Front Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

Front Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

NOTE: If all of the front and console accessory power sockets do not work, check the No. 18 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and ground (G403, G601) first.

1. Remove the center console panel Center Console Panel Removal/Installation.

2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the front accessory power socket (B).





3. Inspect the connector 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 4.

4. Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY (I), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ACC mode.

5. Measure the voltage between front accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V.

- If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 6.

- If there is more than 0.2 V, check for:
- An open or high resistance in the ground wire between front accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and ground (G403).
- Poor ground (G403).

6. Measure the voltage between front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 7.
- If there is no voltage, check for:
- A blown No. 16 (15 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.
- A faulty front accessory power socket relay.
- A faulty passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.
- An open or high resistance in the wire between front accessory power socket terminal No. 1 and passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector A (38P) terminal No. 6.

7. Check for continuity between front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be continuity.

- If there is continuity, replace the power socket; go to step 8.
- If there is no continuity, check for:
- An open or high resistance in the ground wire between front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and ground (G403).
- Poor ground (G403).

8. Gently press the tabs (A) and remove the socket (B).






9. Gently press the tabs (A), then remove the housing (B) from the panel. Note the location of the indexing tabs (C).





10. Install the power socket in the reverse order of removal.
