 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 3.
3. Make the following input tests at connector A.
- If a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
