Gauge Control Module Input Test

2006 Honda Pilot EX, 3.5 YF2, J35Z1SECTION Gauge Control Module Input Test
NOTE: If there is malfunction of the parking brake reminder and speedometer function simultaneously, troubleshooting the vehicle speed signal circuit first.
  1. Remove the gauge control module and disconnect the 36P connector B from the gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).
  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. Reconnect the connectors to the gauge control module, and make these input tests at the connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the gauge internal circuit must be faulty; replace the gauge control module.
