CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (for LHD without Entry and Start System) HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING


  1. IMPORTANT POINTS CONCERNING TROUBLESHOOTING

    CAUTION:

    Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

    Note


    • Refer to the troubleshooting procedures of each system if DTCs regarding the CAN communication system are not output.

    • Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any switches or any doors. If doors need to be opened in order to check connectors, open the doors and leave them open.

    • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work Click here.

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

    Tech Tips


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

    • *: Use the intelligent tester.


    1. DTCs indicating a CAN communication malfunction are also stored due to internal or power source-related problems in ECUs or sensors of systems using CAN communication. Therefore, check whether codes indicating internal or power source-related problems in those systems are output together with the CAN communication DTCs.

    2. It is possible to inspect the circuit of the DLC3 branch line or V1 bus main line for malfunctions by inspecting the terminals of the DLC3 using SST.

      Note

      It is only possible to inspect branch lines to ECUs (sensors) or the V1 bus from the DLC3.

    3. It is possible to check which ECUs (sensors) are not able to communicate via CAN communication by checking the "Bus Check" function of the intelligent tester (when the DLC3 branch wire and V1 bus main wire are normal).

      Tech Tips


      • When checking "Bus Check", ECUs (sensors) whose branch line is open or that cannot communicate via CAN communication do not respond to the intelligent tester (they are not displayed on the screen).

      • When checking "Bus Check", if a DTC indicating a CAN communication malfunction is output even though all ECUs (sensors) respond (they are displayed on the screen), use the DTC combination table to determine the suspected trouble area and perform symptom simulation.

    4. For past malfunctions of the V1 bus, the ECUs (sensors) which cannot communicate via CAN communication can be determined from the combination of CAN communication DTCs that are output.

    5. When an open circuit malfunction is confirmed, before disconnecting the connectors for inspection, check whether the connectors are loose by pushing in the connector case.

    6. When a connector is disconnected, check if the connector terminals or case is damaged, deformed, deteriorated, etc.

    2. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE

      Standard voltage
      11 to 14 V

      If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.


      NEXT

    3. CHECK AND CLEAR DTC*


      1. Using the intelligent tester, perform the all DTCs check.

        Note


        • If codes indicating internal or power source-related malfunctions of ECUs or sensors are output together with codes indicating that those ECUs or sensors cannot communicate via CAN communication, it is likely that the problem is not in the CAN communication line. Therefore, perform troubleshooting for the DTCs related to the malfunctioning parts first.

        • If a connector of a system which includes a CAN communication line is disconnected when the ignition switch is ON or ACC, CAN communication DTCs will be stored by that system and any related systems.

    4. CHECK INSTALLED SYSTEMS (ECU AND SENSOR) THAT USE CAN COMMUNICATION


      1. Based on the vehicle equipment and specifications, confirm the systems that use CAN communication Click here.

    5. CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT IN DLC3 BRANCH WIRE AND V1 BUS CIRCUIT MAIN WIRE AND SHORT CIRCUIT (CANH - CANL)


      1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal before measuring the resistances of the main wire and the branch wire.

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

        Note

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

      2. Select "Bus Check" from "System Select".

      3. Check the display of the connected ECUs and sensors for a minute.

        Result
        Inspection Result Proceed to
        All ECUs and sensors connected to CAN communication system displayed on screen (CAN bus circuit currently normal). A
        A single ECU or sensor that should be connected to CAN communication is not displayed (ECU or sensor branch wire open or communication stop). B
        ECU or sensor that should be connected to CAN communication is not displayed or display is intermittent during check (ECU or sensor branch wire open on one side). C

        Note

        ECUs and sensors that are not present will not be displayed. Be careful not to mistake them for communication stop malfunctions.

        Tech Tips

        If the display of an ECU is intermittent during the check, one side of an ECU or sensor branch wire is open (the signal of the ECU is treated as noise, which affects the response and display of the intelligent tester).
