CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Check CAN Bus Line for Short to GND (LHD Models)

DESCRIPTION

There may be a short circuit between the CAN bus main wire and GND when there is no resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 4 (CG) or 14 (CANL) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

Symptom Trouble Area

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 GND IN CAN BUS WIRE (CAN NO. 1 J/C)


    1. Turn the power switch off.

  4. CHECK FOR SHORT TO GND IN CAN BUS WIRE (ECU, SENSOR)


    1. Reconnect the CAN No. 1 junction connector and CAN No. 2 junction connector wire harness connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECU or sensor connected to the CAN bus wire that is shorted to ground.

      Tech Tips

      If the ECU or sensor has multiple connectors, disconnect the connector that includes the CAN bus wires. To determine the ECU or sensor that is connected to the shorted bus wire, refer to the terminals of ECU tables Click here.
