CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Check Bus 5 Line for Short to GND

DESCRIPTION

There may be a short circuit between one of the CAN bus lines and GND when there is no resistance between terminal 15 (CA5H) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) and terminal 4 (CG) of the DLC3, or terminal 16 (CA5L) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) and terminal 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

Symptom Trouble Area
No resistance exists between terminal 15 (CA5H) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) and terminal 4 (CG) of the DLC3, or terminal 16 (CA5L) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) and terminal 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

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 engine 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 engine 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.

    Click here

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

    DTC check procedure: Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait at least 20 seconds, turn the lane departure alert system on using the LDA main switch, turn the dynamic radar cruise control system on using the cruise control main switch, and then drive the vehicle at a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more for 52 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 as normal.

  • Before replacing the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) or certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to Service Bulletin.

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.
