1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), then turn it to
ON (II) again.
4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
If DTC 86-01 is indicated at the same time, do
the DTC 86-01 troubleshooting first (see page
19-156). If DTC 86-01 is not indicated, go to step 5.
If any other DTCs are indicated, go to the
indicated DTCs troubleshooting. If DTCs are not
indicated, there was an intermittent failure, the
system is OK at this time. Check for loose terminals
between the gauge control module (tach) 36P
connector and the VSA modulator-control unit 37P
connector. Refer to intermittent failures
troubleshooting (see page 19-98).
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), then turn it to ON (II) again.
Go to step 6.
Do the gauge control module troubleshooting
(see page 22-241).
6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
7. Disconnect the gauge control module (tach) 36P connector. 8. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 37P
connector (see step 2 on page 19-171).
9. Check for continuity between the VSA modulator- control unit 37P connector terminal and gauge
control module (tach) 36P connector terminal (see
table).
CAN-L No. 1 No. 19
CAN-H No. 15 No. 1
Check for loose terminals in the gauge
control module (tach) 36P connector. If necessary,
substitute a known-good gauge control module
(tach), then go to step 1, and recheck. If no DTCs
are indicated, replace the original gauge control
module (tach) (see page 22-277). If DTC 86-31
resets, replace the VSA modulator-control unit
(see page 19-171).
Repair open in the wire between the gauge
control module (tach) and the VSA modulator-
control unit.

NOTE: Do not damage or drop the combination switch as the steering angle sensor is sensitive to shock and vibration.
1. With the wheels in the straight-ahead position and the steering wheel centered, remove the steering wheel (see page 17-6).
2. Remove the steering column covers (see page 17-9) and the cable reel (see page 24-200).
3. Remove the combination switch assembly (see step 11 on page 17-11).
4. Remove the combination light switch (A) and the wiper/washer switch (B) from the combination switch body assembly (C).
5. Install the combination switch body assembly in the r everse order of removal.
NOTE:  Do not remove the steering angle sensor from the combination switch body.
 When installing the cable reel, set the turn signal canceling sleeve position so that the arrow points straight up (see page 24-201).
 When installing the combination switch, tighten the m ounting screws to the specified torque and sequence
shown (see page 17-12).
