INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • Turn the power switch off before measuring the resistances between CAN main bus wires and between CAN main bus branch wires.

  • Turn the power switch off before inspecting CAN bus wires for a ground short.

  • After the power switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder warning system are not operating.

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

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.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK FOR SHORT TO +B IN CAN BUS WIRE (DLC3 BRANCH WIRE)


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

      Note

      Do not reconnect the disconnected connectors until this inspection is complete because there may be a short to +B in 2 or more CAN bus wires.

      Result
      Symptom Proceed to
      The resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 16 (BAT), or the resistance between 14 (CANL) and 16 (BAT) is still below 6 kΩ when all the specified connectors are disconnected from the CAN junction connector. (There is a short to +B in the CAN main bus wires between the CAN No. 1 junction connector and CAN No. 2 junction connector.) A
      The resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 16 (BAT), or the resistance between 14 (CANL) and 16 (BAT) becomes normal (6 kΩ or more) when a connector is disconnected from the CAN junction connector. (There is a short to +B in one of the areas that relate to one or more of the disconnected bus wires.) B

    4. When there is a short to +B in one or more of the bus wires that connect to an ECU (or sensor):


      1. Reconnect all of the connectors to the CAN junction connectors, except for the one that was disconnected last (the bus wire that is shorted to +B). Check that the resistance shown on the tester is normal (6 kΩ or more) to confirm that there is a short to +B in the one bus wire only.

        Tech Tips


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

        • 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.

    5. When there is no short to +B in any of the bus wires that connect to the ECUs and sensors:


      1. With all the specified connectors for ECUs and sensors disconnected, proceed with the inspection of the CAN bus main wires between the CAN No. 1 junction connector and CAN No. 2 junction connector.

  5. CHECK FOR SHORT TO +B IN CAN BUS WIRE (ECU, SENSOR)


    1. Reconnect the connector of the bus wire that is shorted to +B to the CAN junction connector (the connector that caused the bus wire resistance to change to 6 kΩ or more when it was disconnected).

    2. Disconnect the connector that includes the DLC3 connected CAN wires (such as CANH and CANL) from the ECU (or sensor) to which the bus wire shorted to +B is connected Click here.
