DESCRIPTION
There may be an open circuit in one of the CAN main bus lines and/or a central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) branch line when the resistance between terminals 18 (CA4H) and 17 (CA4L) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) is 70 Ω or higher.
| Symptom | Trouble Area |
|---|---|
| Resistance between terminals 18 (CA4H) and 17 (CA4L) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) is 70 Ω or higher. |
|
This malfunction is not related to the lines of a CAN branch except the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) branch lines or to ECUs or sensors connected to a CAN branch.

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.
Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the ignition 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 (-) battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
After performing repairs, perform the DTC check procedure and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.
DTC check procedure: Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait at least 31 seconds, and then drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for 303 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.
Tech Tips
Before disconnecting related connectors for inspection, push in on each connector body to check that the connector is not loose or disconnected.
When a connector is disconnected, check that the terminals and connector body are not cracked, deformed or corroded.
PROCEDURE
CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS LINES (CENTRAL GATEWAY ECU (NETWORK GATEWAY ECU) BRANCH LINE)
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
Disconnect the E139 central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) connector.

Note
When the measured value is 133 Ω or higher and a CAN communication system DTC is output, there may be a fault besides disconnection of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) branch line. For that reason, troubleshooting should be performed again from How to Proceed with Troubleshooting after repairing the trouble area.
