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 OPEN IN CAN BUS WIRES (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR BRANCH WIRE)


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

      Disconnect the L42 steering angle sensor connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L42-4 (CANH) - L42-3 (CANL) Cable disconnected from negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal 54 to 69 Ω

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE CAN MAIN BUS BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR BRANCH WIRE)

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GROUND TERMINAL)

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L42-2 (ESS) - Body ground Cable disconnected from negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal Below 1 Ω

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (GROUND CIRCUIT)

    OK

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE TERMINAL)


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