CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • 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 Click here.

  • 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, 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 notice before proceeding with work Click here.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

  • 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) and wait at least approximately 60 seconds.

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

Tech Tips


  • Operating the power switch, any switches or any doors triggers related ECU and sensor communication with the CAN, which causes resistance variation.

  • 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 OPEN IN CAN BUS WIRE (FRONT STEERING CONTROL ECU CAN BRANCH WIRE)


    1. B002BA9E01

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

    2. Disconnect the front steering control ECU connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Bus 2
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N104-3 (CNH1) - N104-9 (CNL1) Cable disconnected from negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal 54 to 69 Ω
      Bus 4
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N104-2 (CNH2) - N104-8 (CNL2) Cable disconnected from negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal 54 to 69 Ω

      Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

      Note

      When connecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

    2. Disconnect the front steering control ECU connector.

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      A31-2 (PIG) - Body ground Power switch off 11 to 14 V
      N104-7 (+BI) - Body ground Power switch off 11 to 14 V
      N104-4 (IG) - Body ground Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A31-1 (PGND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      N104-13 (PGD2) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    OK
