CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the power switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key or any switches, or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.

  • After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

  • Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output.

  • After performing repairs, perform the DTC check procedure and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.

  • DTC check procedure: Turn the power switch on (IG), turn the blind spot monitor main switch on, turn the cruise control main switch on, wait at least 60 seconds and then drive the vehicle at a speed of 36 km/h (22 mph) or more for 300 seconds or more.

  • After the repair, perform the CAN bus check and check that all the ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed.

  • If the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) is replaced, refer to Service Bulletin.

Tech Tips


  • Operating the power switch, any other switches or a door triggers related ECU and sensor communication on the CAN. This communication will cause the resistance value to change.

  • Even after DTCs are cleared, if a DTC is stored again after driving the vehicle for a while, the malfunction may be occurring due to vibration of the vehicle. In such a case, wiggling the ECUs or wire harness while performing the inspection below may help determine the cause of the malfunction.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK FOR SHORT TO GND IN CAN BUS LINE (NO. 1 CAN JUNCTION CONNECTOR)


    1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

    2. Disconnect the O104 No. 1 CAN junction connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    1. Reconnect all wire harness connectors.

    2. Disconnect the ECU or sensor connected to the CAN bus line that is shorted to ground.

      Tech Tips

      If the ECU or sensor has multiple connectors, disconnect the connector that includes the CAN bus lines. To determine the ECU or sensor that is connected to the shorted bus line, refer to Terminals of ECU.
