Cargo Area Light Test/Replacement

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Honda Crosstour, 2014 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2012 Honda Crosstour, and 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  4. Disconnect the 2P connector (B) from the cargo area light.
  5. Check for continuity between terminals No. 2 (+) and No. 1 (-). There should be continuity. If there is no continuity, check the bulb. If the bulb is OK, replace the cargo area light assembly.
    NOTE:
    • Make sure the correct test lead (+ or -) is placed on the terminal.
    • When checking for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting (→ ) on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias.
    • Note this important operating characteristic; diode bias causes a diode to fully conduct electricity in one direction (forward), while not all in the opposite direction (reverse).

  6. If the continuity is not specified, check the bulb (C). If the bulb is OK, replace the cargo area light.
  7. Install the light in the reverse order of removal.
