CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING SYSTEM HANDLING
Be careful when replacing parts. Incorrect replacement could affect the performance of the steering system and result in hazardous driving.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM HANDLING
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) which includes parts such as airbags for the driver and front passenger. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause unexpected SRS deployment during servicing and may cause a serious accident. Before servicing (including removal/installation, inspection and replacement of parts), be sure to read precaution for SRS.
BUS WIRE REPAIR
After repairing the bus wire with solder, wrap the repaired part with vinyl tape.
Note
The CANH bus wire and CANL bus wire must be installed together.
When installing the CAN bus wires, make sure to twist them.
CAN bus wires are likely to be influenced by noise if the bus wires are not twisted together.
Leave approximately 80 mm (3.15 in.) loose in the twisted wires around the connectors.
| *1 | By-pass Wire |
Do not use by-pass wiring between the connectors.
Note
The protective effect of the twisted wire harness will be lost if bypass wiring is used.
CONNECTOR HANDLING
| *1 | Tester Probe |
When inserting probes into a connector, insert them from the rear of the connector.
| *1 | Repair Wire |
Use a repair wire to check the connector if it is impossible to check resistance from the rear of the connector.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INSPECTING OR REPLACING CAN JUNCTION CONNECTOR
If the CAN junction connector is removed from the vehicle for inspection or replacement, make sure to install the CAN junction connector and all wire harnesses to their original locations with tape and the clamps.
