Before troubleshooting the gauge system, refer to multiplex integrated control system B-CAN System Diagnosis Test
Mode A (see page 22-93).
The gauge control module (tach) has a self-diagnostic function shown, and also has a customizable reset function.
 The beeper drive circuit check.
 The indicator drive circuit check.
 The switch input test.
 The LCD segments check.
 The gauges drive circuit check (Tachometer, Fuel gauge, Coolant temperature gauge).
 The communication line check (B-CAN, F-CAN, and UART lines).
NOTE: Indicators are also controlled via the communication line.
Using the HDS, select Body Electrical, Gauges, then Function Test and do the self-diagnostic function.
Before doing the self-diagnostic function, check the No. 10 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and the No. 23
(10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box. 1. Push and hold the SEL/RESET switch button.
2. Turn the headlights ON.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
4. Within 5 sec., turn the headlights OFF, then ON and OFF again.
5. Within 5 sec., release the SEL/RESET switch button, and then push and release the button three times repeatedly.
NOTE:  While in the self-diagnostic mode, the dash lights brightness controller operates normally.
 While in the self-diagnostic mode, the SEL/RESET switch button is used to start the Beeper Drive Circuit Test and the Gauge Drive Circuit Check.
 If the vehicle speed exceeds 2 km/h (1.2 mph) or the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), the self-diagnostic mode ends.
(cont’d)
Move to self-diagnostic mode.

When entering the self-diagnostic mode, the following indicators blink:
A/T gear position indicator, ABS indicator, brake system indicator, charging system indicator, cruise control indicator,
cruise main indicator, door indicator, DRL indicator, EPS indicator, fog light indicator , high beam indicator,
immobilizer indicator, lights-on indicator, low fuel indicator, low oil pressure indicator, low tire pressure indicator ,
maintenance minder indicator, malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), REV limit indicator (TYPE S model), seat belt
reminder indicator, security indicator, side airbag cutoff indicator, SRS indicator, TPMS indicator , trunk indicator,
VSA activation indicator , VSA indicator , and washer fluid level indicator.
1: ’07 TYPE S and ’08-09 models
2: ’08-09 models
3: TYPE S and ’08 Premium and ’09 models
At the initial stage of the self-diagnostic function, the beep sounds intermittently, the beeper sounds continuously
when any of the following switch inputs are switched from OFF to ON:
Cruise control main, dash lights brightness controller volume ( ), ( ) button, mph km/h switch, parking brake switch,
SEL/RESET switch, SET, RESUME, CANCEL switches, and VSA OFF switch . : ’07 TYPE S and ’08-09 models
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, the beeper sounds five times.
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, all the segments blink five times.
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, the tachometer needle sweeps from the minimum position to maximum
position, then returns to the minimum position.
NOTE:
After the beeper stops sounding and the gauge needle returns to the minimum position, pushing the SEL/RESET
switch starts the Beeper Drive Circuit Check (one beep) and the Gauge Drive Circuit Check again.
The check cannot be started again until the gauge needle returns to the minimum position.
If the needle fails to sweep, or the beeper does not sound, replace the gauge control module (tach).

Except TYPE S model Error Code List Error code Type of communication line(s) error
Example Indication
22-243
Normal (all segments come on.): Faulty (Error 1):
Fault (Error 13): Fault (Error 123):
While in the self-diagnostic mode, the Communication Line Check starts after the LCD Segments Check.
If all segments come on, the communication line is OK. If faulty, the word ‘‘Error’’ will be indicated on the odometer
display followed by number(s).
Error 1 F-CAN communication
Error 2 B-CAN communication
Error 12 F-CAN and B-CAN communication
Error 1 F-CAN communication
Error 2 B-CAN communication
Error 3 UART communication
Error 12 F-CAN and B-CAN communication
Error 13 F-CAN and UART communication
Error 23 B-CAN and UART communication
Error 123 F-CAN, B-CAN and UART communication
 If the word ‘‘Error 1’’ is indicated, there is a malfunction in the communication line between the gauge control module (tach) and the fast-controller area network (F-CAN). Check for DTCs in the ECM/PCM and troubleshoot any
DTCs found. If no DTCs are found, go to indicated troubleshooting.
 If the word ‘‘Error 2’’ is indicated, there is a malfunction in the communication line between the gauge control module (tach) and the body-controller area network (B-CAN). Go to indicated troubleshooting (B 1155 to B1160).
 Except TYPE S model: If the word ‘‘Error 3’’ is indicated, there is a malfunction in the UART communication line between the gauge control module (tach) and the gauge control module (speedo). Go to the gauge control module
(tach) input test and check terminal No. 20. If the wire harness is OK, substitute a known-good gauge control module
(speedo) and recheck.
If any F-CAN or B-CAN communication line errors are found, go to DTC check using HDS.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
NOTE: If the vehicle speed exceeds 2 km/h (1.2 mph), the self-diagnostic function ends.
