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 Click here.

  • 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.

  • 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 LDA main switch on, turn the blind spot monitor main switch on, wait at least 52 seconds and then drive the vehicle at a speed of 36 km/h (22 mph) or more for 7 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 Click here.

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.

  • Connectors that connect to the CAN junction connector can be distinguished by the color of their CAN bus lines. When the connectors have been disconnected from the CAN junction connector, reconnecting the connectors to non-original positions on the CAN junction connector does not affect system performance. However, it is preferred to reconnect the connectors to their original positions to avoid negative effects on the wiring such as tension on the wiring harnesses, and to make future maintenance easier.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK FOR SHORT IN CAN BUS LINES (CENTRAL GATEWAY ECU)


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

    2. Disconnect the H201 No. 4 CAN junction connector.

      Tech Tips


      • Connectors that connect to the CAN junction connector can be distinguished by the color of their CAN bus lines.

      Connect the probes of an electrical tester to terminals 15 (CA5H) and 16 (CA5L) of the central gateway ECU connector.

    3. While observing the resistance value shown on the tester, disconnect connectors (H203, H204, H205 and U26) from the No. 4 CAN junction connector or No. 5 CAN junction connector one by one until the resistance becomes normal (between 54 and 69 Ω).

      Tech Tips


      • Disconnect the branch line connectors other than CAN main bus line connector.

      • Connectors that connect to the CAN junction connector can be distinguished by the color of their CAN bus lines.

      • Reconnecting the connectors to non-original positions on the CAN junction connector does not affect system performance. However, it is preferred to reconnect the connectors to their original positions to avoid negative effects on the wiring such as tension on the wiring harnesses, and to make future maintenance easier.
