1. Remove the passenger's center trim (see «CENTER TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/tl/iv-2008-2011/remont/exteriorinterior-trim/#dashboard) )
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 ACC (I), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ACC mode With keyless access system, go to step Without keyless access system, go to step 6
5. Measure the voltage between front accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2V If there is less than 0.2V, go to step 7 If there is more than 0.2V, check for: An open or high resistance in the wire between front accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and ground (G601) Poor ground (G601) or an open in the ground wire
6. Measure the voltage between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector D (16P) terminal No. 14 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2V If there is less than 0.2V, go to step 7 If there is more than 0.2V, check for: An open or high resistance in the wire between driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector D (16P) terminal No. 14 and ground (G601) Poor ground (G601) or an open in the ground wire
7. 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 8 If there is no battery voltage, check for: Blown No 23 (15 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box Faulty front accessory power socket relay Faulty driver's under-dash fuse/relay box Open in the wire between the front accessory power socket relay terminal No 1 and driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector P (20P) terminal No. 1
8. 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 9 If there is no continuity, check for: Poor ground (G 403) Open or high resistance in the wire between front accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No 2 and the ground (G403)
9. Remove the screw and socket base (A), then remove the socket (B)
10. Remove the housing (A) from the socket base (B)
11. Install the power socket in the reverse order of removal

Console Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

Note. If the front and console accessory power socket 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

Scheme 41

1. Remove the center console panel (see «CENTER CONSOLE PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/tl/iv-2008-2011/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#consoles__center-console-panel-removalinstallation) )
2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the console 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 ACC (I), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ACC mode
5. Measure the voltage between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and body ground. There should be less than 0.2V If there is less than 0.2V, go to step 6 if there is more than 0.2V, check for: On open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No. 3 and ground (G403) Poor ground (G403) or an open in the ground wire
6. Measure the voltage between console 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 battery voltage, check for: Blown No 16 (15 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box Faulty console accessory power socket relay Faulty passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No 2 and passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector A (38P) terminal No. 6. An open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket relay terminal No 1 and console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No 1.
7. Check for continuity between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No 2 and body ground There should be continuity If there is continuity, go to step 8 If there is no continuity, check for: Poor ground (G403) Open or high resistance in the wire between console accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No 2 and the ground (G403)
8. Remove the socket (A)
9. Remove the housing (A) from the panel
10. Install the power socket in the reverse order of removal
