Under-dash Fuse/Relay Box
Removal and Installation
SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations {see page 23-13) andprecautions and procedures (see page 23-14) in the SRS
section before performing repairs or service.
Removal
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio,
then write down the frequencies for the radio's
preset buttons.
2. Disconnectthe battery negative cable, then
disconnect the positive cable, and wait at least
three minutes.
3. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover (see
page 20-59).
4. Disconnect the connectors from the fuse side of the
under-dash fuse/relay box.
5. Remove the mounting bolt, and slide the under-
dash fuse/relay box (A) down from the bracket {B).
6. Disconnect the back side from connectors from the
back of the under-dash fuse/relay box, and remove
the fuse/relay box.
NOTE:The SRS connector is a spring-loaded lock
type (see page 23-1 1).
lnstallation
1. Installthe under-dash fuse/relay box in the reverse
order of removal and connect all connectors to the
under-dash fuse/relay box.
2. Installthe driver's dashboard lower cover.
3. Connect both the negative cable and positive cable
to the battery.
4. Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter
the customer's radio station presets.
5. Confirm that all systems work properly,
6. Do the engine control module (ECM) idle learn
procedure (see page 11-139).

Battery
{Battery Test
Use either a JCI or Bear ARBST tester, and follow the
manufacturer's procedures. lf Vou don't have one of
these computerized testers, follow this conventional
test procedure:
1. Be sure the temperature of the electrolyte is
between 70'F (21"C) and 100'F (38'C).
2. Inspect the battery case for cracks or leaks.
. lf thecase isdamaged, replacethe battery.l. lf the case looks OK, go to step 3.
3. Check the indicator EYE.
. lf the EYE indicatesthe baftery ischarged, goto
step 4.. lf the EYE indicatesa lowcharge, gotostep7.
4. Apply a 300 amp load for 15 seconds to remove the
surface charge.
5, Wait 15 seconds, then apply a test load of 280 amps
for 15 seconds.
6. Record battery voltage.
. lf voltage is above9.6volts,the battery isOK.l. lf voltage is below9.6volts, gotostepT.
7. Charge the battery on High (40 amps) until theEYE
shows the battery is charged, plus an additional 30
minutes. lf the battery charge is very low, it may be
necessary to bypass the charger's polarity
protection circuitry.
. lf the EYE indicatesthe battery is chargedwithin
3 hours, the battery is OK.l. lf the EYE indicatesthe battery is notcharged
within 3 hours, replace the battery.l
A battery can explode if you do not follow the
proper procedure, causing serious injury to anyone
nearby. Follow all procedures carefully and keep
sparks and open flames away from the battery.

Coolant Temperature Gauge
Troubleshooting
Before testing, check the No. I { 10A) fuse in the under-
hood fuse/relay box and the No. '10 (7.5A) fuse in the
under dash fuse/relay box.
1. Start the engine, and check the malfunction
indicator lamp (MlL).
Does the MIL come on?
YES- Troubleshoot the cause of the ECM DTC (see
page 1 1-57), and recheck.
NO-Go to step 2.
2. Check for a multiplex control unit DTC (see page
22,168).
ls a DTC ind icated?
YES Troubleshooting the cause of the multiplex
control unit DTC {see page 22-168), and recheck.
NO Go to step 3.
3. Do the communication line check with the self-
diagnosis procedure (see page 22-56).
ls the word "Error" indicated on the odo/ttip
d isplay ?
YES The gauge cannot receive the signal from the
multiplex control unit and the ECI\,4. Check for an
open in the WHT/GRN wire (gauge connector
terminal B 13). lf no open is found, go to step 5.
NO Go to step 4.
4. Do the gauge drive circuit check with the self-
diagnosis procedure (see page 22-56).
Does the temperature gauge needle sweep lrom
the minimum position to the maximum, then tetutn
to the minimum position?
YES Go to step 5.
NO Replace the gauge assembly.l
5. Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck.
Did the symptom/ ind ication go away?
YES Replace the ECM.
NO Substitute a known good gauge assembly. lf
the symptom/indication goes away, replace thegauge assembly.l
