Measure the voltage between DLC-2 terminals CAN_L and CAN_H.
Is the voltage 2.0—3.0 V?
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Measure the resistance between DLC-2 terminals CAN_L and 
CAN_H.
Is the resistance 59—65 ohms?
Replace any units that 
do not respond.Disconnect the PCM connector.
Measure the resistance between PCM 
connector terminals 2R and 2U 
(except MZR-CD (RF Turbo)) or 13 and 
39 (MZR-CD (RF Turbo)).
Is the resistance 118—130 ohms?
Replace the PCM.
Disconnect the instrument cluster connector.
Measure the resistance between instrument cluster connector 
terminals 2W and 2X.
Is the resistance 118—130 ohms?
Replace the instrument
cluster.Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Disconnect the connector of any unit that does not respond.
(If there are two or more units that do not respond, 
disconnect only one of the units.)
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Measure the voltage between DLC-2 terminals CAN_L and

Is the voltage 2.0—3.0 V?
The disconnected unit or the 
related wiring harness may 
have a malfunction.
Replace the disconnected unit. Replace the related wiring harness.The disconnected 
unit is normal.
Are all units that do not respond disconnected?
